Now that Christmas is close, nobody is thinking about Golf!!!!
We at VT Greens are into our slow season right now. This will give us time to put some thought into the new season coming up. We are booking into homeshows, getting new marketing materials made up and adding some new products to our already great product line.
Getting a Synthetic Golf Green installed by VT Greens means getting the best synthetic playing surface on the market. Just ask Vijay Singh, Hale Irwin, Sergio Garcia, Zach Johnson, Jim Furyk, etc. Southwest Greens has the highest endorsement on their product, about 30 Golf Pros, numerous athletes and celebrities. No other company can touch that.
Why the popularity??
Starting with first meeting with clients. "It was your personality, design ideas and quality of product" I hear this a lot. These are the factors that decide whether we get the job or not.
All Southwest Greens owners are like this. During the installation we want the clients input into the installation. Breaks, contours, speed, design are all part of the custom installation.

Are you ready for a golf green to be installed in your backyard?
1. Budget - How much money do you want to spend
2. Do I need other landscaping done
3. Call VT Greens for a no obligation consultation and let us show you what we can do
4. Size - Every so often I hear "I should have gone bigger" Don't make that mistake.
5. Let us install a Golf Green in your backyard. You won't be disappointed.

Other services we do.
-Synthetic Lawns No more mowing, watering, etc. Choose from different varieties with different blade and colour blends.
-Golf Netting With your Artificial Golf Green installed we can install a Golf Net as well. This will allow you to chip onto the green and at the same time drive some balls into you golf net. We can install these nets with metal tubing or build a beautiful wooden trellis that you can enjoy as a sitting area at the same time.
-We also carry a variety of Base Ball grass mats. Of course for the baseball fanatic to be able to practise swings and pitches at the comfort of your own home is important.
-Mini Golf Amenities at home, office or other place of business. Keep your clients occupied with a Golf Amenity installed at the Car Dealership, RV Dealership, or any other place of business that customers have to wait for services. Choose from small miniature putting courses to large pitch and putt installations.
-And ofcourse we do Landscaping in the Kelowna area.

Call us today for your quote or consultation before the spring rush.

On November 13 2007, VT Greens travelled to San Diego for installation of a modular Putting Green System on the Carnival "Spirit". Coming from Kelowna, the weather was hot. All turf and tools had to be loaded by a crane from the dock to the top of the boat. After 5 days of hard work we were done, packed up, got of the boat in Mexico and flew home.

VT Greens in Phoenix. This is where Southwest Greens headquarters is located. Southwest Greens has expanded enormously in the last 2 years and had to move to a larger building.
During the few days that we there we were shown some different techniques in both marketing, installation and maintenance of our Synthetic Golf Greens and Synthetic Lawns. Of course going down there in October, it was cold in Kelowna but HOT in Phoenix.



This equipment trailer belongs to Southwest Greens of Bakersfield, CA.
They just joined the Southwest Greens Franchise and of course had to show of their new equipment. Keeping equipment in good working order and showing up at the job site with an organized and clean trailer/equipment is our goal.


VT Greens at a conference in Phoenix, AZ. Below is Jim Flick speaking to Southwest Greens guys at one of our seminars. Ofcourse Jim sees the importance of a good putting and playing surface and therefore without a doubt endorses our system. He talked about starting the young kids out with the right technique. Because we can design and incorporate all kinds of different breaks, contours, undulation, different grass depths for chipping, differences in speed, etc. - Jim finds it to be the ultimate MUST HAVE product for any golfer. Especially the kids.



VT Greens finished up the 3 Golf Greens at the residence bordering Sunset Ranch in Kelowna. The owner could not believe how well the green held the ball. Just like the real thing.
This particular golf green product/turf and the construction of the green make the ultimate playing surface. Maybe the good old Nylon Putting Surface putts alright, however if you are after a real bent grass style green that performs and looks like the real thing, there is no alternative to a Southwest Greens Product. - The Pros Know -
