Can a SofTrak® green have contours and undulations like a real putting green?
Absolutely. Our SofTrak® synthetic green system utilizes over 6 pounds per square foot of a specialized rounded quartz silica (RQS 2000) that can be found only in Texas and Minnesota. The sheer weight of the quartz silica (over 3 tons for a 1,000 sq.ft. green!) anchors the turf in place, causing it to conform to the slopes and contours that we carefully design and sculpt into the base. Note that smaller greens can only have modest contours or they would fail to provide a realistic practice environment.
