The golf sector is constantly evolving in search of solutions to optimize facility maintenance, enhance the playing experience, and reduce upkeep costs. Against this backdrop, artificial turf for golf courses has established itself as an increasingly popular alternative for high-traffic zones and practice areas.
With this objective in mind, Best Garden participated in the 18th edition of the UCAGOLF Conference, held from June 30 to July 2 at the Parador de Málaga Golf, one of the sector’s most important professional gatherings at the national level.
UCAGOLF, the meeting point for golf professionals.
The UCAGOLF Conference brings together directors, managers, greenkeepers, and golf course maintenance supervisors from across Spain every year to discover the latest developments in machinery, equipment, technology, and solutions for their facilities. You can learn more about their activities on their official website:

During the event, attendees can exchange experiences, discover new suppliers, and evaluate investments that contribute to improving the quality and efficiency of their clubs.
For Best Garden, participating in this event offers an opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the sector’s real needs and to showcase our specialized artificial turf solutions for golf.
Artificial turf solutions for golf courses presented by Best Garden
During the exhibition, we hosted a stand where we welcomed numerous professionals interested in upgrading various areas of their facilities with artificial turf solutions for golf courses. At Best Garden, we develop specialized projects for putting greens, tee lines, tee boxes, and practice areas; you can learn more about them in our The New Golf section.
Our technical team provided personalized advice on specific applications for:
- Practice putting greens.
- Tee line at driving ranges.
- Tee box with high player traffic.
- Driving range.
- Warm-up areas and golf academies.
- High-traffic areas and spaces subject to heavy use.
Each of these areas requires different technical characteristics regarding durability, fiber recovery, drainage, rolling speed, or performance under continuous use. For this reason, at Best Garden, we evaluate each project individually before recommending the most suitable solution.
Why choose artificial turf for golf courses?
Artificial turf is not intended to replace natural grass on every part of a golf course, but rather to offer an effective solution where maintenance is particularly complex or wear and tear is especially high.
Among its main advantages are:
- Greater resistance to heavy use.
- Excellent drainage capacity, even after heavy rainfall.
- Reduction of maintenance and irrigation costs.
- Consistent image throughout the year.
- Greater availability of facilities for players and golf schools.
- Reduced need for phytosanitary treatments and recovery operations.
These advantages make artificial turf a particularly recommended solution for clubs seeking to optimize resources without compromising on a polished image.
Applications of artificial turf for golf courses: putting green, tee line, and tee box.
During UCAGOLF, we found that inquiries from golf course managers focused primarily on three applications.
Putting green
Practice putting greens require a stable, uniform surface capable of providing consistent ball roll. Thanks to advancements in fibers and installation systems, it is possible to achieve performance very similar to that of a natural green, with significantly lower maintenance.
Tee line
The tee line withstands thousands of shots each season and is one of the areas subject to the most wear and tear. Artificial turf provides a durable, uniform surface that maintains its performance characteristics year-round, even under very heavy use.
Tee box
In certain fields—particularly those with high player traffic or where natural turf restoration work is being carried out—artificial turf is an excellent alternative for maintaining playing quality and reducing maintenance time.
An event that also generates real projects
Our presence at UCAGOLF not only allowed us to showcase our technical solutions but also to strengthen relationships with numerous clients.
During the event, we were visited by golf course managers who had previously requested a quote; they took the opportunity to have their questions answered, learn about our products, and evaluate the various options for their facilities.
As a result, several of these projects subsequently became confirmed installations. Furthermore, other professionals requested samples to continue evaluating future initiatives at their clubs.
This type of meeting demonstrates the value of direct contact, allowing maintenance managers to verify fiber quality, analyze finishes, and receive specialized technical advice before making a decision.
We also shared some of the event’s highlights on our LinkedIn profile throughout the day. If you would like to see how we experienced our participation in UCAGOLF and view photos of the stand, you can visit our LinkedIn post.
How to choose the best artificial turf for golf courses
Not all products offer the same performance, nor do all areas of a golf course require the same capabilities.
Factors such as fiber height, density, resilience, drainage, and intended use determine the choice of the most suitable system.
For this reason, at Best Garden we conduct personalized technical visits to assess each installation and recommend the solution best suited to each client’s specific needs, ensuring a durable, high-quality result.
