First, just to give you a reference, it might help to know most driving ranges use mats that are 5′ x 5′. Golf Practice Mats should be purchased based on your height (or the height of the tallest person who will be using it). If you have, or are planning to have a golf simulator, we recommend a 5′ x 6′ or larger.

Because of their firm surface, golf mats may scratch your golf clubs. … When it comes to practicing your swing, nothing beats hitting off real grass – and while a mat is a good substitute, it does increase the chance of you doing damage to your golf club.

It’s also important to keep in mind how hitting off a mat affects the way you hit the golf ball itself. Because you’re on a mat, rather than on grass, the club doesn’t have the ability to dig into the ground. So instead, it bounces up off the ground slightly.

A: Most driving ranges use mats that are 5′ x 5′. Buy golf practice mats based on your height (or the height of the tallest person who will be using it). If you have or are planning to have a golf simulator, we recommend at least 5′ x 5′.
