Where polypropylene golf greens vs. nylon putting greens are concerned, we’re happy to shed some light on the facts. Polypropylene golf greens from SWG may be somewhat more labor-intensive with regards to installation, but really are superior to nylon turf putting greens and the 5700 denier turf greens. The fact that we use 7600 denier turf as opposed to 5700 denier turf is significant. Our golf greens are sand-filled, to allow for support of our longer-bladed, bent-grass synthetic turf, reducing breakdown of our longer pile-height turf. Nylon putting greens can expand and contract over concrete or aggregate and do not allow for a natural ball reaction and can breakdown faster.

The battle of polypropylene golf greens vs. nylon putting greens also brings to light the fact that our sand-filled 7600 denier polypropylene golf greens have a higher pile-height due to yarn fiber length. We feel we have the competition beat when it comes to durability, lifelike bounce-back quality, and natural ball reaction - where ball spin and speed are huge factors in quality of play.  Though more labor-intensive during installation, our bent-grass, polypropylene golf greens exhibit a superior product aesthetic. 

Some features of our polypropylene golf greens vs. others:

  • 5700 denier putting greens and nylon putting greens are not constructed to control the speed of putts over time
  • Breakdown occurs faster with 5700 denier turf vs. 7600 denier turf
  • 7600 Denier turf is the premier product for putting greens
  • 7600 Denier turf is 25% thicker than 5700 denier turf - the thicker the yarn the longer the life.

To us it’s clear who comes out on top in the battle of polypropylene golf greens vs. nylon putting greens: our 7600 denier turf polypropylene golf greens are the aces-in-the-hole. In terms of durability, long-term cost-effectiveness, being UV ray resistant, and natural ball reaction, the choice is clear. Our sand-filled, bent grass, synthetic surfaces, with longer pile height, will do perfect for your residential backyard or commercial development. Our product has more durability unlike nylon putting greens and 5700 denier polypropylene turf.
