Rickie Fowler's Backyard Practice Build

We are proud to showcase the backyard installation at the home of Rickie Fowler — six-time PGA Tour winner and one of the most recognizable names in professional golf. After a stretch away from the winner's circle, Fowler has been turning heads again with his recent form: a tied-for-second finish at the 2026 Truist Championship at Quail Hollow, four top-10 finishes in 2026 Signature Events, and a T14 at the 2025 Open Championship. The short game has always been central to his game — and this backyard setup is built to keep it sharp.


Project Details:

  • 2,600 sq ft putting green — GB177 (original installation, 2012)
  • 900 sq ft putting green — GB177 with GB134 fringe (recent addition)
  • Custom bocce ball court
  • Pole vault training zone — Bolt turf
  • Two-green setup for full range of putting and short game practice

The centerpiece is a dual-green layout that gives Rickie everything he needs. The larger of the two greens is approximately 2,600 square feet and was installed by Southwest Greens back in 2012. The green is still performing beautifully today, a testament to the quality of the installation and the durability of the product. The second green, roughly 900 square feet, is a more recent addition finished with GB134 fringe for that clean, defined edge you'd expect at a tour-caliber facility.

Both greens feature GB177 synthetic turf, engineered for the consistent roll and predictable pace.

The property goes well beyond golf. Southwest Greens also designed and installed a custom bocce ball court — smooth, consistent, and built for serious backyard competition — along with a pole vault training zone surfaced in Bolt turf, engineered for the high-impact demands of athletic use. It's a full outdoor facility, not just a putting green.

For a player juggling a demanding tour schedule, a synthetic setup makes complete sense. No watering, no seasonal reseeding, no maintenance headaches — just a practice surface that looks and plays its best every single day, year-round.
