5 GOLF COURSES Golf courses are the fastest growing segment of the Southwest Greens product line. There are many issues that face small municipal golf courses, driving ranges and training facilities including the scarcity of water. Many parts of the world and many golf courses may not be spared from the restriction of its use. Southwest Greens products utilize substantially less water, reduce expensive maintenance costs while providing an aesthetically pleasing, year-round playing surface. We have completed many high profile commercial golf courses including: Nike Golf /// Fort Worth, Texas Pelican Rapids Country Club /// NWT, Canada Jiva Hill Club /// France Club Med /// Isles of Mauritius Jiva Hill Golf Club /// Crozet, France Pavlovo Golf Club /// Moscow, Russia Louvigny Golf Club /// Caen, France Normandy Golf Club /// Le Havre, France Amsteldijk Golf Academy /// Amsterdam, The Netherlands Golf Park Golf Academy /// Bordeaux, France Golf Lounge Golf Academy /// Hamburg, Germany Club Med Golf Academy /// Tetouan, Morocco Mirandol Compact Golf Course /// Albi, France Vaucouleurs Golf Club /// Civry la Foret, France Rebetz Golf Club /// Chaumont en Vexin, France Edese Golf Academy, Arnhem /// The Netherlands 4

6 CHAMPIONSHIP PUTTING COURSES Southwest Greens custom designs and builds putting courses for residential and high-end commercial resorts, including the Westin Regina in Los Cabo, Mexico and the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida. We also build and design mini-golf courses including our spectacular Carnival Cruise line installation that floats the high seas. 5

7 GOLF TEE LINES AND DRIVING RANGES Maintaining natural tee lines and tee boxes for golf courses and driving ranges can be difficult and costly due to the frequent use of these areas. Southwest Greens tee line systems provide maximum durability while maintaining the natural look of the teeall, at a fraction of the maintenance cost associated with natural tee lines. Mats used in most practice facilities and driving ranges use rubbertees that do not provide the feel of a natural tee. Our systems allow players to place regular tees directly into the hitting surface, offering a truer feel when making contact with the ball. 6

8 GOLDEN BEAR TURF The Southwest Greens and Nicklaus Design partnership began in 2004 and has evolved considerably over the years to include an exclusive, premium synthetic turf product bearing the Nicklaus nickname, Golden Bear. Golden Bear is our premium grade synthetic turf that has the look, feel and bite of natural grass. It s simply the most authentic playing surface available on the market today. In fact many PGA Tour professionals practice their short game on our golf greens. Why? Because they perform like natural grass, accepting shots from any distance and true rolls when putted. There are many reasons to invest in a Golden Bear synthetic application installed by Southwest Greens. Our products are ideal for both residential and commercial, extreme climates and in regions where water restrictions and shortages are common. The long lasting durability and high-quality of Golden Bear turf products also work well in heavy-traffic locations that require more maintenance. 7

9 GOLDEN BEAR RECREATION TURF Golden Bear recreation turf is an excellent choice for more consistency and predictability and helps to prevent injuries caused by uneven playing surfaces. Shock pads and other rubber underlayment systems can also be applied to lessen the impact of unexpected falls in areas where children are more likely to play. Our turf products provide a safer surface than natural grass installations and help young athlete s perform at their best. Southwest Greens products provide a safe, comfortable and high performance surface for a variety of activities including: Community common areas Volleyball courts Bocco ball courts Horseshoe pits Playground areas Dog parks 8

10 GOLDEN BEAR PLAYGROUND TURF Southwest Greens Golden Bear Playground Turf incorporates the highest quality materials in manufacturing to ensure long lasting performance under the toughest of conditions. Golden Bear is a dynamic synthetic system that looks and plays like real grass with an added layer of protection perfect for schools, parks and other outdoor recreational areas. Golden Bear is the ideal choice for durability, safety and natural playing characteristics. Plus, our experienced technicians ensure expert installation from start to finish, so you can count on your synthetic turf system to perform over time. Unlike natural grass, Southwest Green Golden Bear Playground Turf needs no water and no costly fertilizers or pesticides which can save millions of gallons of water every year. Best of all, at the end of your playground life all components can either be reused or recycled. 9

11 Through my company, we have been in business with Southwest Greens designing custom putting greens for homes since Based on our success, we decided to create a general purpose turf, Golden Bear Turf, which we can use for putting greens, recreation areas, multi-purpose fields as well as a residential home. In fact, I decided to take the natural grass out of my back yard and install Golden Bear Turf, not only for my putting green, but also for a general recreation area and an ornamental lawn area for me and my family to enjoy. -Jack Nicklaus, 18-time Major Championship Winner, world s leading golf course designer UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY Southwest Greens is proud to showcase the evolution of its strategic relationship with Nicklaus Design to incorporate professional design expertise in all golf and grass products installed by Southwest Greens team of certified and trained dealers.
