Putting Greens & Sport Courts
A few putts.One more game.
GO Designs plans backyard putting greens and sport courts in El Paso. A synthetic putting green, basketball area, or tennis or pickleball court starts with the game and the space available, including room around the playing surface.

01 / The approach
Room to play. Room around it.
A putting green can follow a garden’s edges. A court needs a different kind of space: a defined playing area, safe movement around it, and a surface built for its use. The first step is to establish what the property can comfortably accommodate.
We consider the connection to patios and paths, the direction of play, drainage, and nearby planting. Lighting, fencing, ball containment, and neighbors also belong in the discussion before a location is selected.

Putting Greens & Sport Courts
Basketball & multi-sport courts
Basketball areas and shared-use court layouts with the playing surface, equipment, and surrounding space considered together. Half-court and larger configurations depend on the site.
Tennis & pickleball courts
Layouts include the playing surface and space beyond the lines for movement, along with nets and fencing. We review the available dimensions to establish whether a full-size court will fit.
Base preparation & drainage
Levels, drainage, and base preparation reviewed before the playing surface is specified. Existing slopes and access for construction can affect the location and scope.
Lighting & landscape connections
Paths, seating, planted borders, lighting, and ball containment arranged around play. The aim is an amenity that belongs in the landscape and is convenient to use.
03 / Before getting started
Begin with the game, then measure.
Identify the sport, the level of play, and the likely number of users. Include approximate available dimensions and nearby boundaries. That is enough to begin a practical discussion of the space.
04 / A few useful answers
Planning questions.
Can a putting green fit in a small backyard?
A compact green may fit where a full court cannot. The layout depends on usable space, drainage, access, and the putting distances desired. Yard dimensions help establish whether there is room for useful practice.
Can one court support more than one sport?
Yes, if the dimensions and surface suit the games being played. A shared court also needs compatible lines, equipment, and clear space around the playing area. Some combinations require compromises in size or layout.
Does synthetic turf need maintenance?
Yes. Synthetic turf needs debris removal and periodic care. The surface manufacturer’s instructions and the amount of use determine the maintenance required.
