Turf Hub Tour Elite Artificial Grass
TurfHub Tour Elite (also cataloged as Tour Pro Elite) is a premium, specialized artificial putting green turf designed to deliver a true, professional-grade ball roll. Engineered with a texturized yarn structure, it replicates the tight, smooth surface of a high-end golf course putting green. The texturized Polypropylene fibers are curled tightly together. This design creates a omnidirectional surface texture, allowing a golf ball to roll smoothly and true from any angle without unnatural breaks. At a compact 0.625-inch height, the turf provides structural rigidity underfoot. It resists compacting or tracking, ensuring consistent Stimpmeter speeds over long periods of heavy practice. The yarn is chemically UV-stabilized. This protection stops color fading and fiber brittleness under constant sunlight, maintaining putting performance year-round. The synthetic composition is completely non-flammable and anti-acid. It can handle common patio washes, lawn debris cleanups, and intense weathering without staining or fiber decay.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
TurfHub Tour Elite is a premium, professional-grade artificial turf engineered specifically for backyard golf putting greens, multi-sport training zones, and high-performance recreational areas. Manufactured by TurfHub, it is recognized as their tightest fiber surface, explicitly designed to replicate the ball roll, stimp speed, and seamless appearance of an elite golf course green. The product line is also available in an upgraded Tour Elite XL variant, which features a taller pile height to hold more infill, making it better suited for receiving long pitch and chip shots. The core destination for this turf. It provides a smooth, directional, and true ball-roll surface for golfers looking to practice their short game at home. Because of its highly dense, ultra-short, and uniform surface, it is a top choice for sports facilities requiring flat footing, including bocce ball courts, croquet lawns, and batting cages.

Recommended Applications
Turf Hub Tour Elite (and its high-end counterpart Tour Elite XL) is a premium, texturized artificial grass engineered primarily for backyard putting greens, commercial golf practice zones, and indoor golf simulators. It features a tight, dense, short-pile surface designed to deliver a true, smooth ball roll that mimics a professional country club green. Installed as the main putting surface for residential golf upgrades. The Tour Elite XL variant utilizes a taller pile height to hold more silica sand infill, allowing the surface to realistically receive high-pitched chip and pitch shots from the surrounding fringe. Extensively deployed as the flooring for indoor hitting bays, commercial simulator facilities, and luxury recreation rooms. It provides a smooth, durable deck that integrates cleanly with launch monitors and golf nets.

Installation & Care Notes
Installing TurfHub Tour Elite (including the Tour Elite P/U and Tour Elite XL variants) transitions the installation focus from plush landscaping to high-precision engineering. Because this product is a dedicated tournament-grade putting surface featuring a tight 5/8-inch pile height, a 52 oz face weight, and a specialized polypropylene textured/action back rubber construction, subbase contouring and fine grading dictate the final ball rolling speed. Strip away all existing natural grass, root systems, and organic topsoil. Excavate the putting green footprint down to a uniform depth of 3 to 4 inches. Secure pressure-treated 2x4" timber framing or commercial-grade bender boards tightly along the perimeter. This acts as the mechanical foundation for your fringe and putting green seams. Shovel in 3 to 4 inches of decomposed granite or 3/8-inch minus clean crushed aggregate. One cubic yard of aggregate covers precisely 80 square feet at this depth. Unlike standard lawn turf which needs a flat finish, use a landscape rake to sculpt gentle breaks, slopes, and undulations directly into the aggregate base to mimic real golf course greens.
- 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 Turf Hub Tour Elite putting green line comes with a 15-year manufacturer's limited product warranty. This warranty focuses heavily on maintaining fiber strength and color consistency for golf ball roll performance but includes strict rules regarding sub-base leveling and infill. Full replacement coverage if the texturized polypropylene (PP) or monofilament polyethylene (PE) yarn exhibits premature sun-bleaching, color loss, or sun-rot. Guarantees the fibers against rotting, breaking, or dissolving when exposed to standard weather elements or light ambient chemicals due to an anti-acid yarn formulation. Covers separation issues where the texturized face fibers pull away from the specialized backing. Shifting crushed rock bases, expanding sub-grade dirt, or seams that pop open due to poor gluing are classified as installation faults and are not covered. According to the official TurfHub Tour Elite Spec Sheet, the product typically dictates a strict 2 to 3 lbs per square foot infill ratio. Failing to infill the green, or using coarse, non-rounded silica sand that lacerates the texturized roots at the base, voids the protection.

Is Turf Hub Tour Elite Right For Your Project?
TurfHub’s Tour Elite is a highly specialized, ultra-dense artificial turf engineered primarily for professional-grade putting greens and customizable multi-sport surfaces. Unlike long-blade landscaping turf, Tour Elite features a very tight fiber weave, a short pile height (typically 5/8" to 3/4"), and a texturized finish. This is the primary use case for Tour Elite. Homeowners install it to practice their short game right in their backyard. The tightly coiled, dense texturized yarn ensures a true ball roll that mimics a professional golf course green. Because of its short, uniform profile, installers can easily adjust the Stimpmeter speed (how fast the ball rolls). Adding more or less silica sand infill allows users to perfectly dial in the exact green speed they prefer. Commercial properties, hotels, corporate office courtyards, and luxury apartment complexes install Tour Elite to create outdoor golf-themed amenities for guests and residents. Because of its dense composition and high total weight, it resists flattening under concentrated foot traffic. Developers frequently use it in commercial designs—such as public art spaces or outdoor dining alleyways—to serve as a crisp, low-maintenance feature zone alongside traditional landscape turf.
