Looking after it

Brush the turf back up with a stiff brush every so often, because pile that has been flattened in one spot is what makes a mat read differently shot to shot. Hose it if it gets muddy and let it dry flat. Store it flat or rolled turf-side out, never folded, since a crease in the backing stays.

16mm TurfDeep enough to take a tee and a divot swing
Rubber BaseShock absorbing and non slip
Ten Tees IncludedOne rubber, nine plastic in three heights
Indoors Or OutGarage, garden or net

A 16mm turf mat on a rubber base, with ten tees in the box.

Synthetic turf that lets the club through instead of stopping it dead, a rubber backing that takes the shock, and a rubber tee plus three heights of plastic tee.

A golf hitting mat with a 16mm synthetic turf surface over a rubber base.

The turf is dense enough that the club works through it rather than bouncing, which is what makes practice translate to the course.

The rubber backing absorbs shock and grips, so the mat stays put and your wrists take less.

It is supplied with a rubber tee and nine plastic tees at 38mm, 70mm and 83mm, so irons, woods and driver are all covered.

Odour resistant and built for repeated use, indoors in a garage or outdoors in a garden.

Golf Hitting Mat Set

The thing that ruins cheap golf mats is not the turf, it is what happens underneath it.

Golf Hitting Mat Set

Hit down on a thin mat over concrete and the club stops. That jars the wrists and, worse, it teaches you to pick the ball clean to avoid the shock, which is the opposite of what you want on grass.

Golf Hitting Mat Set

A 16mm pile over a rubber base behaves differently. The club works through the turf, the rubber takes the shock, and a fat shot feels like a fat shot rather than an injury.

Golf Hitting Mat Set

It is non slip and odour resistant, which matters if it is living in a garage between sessions rather than being put away carefully every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick is the turf?

16mm.

What is underneath the turf?

A rubber base that absorbs shock and grips the floor.

Will it hurt my wrists?

That is what the rubber base is for. A thin mat straight onto concrete is what jars wrists.

Can I take a divot swing on it?

You hit down on it as you would on grass and the club works through the pile. Nothing comes out of it, obviously, but the feel is far closer than a thin mat.

What tees come with it?

One rubber tee and nine plastic tees: three at 38mm, three at 70mm and three at 83mm.

Which tee height is for the driver?

83mm for maximum elevation, and 70mm suits mid range woods.

Which tee for irons?

38mm, and it also suits low profile woods.

Can I use my own tees?

Yes, if they fit the mat's tee holes. The supplied set is there so you do not have to work that out.

Can I use it on concrete?

Yes, that is the usual case, and the rubber base is what makes it workable.

Can I use it on grass?

Yes. On soft ground it beds in and stays put.

Can I use it indoors?

In a garage or a space with the height and the room for a full swing, yes. Check your ceiling before you swing a driver.

Does it slide on a smooth floor?

The base is non slip. On a very polished floor, check it before a full swing.

Is it big enough to stand on?

Check the dimensions on the photos for current stock. Some golfers prefer to stand on the mat, others stand beside it.

Will it damage my clubs?

Practice on any mat wears a sole more than grass does. A 16mm pile is kinder than a thin one.

Does it smell?

It is described as odour resistant, which matters most if it lives in a warm garage.

How do I clean it?

Hose it, brush it, dry it flat.

Why brush it?

Pile flattens where you hit most. Brushing it back up keeps the mat reading the same shot to shot.

Can I leave it outside?

For a season of use, yes. Permanently through a British winter is what shortens any mat's life.

How should I store it?

Flat, or rolled turf side out. Folding it creases the backing permanently.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes, and it is arguably most useful for beginners, because it lets you hit hundreds of balls without a range fee.

Do I need a net with it?

If you are hitting full shots anywhere near a house, yes. The chipping net suits short game work; a full driving net is a separate thing.

Can I practise chipping on it?

Yes, and pairing it with a chipping net is the usual home setup.

Is it heavy?

It has real weight because of the rubber base, which is what stops it moving. One person can carry it.

Will it fit in a car?

Rolled, yes.

Does the turf shed?

Some loose fibre in the first few sessions is normal on any synthetic turf and settles down.

Is it left and right handed?

It works for either. The tee position is what you set up around.

How long will it last?

That depends on how many balls you hit. Rotating where you tee up spreads the wear and is the single best habit.

Can I cut it to fit?

You can, and you would be cutting through turf and rubber backing. Measure carefully, because it does not go back.

How long does delivery take?

Five to seven days across the UK. This one is over £75, so delivery is free.

Can I return it?

Yes, unused and in a saleable state. It is a stock item, so the full 14 day right to change your mind applies alongside your faulty goods rights.

Setting up a golf practice space at home

4 min read The Outdoor Sports Company

What a mat can and cannot teach you

A mat is excellent for one thing: repetitions. Grooving a swing takes hundreds of balls, and hundreds of balls at a range costs more than the mat did.

What it cannot do is give you lies. Every shot from a mat is perfect and flat. That is why golfers who only practise on mats find the course harder than the range, and it is a reason to keep some practice on grass.

The thing to check before anything else

Space, and specifically height.

Full swing indoors needs more ceiling than most garages have. Take a slow swing with a driver before you buy a net, not after.

Full swing outdoors needs somewhere the ball can go safely, which in most gardens means a net.

Short game needs almost nothing, which is why a mat and a chipping net is the setup most people actually use.

Tee heights, since they came in the box

The three plastic heights are not decoration.

38mm for irons and low profile woods. Barely proud of the turf, which is what an iron wants.

70mm for mid range woods, where you want the ball sitting up but still swept.

83mm for the driver, where the aim is to catch the ball on the way up.

The rubber tee is the durable one for repeated driving work, and it is the one that survives being hit.

Wear, and how to spread it

Every mat wears where you tee up, because that is where every ball is.

Move the tee position around by a few centimetres regularly. Rotate the mat end for end every few weeks. Between them, those two habits double the useful life of the surface.

Brush the pile up when it starts looking flattened. A mat with one polished patch plays differently from the rest of itself, and it will quietly change what your swing does.

Storing it

Flat is best. Rolled with the turf outwards is fine.

Never folded. The rubber backing takes a crease and keeps it, and a mat with a ridge across it is a mat you stop trusting.

Page summary

Golf Hitting Mat Set, also sold as Golf Mats, a Mat For Golf or a Golf Driving Mat, from The Outdoor Sports Company at myoutdoorsports.co.uk. A golf practice mat with a 16mm synthetic turf surface on a shock absorbing, non slip rubber base. Price GBP 79, reduced from GBP 99. The package includes the mat, 1 rubber tee, and 9 plastic tees: three at 38mm for irons and low profile woods, three at 70mm for mid range woods, and three at 83mm for driver practice. The turf simulates the texture and resistance of course grass, so the club works through it rather than bouncing off a hard surface. It is odour resistant and made for frequent practice, and is used in gardens, garages, practice nets and at ranges. Care: brush the pile back up periodically, hose off mud and dry flat, store flat or rolled rather than folded. UK wide delivery, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 25, arriving in 5 to 7 days. A stock item, not made to order, so the 14 day change of mind cancellation right applies in full.
