Golf Turf Mats

Options for Golf Hitting Mats

Golf is one of those games that people can play from age 8 to 80 and beyond. Whether you are playing to chase that elusive hole-in-one or to finally break 100, practice gives you the chance. For those times when you cannot make it to the driving range or the course, you can spend some time practicing at home by using golf hitting mats from Greatmats. Commercial practice facilities can also use these mats to upgrade the quality of their practice areas.

You certainly don’t want to tear up your lawn’s grass while practicing outdoors, and golf hitting mats give you that protective layer. You can also set up our golf turf mats for an indoor golf simulator at your home or at a commercial facility. Whether you are training with a full swing or working on chipping, our specialty mats have the quality and durability you can trust.

Types of Golf Turf Mats

At Greatmats, we offer small and large golfing training mats for sale for either commercial or residential use. If you want a highly durable golf practice pad to use at home, you can purchase either type of model.

• Commercial: Commercial golf hitting mats typically have a 5/8-inch foam backing layer and a thick faux turf that withstands repeated contacts from the golf club. The foam is thick enough to support a tee, too.
  
• Residential: A residential hitting mat saves you quite a bit of money by typically offering only a 5 mm thick foam pad (about 1/5 of an inch). The turf quality remains high in this mat, so you can use it over and over without noticing damage.

Benefits of Golf Mats

Some of the key features and benefits you can find with golfing training mats include:

• Mat Size: You can find hitting mats in sizes from 3x3 feet to 5x5 feet.
  
• Roll Size: If you want to create a large golf training hitting area for a driving range, you could use a roll of turf that measures 15 feet in width.
  
• Faux Turf: By using polypropylene plastic in the turf blades, they have a realistic look versus real grass and significantly more durability for golf.
  
• Padded Layer: The foam backing layer makes it comfortable to stand and practice for a long time. The foam also absorbs the impact of the golf swing, protecting your clubs from potential damage. Thicker foam even supports an inserted golf tee.
  
• Easy Installation: Our square and rectangular golf training mats have enough weight and size that you can simply lay them in place. They won’t slide around while you’re hitting balls. You also can glue them in place if desired.
  
• Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner or leaf blower over the top of the turf to remove dust and other debris.
