Show me the green!
The golf green that is. Kind of an OT question... can anyone tell me if they've been to a Marriott property with a practice putting green onsite there at the hotel? I'm not talking some cheesy astro-turf thing, but actual bent or bermuda grass.
I'm having conversations with a hotel GM who thinks it would be a great idea. Trying to gauge if any other properties have done it. I for one would love it. Have some nice scotty cameron putters to use and throw some prov1's out there on the green, I'd be out there every night.

Putting green? How about a 9 hole executive course?

Several properties in England and Scotland have full 18 hole courses.

The JW in Palm Desert has a course with a great putting green and also a real grass putt putt course. I enjoyed both of them with my son last month.

Greatly appreciate the information all! I'm really hoping that some hotels not affiliated with, or within close proximity to a golf course will think about this as an amenity to guests. I know putting greens are not cheap to build, or maintain. But something like this would allow me to feel more "at home" when on the road. Now I just need to find time to get to some of the suggestions above!
