Villa Putting Green Ideas in the UAE: 6 Real Layouts
Looking for Inspiration?
The best villa putting green ideas come from real gardens. Here are six layouts we have built across the UAE, each shaped around its property.
1. The Poolside Green (Jubail Island)
A green that follows the line of the swimming pool and plays across two tiers joined by a gentle slope, with four holes.
2. The Bunker Green (Yas Island)
Two tiers in the back garden, with the higher level at its centre, a small integrated bunker and four holes.
3. The Green That Grew (JLT)
Began as a small, flat green and became an L-shaped, three-tier green with six holes as the family watched it take shape. Read The Green That Kept Growing.
4. The Compact Garden Green (Al Barari)
Only 20 m² with three holes, set around a pergola with stepping stones and two types of turf. See Twenty Square Metres That Changed a Garden.
5. The Three-Green Garden (Arabian Ranches)
A 200 m² garden with three putting greens, two flat and one on three tiers, over tiles, concrete and soil, with a shock pad beneath every surface. Read Greenception.
6. The Short Approach Course (Al Mizhar)
Our flagship: an 80 m² putting green with pitching areas and three holes, a target green 30 metres away and three bunkers, built from bare sand. Read From Bare Sand to a Private Short Approach Course.
