What Tour Greens does
Tour Greens, founded in 1996 and headquartered at 242 Duckworth Rd., Dalton, Georgia, designs and installs synthetic golf greens intended to replicate the look, feel, and ball reaction of natural bent grass greens used on professional tours. The core technology is a proprietary infilled synthetic grass system: XGrass-branded nylon turf (Short Game Elite, Ready Putt, Ultimate Tee) combined with a proprietary RQS infill that uses a specialized nearly perfectly round sand sourced only from Texas and Arizona to achieve smooth, tour-speed putting surfaces. The product portfolio spans short game greens, outdoor and indoor putting greens, par 3 greens, backyard golf courses, putting courses, modular putting kits, tee lines, hitting mats, replica/novelty greens, and driving range transformations for residential, commercial, hospitality, educational, healthcare, and senior living customers.
Tour Greens generates revenue primarily through one-time custom design-and-installation project fees, supplemented by materials supply economics (dealers source proprietary turf and infill from Tour Greens at preferred pricing) and dealer certification/territorial licensing. Go-to-market is hybrid: an enterprise field-sales motion targets high-value clients such as the PGA of America, professional golfers, resorts, and corporate accounts, while the majority of volume flows through a nationwide certified dealer-installer network covering all 50 US states plus Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean. The company operates as a brand within The Recreational Group, a conglomerate of recreational surfacing companies that includes sister brands XGrass, VersaCourt, Swisstrax, EZTee, Duraflex, Ice Court, and Ultra Base Systems, enabling bundled "Bring the Fun Home" solutions that combine putting greens with game courts, synthetic lawns, and garage flooring. Notable installations include the PGA of America Headquarters in Frisco, Texas, PGA Tour professional residences, a 10,000 sq/ft branded green at Swiss Re, and a full synthetic golf course at the Over Yonder Cay private island resort.
