It is an inglorious little stream enough: we could easily jump over it were were not afraid of looking foolish if we fell in, and yet it catches an amazing number of balls. BERNARD DARWIN

From Gullane Hill to the Luffness Clubhouse is one huge stretch of turf, and such turf! The finest, smoothest and most delicate that was ever seen. It has been said of various people—I do not know who was the original subject—that nobody could be so wise as so-and-so looked; likewise, it might be said that no greens could be so good s the Gullane and Luffness greens look.

Gullane Hill, untouched by the invading ploughshare, has left stretches of the most beautiful golfing country in the world.

Best Indoor Putting Green 2022
Do you know the secret to making more putts? We do. Practice and owning a golf putting green really help dial in your putting stroke.
Depending on what you want to improve—like stroke, tempo or having drill videos or challenges laid out for you in an app—this guide will help you find the right putting green for you.
However, some golfers don’t have enough room in their house to practice. Don’t worry! Many golf putting greens offer different sizes to help fit any size of home and get you making more putts in no time.
Take it from us when we say an indoor putting green isn’t just a putting “mat.” We tested the best indoor putting greens on the market to see which ones roll like your country club greens, offer options like break and speed and how durable they are.
WINNER: BirdieBall
If you want a putting green that is the closest thing to the greens you play on every week, the BirdieBall is the one for you. The foam platform allows the ball to roll pure, end over end, allowing you to focus on what matters most: starting the ball on line. It may not have any alignment lines off the bat but you can customize it with whatever you like. These are just some of the reasons BirdieBall was crowned Most Wanted Indoor Putting Green of 2022.
