Q&A: How much money is it to replace a green on a golf course?

QUESTION:
Let’s just say there were some divots made on a green today at the golf course I went to. A pack of kids from the local school were golfing there, and I guess they left some divots in the greens. Someone told me if there’s a divot in the green it has to be entirely replaced.

Just curious, but don’t they have to replace the whole green to fix it? How much does that cost usually?

ANSWER:

Answer by ixnaytim
an entire green costs near 50k. There are some factors that can make it cheaper or more expensive though. Such as, is it elevated? is it near an access road? What are the surroundings(Water, Bunkers, Contours)? The type of grass will matter too.
However the situation you describe does not require a big fix, just some seed. If the divot is less than 6 inches wide and a foot long, the hole should be placed on the opposite side, and the area should be tagged with red flags so you can lift your ball and place it outside the “Unusual course condition”. If it is ball marks, then use a tee and lift the area all around the divot to raise the middle then press down with your shoe.
