Anyone have a putting green in their backyard or have you used artificial grass? How do you like it? Worth the money? Any issues?

Neighbor had one professionally installed. He kept it for maybe 5 years but it's long been removed. Didn't seem to get much use.
As someone who used to golf regularly (sadly haven't in almost a decade, shooting is my new sport), without changing the placement of the cup(s) and probably not being very big since it's in a yard, I imagine the novelty would fade pretty quickly. When you're reading the same green repeatedly, it's not as mentally engaging because you already know it.
Not sure if those multi-uses are compatible.Part of it is an area for my kids to put their blow up bounce house, and put up their soccer net, etc. It's kid of going to be a multi-purpose area. More just looking to see how it holds up because it is pretty expensive to put down.

As an avid golfer, I have built a simulator in my garage, but have never put in a green though I have thought about it often. For putting, I really only want to practice making sure I can start a putt down my intended line for six feet. A simple mat can accomplish that. A friend of mine does have a green installed and rarely uses it.
I'm installing a putting surface so I can have fun in our backyard, but it is also going to serve as a kid play area as well. I'm not putting in-ground cups in and the area is about 15x25. It's going to have room for a soccer net, a golf net, and other play equipment. More just looking how the stuff actually holds up. I may just move forward with artificial grass and not worry about it being putting green. It was just going to be an added benefit.
I love your genuine outrage here.A Soccer net. What’s this world coming to..
I hope you have a basketball hoop up for Christ sake.
I feel like all these things are awesome at first...then you never use them.
I have a wood burning fire pit in my backyard and I can't remember the last time I used it. My buddy did a really nice gas one...never uses it anymore.
Even if you were super golfer I would think you would get bored with putting out back and end up MAYBE using it for 15 minutes a month.
