Southwest Greens of Asheville created a compact pitch-and-putt at The Albatross Estate & Golf Links that plays realistically and looks gorgeous. The focal point is a faithful replica of the #17 hole at TPC Sawgrass, built true to spec with matching undulations and subtle breaks for authentic putting lines.
Project Details: 3,800 sq ft across three putting greens, three custom tee boxes, a cart path, and a recreation area.
The Asheville team combined multiple turf finishes to achieve contrast and playability: white turf for bunkers and blue turf for visual accents, a professional-grade golden bear putting surface for the greens, fringe cut for the collars, and rough cut around the edges. Each golf green was constructed with performance & playability in mind to deliver consistent ball roll across the contours.

A 600 sq ft cart path was installed using grey turf with black thatch for a natural, low-maintenance look. A custom all-black infill was used to enhance the aesthetics, and custom tee markers were fabricated to match the installation’s yardage. The crew worked through snow and ice at one point to keep the schedule on track, a testament to the installation expertise we bring to the project.
Every turf project starts with a solid foundation. Our crews build each surface on a precision-engineered base that supports proper drainage and consistent ball reaction. Every contour, seam, and cut is shaped and fitted by hand to create a clean finish that plays true and lasts. It’s the kind of detail that separates a Southwest Greens installation from a standard turf job.

The Asheville team also added 1,300 sq ft of turf over the helipad and created a recreation area that wraps the hot tub and stargazing bubbles. This helps make the space useful for play and leisure year-round.
The golf experience doesn’t stop outside — an indoor simulator space adds another layer of play, perfect for all-weather practice or friendly competition after a round on the pitch. Rain and snow can’t stop this kind of play!
