Looking after it

Brush the turf back up with a stiff brush now and then, because a flattened patch plays differently from the rest of the mat. Hose off mud and let it dry flat. Store it flat or rolled with the turf facing out, never folded, as a crease in the rubber backing stays.

16mm Synthetic TurfClose to the feel and resistance of fairway grass, so the club works through the ball.
Rubber BackingAbsorbs shock, grips the floor and does not slide about between shots.
Ten Tees IncludedOne rubber tee and nine plastic tees at 38mm, 70mm and 83mm.
Odour ResistantMade for frequent practice, including a mat that lives in the garage.

A 16mm turf hitting mat on a rubber base, with ten tees included.

Synthetic turf that lets the club work through the shot, a rubber backing that takes the shock, and tees for irons, woods and driver.

A golf hitting mat with a 16mm synthetic turf surface on a shock absorbing rubber base. The turf is close to the texture and resistance of course grass, so you hit down and through rather than bouncing off a hard floor.

It comes as a practice set: the mat, one rubber tee for driving, and nine plastic tees in three heights for irons, woods and driver. Put it in the garden, the garage or in front of a net and you have a practice bay you can use any evening.

Golf Hitting Mat

Most cheap mats fail underneath, not on top. A thin mat over concrete stops the club dead, which jars the wrists and teaches you to pick the ball clean. That habit does not help you on grass.

Golf Hitting Mat

This mat puts 16mm of synthetic turf over a rubber base. The club moves through the pile, the rubber takes the shock, and a heavy shot feels heavy rather than painful. You can work on your swing, stance and strike as you would on the tee box.

Golf Hitting Mat

The tees turn a mat into a practice station. There is a rubber tee for repeated driving work, then three plastic tees each at 38mm, 70mm and 83mm. The short ones suit irons and low profile woods, the middle height suits fairway woods, and the tallest lifts the ball for the driver.

Golf Hitting Mat

The base is non slip and odour resistant. That matters if the mat stays in a garage or shed between sessions rather than being packed away carefully each time.

Golf Hitting Mat

It suits a golfer building a home routine, a coach running short sessions in a small space, or a club looking for a practice mat to share. For more than a few mats, ask about a quote on our wholesale page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are golf mats used for?

A golf mat gives you a turf surface to hit from when you are not on a course. You can practise your swing, stance and strike at home, in a garage, in front of a net or at a range.

How thick is the turf on this mat?

The synthetic turf is 16mm deep. That is enough for the club to move through the pile when you hit down on the ball.

What is underneath the turf?

A rubber backing. It absorbs the shock of the club meeting the mat and it is non slip, so the mat stays in place.

What comes in the box?

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

Which tee height should I use for my driver?

Use the 83mm tee for the driver. It lifts the ball so you can catch it on the way up. The rubber tee also suits repeated driving practice.

Which tee should I use for irons?

The 38mm tee suits irons and low profile woods. It keeps the ball just above the turf.

What is the 70mm tee for?

The 70mm tee suits mid range woods, where you want the ball sitting up but still swept away.

Can I use my own wooden tees on it?

The set comes with its own rubber and plastic tees so you do not need to. Wooden tees are made to go into soil, so stick with the supplied ones on the mat.

Does the mat feel like real turf?

No mat matches grass in every way, but the 16mm turf is close to the texture and resistance of a fairway or tee box. You hit down and through the ball as you would outside.

How does a mat compare with practising on grass?

A mat gives you the same flat lie every time, which is good for working on technique. Grass gives you different lies, so it is worth mixing both when you can.

Will practising on a mat hurt my wrists?

Hitting down on a thin mat over concrete is what jars the wrists. The rubber base here absorbs much of that shock. If you have a wrist or joint problem, ask your doctor or physio before starting a practice routine.

Can a golf mat damage my clubs?

Any mat wears a club sole a little more than grass does over time. Deeper turf is kinder than a thin, hard mat, and a clean strike wears the club less than a heavy one.

Can I use the mat indoors?

Yes, if you have the room and the ceiling height for a full swing. Take a slow swing with your longest club first, and stick to shorter clubs if it is close.

Can I use it on concrete or a patio?

Yes. That is where the rubber base helps most, because it takes the shock the concrete would otherwise pass back to you.

Can I use it on grass?

Yes. On grass the mat beds in and stays still, and it saves your lawn from divots.

Does it slide on a smooth floor?

The rubber base is non slip. On a very polished floor, check that it grips before you make a full swing.

How big is the mat?

The mat size is shown in the product photos. If your space is tight, email theteam@customersupport.care before ordering and we will confirm it.

What is the best way to set up a golf driving mat at home?

Place it on flat, firm ground with room to swing safely and nothing fragile in the line of the ball. For full shots, add a net so the ball has somewhere safe to go.

Do I need a net with the mat?

For full shots near a house or a neighbour's garden, yes. For short chips a chipping net is enough, and a mat with a chipping net is a common home setup.

Can more than one person use the mat at once?

One golfer should hit at a time. In a group session, take turns and keep everyone else well clear of the swing and the ball flight.

Is the mat good for beginners?

Yes. Beginners need lots of repetition, and a mat at home lets you hit plenty of balls without paying for a range bay each time.

Is this mat suitable for coaching or club use?

It suits coaching sessions, club practice areas and school golf clubs where a steady hitting surface is needed. We make no claim beyond what is in the specification.

Can practising on a mat help my handicap?

Regular, focused practice is what helps, and a mat makes regular practice easier. How much your game improves depends on how you practise.

Is the mat weatherproof?

We do not claim it is weatherproof. It can be used outdoors, but store it somewhere dry between sessions and bring it in over the winter to keep it in good shape.

Does it need special care in cold weather?

Keep it indoors when it is not in use through the colder months. Frost and long spells of wet weather are hard on any mat.

How do I clean my golf mat?

Hose off mud or wipe it with water and a mild soap, then let it dry flat. Brush the turf back up once it is dry.

Why should I brush the turf?

The pile flattens where you hit most often. Brushing it back up keeps the mat playing the same way from shot to shot.

How should I store it?

Store it flat, or rolled with the turf facing out. Do not fold it, because the rubber backing will hold the crease.

Does the mat smell?

The base is described as odour resistant, which helps if the mat is kept in a warm garage or shed.

How long will the mat last?

That depends on how many balls you hit and how you look after it. Moving the tee spot around, turning the mat and brushing the pile all help the surface last longer.

What are the signs a golf mat needs replacing?

Look for thin or bald patches, tears in the turf or a backing that has cracked. Once the tee area is worn through, the mat no longer plays consistently.

Does the mat have a warranty?

We do not offer a separate product warranty. If the mat arrives faulty, damaged or not as ordered, we put it right at no cost to you.

Can I order a custom size?

No, the mat is sold in one standard size. If you need several mats for a club or school, ask for a quote on our wholesale page.

How much does the golf mat cost?

The mat set is €99, reduced from €119. Prices are shown in euro.

How much is delivery?

Standard delivery across Ireland is free on orders of €75 or more after discounts, so this mat ships free. Orders below €75 have a €25 delivery charge.

How long does delivery take?

Orders are handled within 2 working days. Allow up to 7 working days for delivery after dispatch within 2 working days.

Is express delivery available?

Yes. Express delivery is an optional paid upgrade at €25 on any order.

How do I know my order has shipped?

Every order is tracked. We email you the tracking number once the parcel ships.

I have not received my order yet. Is it lost?

Check your tracking link first, as items in one order may arrive in separate parcels. If you are still worried, email theteam@customersupport.care and we will look into it.

Do I get a receipt?

Yes. A receipt is emailed to you after payment, and a second email with your tracking number follows when the order ships.

Can I return the mat if I change my mind?

Yes, within 15 days of purchase. It must be in its original packaging with proof of purchase, and you pay the return postage. Irish and EU law also give you 14 days from delivery to withdraw from an online purchase.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes. Orders can be cancelled free of charge before they are dispatched.

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept card payments through Stripe, and PayPal.

Do you have a shop I can visit?

No. Outdoor Sports Company Ireland is an online store only, with no physical shop.

How to set up and use a golf hitting mat at home

5 min read Outdoor Sports Company

Why practise on a mat at all

Golf rewards repetition. Grooving a swing takes hundreds of balls, and hundreds of balls at a driving range add up quickly. A mat at home lets you hit those balls on a wet Tuesday evening, in the garage or the back garden, without booking a bay.

A good mat gives you a steady, repeatable surface. That is the point. You can work on one thing, such as ball position or the low point of your swing, and know that any change you feel comes from you and not from a bad lie.

What a mat cannot do

Every shot from a mat is from a flat, even lie. The course is not like that. Golfers who only practise on mats often find the first few holes harder than the range.

So use the mat for technique and repetition, and still get some practice on real grass when you can. The two work well together.

What to look for in a golf mat

Turf depth and feel

The turf should be close to the texture and resistance of fairway grass. Too thin and the club bounces. This mat uses a 16mm synthetic turf, which is deep enough for the club to work through the ball when you hit down on it.

What sits underneath

The base matters more than most people think. Hit down on thin turf over concrete and the club stops, which jars the hands and wrists. A rubber backing absorbs that shock and grips the floor so the mat stays put between shots.

Tees that match your clubs

Practice is more useful when you can tee the ball at the height you use on the course. This set includes a rubber tee and nine plastic tees in three heights:

  • 38mm for irons and low profile woods, with the ball barely above the turf.
  • 70mm for mid range woods, where you want the ball sitting up but still swept away.
  • 83mm for the driver, to catch the ball on the way up.

The rubber tee is the one to use for long sessions of driving practice.

Size and space

Measure the space before you buy. Check the mat size in the product photos, and if the fit is tight, email us and we will confirm it.

Setting up your practice space

Check the height first

A full swing indoors needs more ceiling height than most garages have. Take a slow practice swing with your longest club before you set anything up. If the club gets close to the ceiling, stick to wedges and short irons indoors.

Give the ball somewhere to go

Full shots in a garden need a net. Pointing the mat away from the house, the neighbours and the windows sounds obvious, and it is still where most home setups go wrong. For short game work, a mat paired with a chipping net is the setup most people end up using.

Pick a flat, firm spot

Lay the mat on flat, firm ground. On concrete the rubber base does the work. On grass the mat beds in and stays still.

Getting more from each session

  • Practise little and often. Twenty focused minutes three times a week does more than one long session a month.
  • Work on one thing at a time. Pick a single goal for the session, such as a steady tempo or a cleaner strike.
  • Change clubs and tee heights. Move from wedge to mid iron to driver so the mat covers your whole bag.
  • Pay attention to the feel. A heavy shot should feel heavy. Use that feedback rather than hitting on autopilot.

Looking after the mat

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

Move your tee position around by a few centimetres, and turn the mat end for end every few weeks. Those two habits spread the wear and keep the surface even for longer.

Brush the pile back up when it looks flat. Hose off mud and let the mat dry flat. Store it flat, or rolled with the turf facing out. Never fold it, because the rubber backing will keep the crease.

If you are leaving it outside, bring it in for the worst of the Irish winter. Cold, wet weather is hard on any mat, and a dry garage or shed will keep it in better shape for next season.

For clubs, coaches and schools

A mat and a set of tees make a simple practice station for group sessions. If you need several mats for a club, school or coaching programme, ask for a quote on our wholesale page.
