Southwest Greens newest endorsee: Annika Sorenstam

Southwest Greens of Ohio would like to welcome the newest member of the Southwest Greens family, LPGA Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam.

“I chose Southwest Greens for our artificial green and playground surface because of the quality of the product and the superior customer service. I love that the artificial grass is safe and soft enough for our daughter to play on, is environmentally friendly and requires very little maintenance. They are simply the best in the industry.” – Annika Sorenstam

New Ohio Headquarters!!

Southwest Greens of Ohio is pleased to announce plans for our new Central Ohio Headquarters!

Next week we will be combining our current warehouse facilities in Hilliard and our office in Grandview Heights to a new location on the Northwest side of town.  The new building is situated on two acres near the SportsOhio site off Route 161 W.

Plans include the creation of a new practice green for our clients.

I’ll have more info as we go… Carl

This is why we build greens…

Sometimes, you just have to sit back and reflect.

We love to build greens at Southwest Greens.  But why?

Nothing hits closer to home than seeing the smiles on the faces of families who know they have something special.

Let me introduce a budding young player in Bexley.  She plays in junior golf tournaments.  This year she has already won a tournament in her division twice!  Shot 47 for nine holes…  twice.  She is 11!

This is why we build greens…

Hamming it up on her new green!

Putting practice makes perfect.

A beautiful setting for an afternoon game.

Good luck, young lady!  We are rooting for you.
