Celebrity Greens tapped to build out tour-caliber green complexes at all CityGolf USA locations
NASHVILLE, Tennessee – CityGolf USA, America’s first and only full 18-hole indoor golf course operator, has announced a partnership with Celebrity Greens, the premier synthetic golf green and landscape company trusted by over 75 PGA Tour Players, elite athletes, celebrities and avid golfers around the world.
Celebrity Greens brings three decades of design expertise to the partnership, in which they will construct the largest realistic indoor golf builds in the United States for CityGolf USA, starting with the Nashville location set to open in Winter 2026.
Since 1996, the founders of Celebrity Greens have built a reputation for creating golf environments that look, feel and perform like natural championship surfaces, combining the artistry of traditional golf course architecture with the precision of advanced synthetic turf technology.
For CityGolf, Celebrity Greens is applying its proprietary construction methods and meticulous installation standards to bring 18 Fazio Design Technologies-designed green complexes to life indoors, delivering authentic contours, true ball roll, natural shot reception and realistic short-game conditions.
“At CityGolf USA, we’re building an unparalleled indoor golf experience, and that starts with the turf,” said Tony Graffia Jr., CEO of CityGolf USA and Managing Partner of Nessie Capital. “Celebrity Greens brings three decades of industry-leading craftsmanship to their custom turf system, and they’re turning what we imagined with Fazio Design Technologies into reality, starting with our first location in Nashville.”
Each of the 18 tour-caliber green complexes within CityGolf USA’s Nashville facility have been expertly designed by the legendary Fazio Design Technologies team, all created with real sand traps and multiple cuts for a true chipping and putting experience.
In the lead up to the grand opening, Celebrity Greens is bringing the roughly 100,000 square-foot project to life with an international team of top-tier installers they’ve assembled for the first build of its kind.
Beyond traditional complexities of a build this size, tight coordination with the simulator, structural, and finish trades all working within the same confined indoor space at the same time, as well as heavy foot traffic from golfers, creates a challenging level of precision and craftsmanship rarely attempted at this scale.
The shared desire to successfully construct this rare architectural feat is a testament to the strength of the partnership between CityGolf USA, Celebrity Greens, and Fazio Design Technologies, and evidence of a collective vision to create a truly unique, world-class experience.
“CityGolf is redefining what an indoor golf experience can be, and we’re proud to be the team bringing that vision to life,” said Weston Weber, Co-Founder of Celebrity Greens. “Our goal has always been to create golf environments that look natural, play authentically, and deliver the kind of performance serious golfers expect. Translating Fazio Design’s architecture into 18 championship-caliber green complexes under one roof is an extraordinary undertaking.
“It requires an exceptional level of expertise, precision, and craftsmanship, and it’s exactly the kind of challenge our team was built for.”
CityGolf USA’s first location, set to open in Winter 2026, occupies approximately 174,000 square feet at Prologis centrally located City View Building 6 in Nashville. CityGolf USA locations will operate on a semi-private model, offering public tee times along with a small selection of early access Founding Memberships.
Following the launch of the Nashville location, CityGolf USA will open additional locations across the country.
