Professional Golf Greens in the UAE
A Riviera Grass professional green is built to play like the real thing, from the first bounce of an approach shot to the last roll toward the hole. Pitching, chipping and putting flow together on one surface, for exceptional residences, golf academies and luxury real estate developments.
- Approach areas, chipping areas, fairways and roughs
- Custom slopes, breaks, double tiers and undulations
- Adjustable pin positions and ball speed
- Complete synthetic golf courses across several hectares
The Pitch & Hold Technology
Pitch & Hold is made for professional golf greens and large estates where long approach shots are possible. It pairs 35mm specialist golf turf with around 15kg of silica sand per square metre, built up almost to the height of the fibres and finished so that the fibres naturally cover the surface. An energy absorption layer takes the ball's energy on impact.
The result: the ball can pitch and hold on approach shots, including shots played from approximately 100 metres, while maintaining a smooth, consistent putting roll.
Who It Is For
Pitch & Hold suits golf academies, hotels and resorts, master developments, leisure destinations, large-scale golf projects and luxury residences with the space for long shots. For a villa garden, our putting system is usually the right fit: see putting turf or Pitch & Hold to compare the two.
Professional Performance, Zero Natural-Turf Maintenance
Natural golf turf in the Middle East depends on heavy irrigation, specialised staff and constant upkeep against sun and heat. A Riviera Grass green stays consistent, vivid and playable in every season, engineered for the climate, with roughly 90% less water and about 85% fewer maintenance hours than natural turf.
Proven Over Time
Our Normandy estate green was installed fifteen years ago and has weathered northern France's rain, frost and constant changes in weather, and it still plays true today. The same turf and installation standards go into every green we build in the UAE.
