STi Par 3 Platinum Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Par 3 Platinum is a premium, highly versatile synthetic putting turf engineered explicitly for short-game golf setups. It is technically designed to serve as a high-durability shot receptor green that can realistically receive and check ball spin on full approach iron shots. Unlike standard low-pile putting carpets where long distance balls bounce off, Par 3 Platinum is engineered to accept full iron shots from 200+ yards away. When infilled properly, it mimics the natural ball "check-up" and backspin reactions of a live golf course bentgrass green. Used by golf enthusiasts and professionals to design customized, true-rolling short game practices. It can be contoured and graded to mirror various undulations and breaks. Installed at training academies, driving ranges, and resort amenities where high-volume daily use would quickly destroy natural turf grids. Because it can be easily cut, seamed, and placed over flat subgrades, it is used inside commercial indoor training simulators and modular putting arrays.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Par 3 Platinum is a highly versatile, heavy-infill synthetic turf designed specifically for outdoor and indoor golf putting greens and long-distance short-game practice facilities. Unlike traditional thin nylon greens, its deeper, sand-filled architecture allows it to function as a true high-performance golf surface. This is the flagship operational usage for Par 3 Platinum. Because it is structurally designed to hold a massive volume of infill ballast, it absorbs the kinetic energy of descending golf balls hit from long distances. Ball behavior mimics a natural country club bentgrass green, checking and spinning accurately rather than bouncing hard off the surface. Installers use Par 3 Platinum to build customizable putting layouts. Because the ball roll speed (Stimp meter rating) is determined directly by how much sand is layered into the fibers and how heavily it is rolled during setup.
- Natural multi-tone appearance

Recommended Applications
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Par 3 Platinum is a heavy-duty, sand-filled artificial grass engineered specifically to serve as a high-performance shot receptor for long-distance backyard and commercial putting greens. Featuring a 1-inch pile height and a 63 oz. total weight per square yard, it is built with twisted polypropylene slit-film fibers. This design allows it to hold a massive infill ballast volume of 6 to 8 pounds of silica sand or Envirofill per square foot, creating a highly cushioned, deep sub-surface that realistically absorbs the kinetic impact of long approach shots without sending the golf ball bouncing off the green. This is the flagship deployment environment for Par 3 Platinum. It is specifically used on large residential estates or commercial golf facilities to build dedicated target greens or backyard par-3 hole simulations.

Installation & Care Notes
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Par 3 Platinum is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade golf putting turf engineered specifically for long-distance shot reception, high-impact practice, and true-roll putting performance. Featuring a 1-inch pile height and a 63 oz. total weight per square yard, it is uniquely structured with twisted slit-film polyethylene fibers designed to trap and hold an exceptional 6 to 8 pounds of sand infill per square foot. This is the signature application for Par 3 Platinum. Unlike standard short-nap nylon putting surfaces that cause long shots to bounce completely off the green, this turf acts as a true shot receptor. The heavy infill cushion absorbs kinetic energy, allowing high-trajectory approach shots hit from over 50 yards away to "bite," check, and settle realistically on the green. Installed on professional driving ranges and golf academies as the target flags. It easily handles non-stop ball impacts from afar without pitting, tearing, or degrading.
- Professional base preparation recommended
- Use appropriate infill for the application
- Brush fibers periodically to maintain appearance
- Rinse as needed for dust, pets, or debris
- Confirm drainage needs before installation
Warranty & Availability
The Synthetic Turf International (STI) Par 3 Platinum is backed by an STI Manufacturer's Limited Warranty that provides 1 full year of comprehensive coverage against defects in workmanship, which then transitions into a pro-rated warranty extending up to 8 years from the initial date of shipment. Because this specialized putting green turf is engineered to function as a high-impact shot receptor taking up to eight pounds of infill per square foot, strict adherence to the manufacturer's layout and maintenance guidelines is required to keep the coverage active. Covers any hidden structural defects in the tufting or primary matrix assembly emerging within the first 12 months. Guarantees the polyethylene fibers will not exhibit more than a 50% loss of tensile strength or fade excessively from natural sunlight exposure across the 8-year timeline.

Is STi Par 3 Platinum Right For Your Project?
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Par 3 Platinum is a highly specialized, heavy-duty golf turf engineered primarily for long-distance short-game practice and true-roll target greens. Because it has a dense 1-inch pile height and is engineered to absorb 6 to 8 pounds of sand infill per square foot, it is uniquely designed to act as a true shot receptor. When golf balls hit this turf from deep into the fairway, they bite, spin, and check up exactly like natural bentgrass. Unlike low-weight putting turf that causes incoming balls to bounce away, Par 3 Platinum is heavily used in high-end residential estates where golfers want to hit full approach iron shots from 30 to 200+ yards away. Property owners drop this material into large yard layouts to practice deep pitch shots, high flops, and long irons while achieving realistic ball reactions.
