GoSportsTri-Turf XL Golf Practice Hitting Mat - Huge 24 Inch x 24 Inch for Optimal Practice

This is great for backyard practice. Easy to store or can be left in place. Simulates different lies! Recommend!

I wish the local driving ranges would use something like this with 3 variations of synthetic grass that golfers can use to practice (local driving ranges only have a single variation for the mats they use). It's also small enough that you can easily carry it. I bought this for my son-in-law since he has some acreage where he can practice and doesn't need to go to a driving range. If I had the area, I would definitely buy one for my personal use.

Good: The grass definitely mimics fairway and rough. I have a rapsodo setup behind my shots to check distances and there is easily a 5 yard loss in distance when hitting from the rough vs the fairway. It's super portable for when I want to put it away or move it around, folds up easy and folds out the same.In Between: As you can see in the picture the fairway portion is missing a bit of grass. According to my rapsodo I have hit just over 1000 shots. Although not all have been off the fairway portion, likely 750+ have been since I can't hit driver or woods in my garage with the ceiling height what it is. I wouldn't truly put this as a negative because for the price of $60, 750 shots and I can still hit around that area (even though it's getting bigger and bigger), seems like it's doing well. Just to compare vs the range, $10 for 80 balls, that's 12.5 buckets for $125 vs $60 for the mat. I have probably 300-400 more shots I can do on the fairway before it's unhittable, and then can move over to the rough area for quite a few more. That's minimally $175 worth of range balls I will have been able to hit in my garage and didn't even have to leave home. Seems like a pretty good overall for the price.Negatives: There are a couple, the mat does move when I hit and need to move it back into place so it's the right distance away from my Rapsodo. This isn't a huge deal and would be less so if I hit from the section where I would be using a tee. It's about every other shot depending on how much turf I catch on the swing. The second thing is the height. It sits about 3/8" off the ground, so to be true to being on a fairway, you are technically shortening your clubs by that, which can really throw someone off when they go to the real course and thin a lot of shots. The tee section is higher for obvious reasons and should only be used with a tee. I have placed a 4' x 6' horse barn mat to stand on next to it. It matches up flush with the mat and also gives a bit more traction than my normal garage floor. Plus if I put the ball close to the edge it still gives me a consistent contact.All in all I would definitely buy this again. I would probably opt for something that is fairway only, I mean, when do I ever hit in the rough? ;)

Really happy with this item. I was really impressed with turf. Definitely Recommend

Smashed on this thing all summer/fall on my outdoor setup. Held strong and has plenty more life left in it. Was not a huge fan on the “rough” area of the grass as it doesn’t seem realistic. Outside of that, great product.

Great hitting mat. Solid construction

Only bad thing with this is that it didn’t come with side tray to use to store balls so had to buy separately so that was a little disappointing but overall product good quality

This is our second purchase of the GoSports Tri-Turf XL Golf Practice Hitting Mat. The first lasted many years. My husband plays with it constantly. Highly recommend for hours of entertainment.
