GoSports Elite Golf Hitting Mats for Indoor/Outdoor Practice – Choose Size – Turf Driving Range Mats for Golf Simulators and Practice

After considering many other, significantly more expensive options, I chose this one and couldn't be happier. It feels very durable and well-made, with a nice feel. It hasn’t caused any stiffness or joint pain and has been incredibly helpful during practice. The 5x5 size provides plenty of hitting space, and you can rotate it as certain sections wear down. It also lays flat quickly after use. Highly recommend!

Used for 2 seasons so far and seems to be holding up good. I leave outside and use with my launch monitor. Haven’t had any elbow issues so it must be soft enough. You certainly wear grooves into it but no faster than an expensive mat. I think it is a great mat for this price range

I don't write reviews for free anymore but I thought with this one I could alleviate some confusion. You may be shopping for a golf hitting mat and noticing wall to wall awkward pictures, poorly photoshopped images that resemble people hitting golf balls that leave you wondering how much space an actual person swinging an actual club takes up, and they're punctuated with useless reviews like "I just got one for my husband and he thinks it will work great."Well, lady, luckily you're right. The GoSports elite 5' octagonal golf hitting mat is pro quality. High class, nice feeling turf that's deep enough to bury your thumb up to the first knuckle sits on a heavy 15mm mat, and it's plenty large enough to hit all the clubs from. (In fact, I chose this one because it had an actual picture of an actual golfer holding an actual driver standing on the mat, because it was a real concern that my heels would be hanging off or something.) There's 8 holes to place the tees, one at each corner, and they're placed well to swing a driver. With shorter clubs you can hit balls comfortably almost from the center.I saw that I could have easily spent twice what I did on a hit mat and I wonder how those could possibly be better, the turf on the GoSports is genuinely lux and forgiving. I can tell when I hit a thick shot but it doesn't bury my club and suddenly stop my swing like on the affordable courses I usually play. I've hit a couple hundred balls so far with zero issues and zero signs of wear, am looking forward to using this for a few years at least if I take care of it and keep it out of the weather. A+PS it comes folded, there's a big red sign that says "crease will disappear!" Obviously people freak out about the crease so they put a big red sign to soothe your fears, and, yes, it does disappear completely in a few days.

I’ve had this mat for a few weeks now, and for the price, it’s an excellent product. The base is sturdy and doesn’t slide around when hitting shots, and the overall weight and feel are high quality.However, I did notice that after hitting irons, the back of the club picks up green dust—likely from the paint or surface material. It’s not a major issue, but it would be great if the mat didn’t leave residue. It also sheds a fair amount of green fuzz, so I usually have to run the vacuum cleaner after using it.

I bought the 5x5 octagon elite series and was certainly skeptical with how low cost it was. I’ve had it for a few weeks now and hit a couple hundred maybe over a thousand balls by now. I have had no wear marks so far and I have to say the quality is impressive. For sure it is not the same quality as a 1,500$ mat however it works very well. It is super lightweight and moveable yet it won’t slide when you’re hitting. I have hit some fat shots and haven’t hurt myself or gotten sore so I feel that it absorbs those shots well. I also think it’s pretty responsive for the price point, obviously with good shots it feels good. I also think with slightly fat shots it resounds appropriately too it slows down the ball speed on my launch monitor but still allows the ball to fly as it would on real turf. I would definitely buy it again and honestly I’d pay more for it if I had too.

I got this for my sim I built about 5 months ago. I wanted to wait to review until it went through heavy use to see if it holds up, it does. I would typically hit 4-5 days per week averaging 100-150 shots a day. I used it for 5 months and it's still in excellent shape. Rough estimate would be over 10,000 shots minimum.This is a high-quality mat that protects your wrists. I highly recommend getting the PRO version, as the bottom impact foam is much thicker than the standard. This is worth every bit of extra money as you don't want to injure your wrists. Hitting a bad chuck or taking a deep divot was very smooth and the mat handles it very well.Durability was great, there was a very subtle mat sink from your feet, but I would just rotate the mat and it would even itself out over time. This is completely normal for these mats, and maybe only a super expensive one does not have this slight issue.The artificial turf is very durable and holds in place well after tons of iron shots directly off the mat.It does come shipped folded in the center, but the crease will go away after a bit of use. Not an issue for me personally.

Perfect for our small “at home” range. Just as nice as the mats at our local ranges and doesn’t break the bank. I got the 5x4 15mm and it feels nice sitting on the concrete pad we have set up. I’ve probably hit 3-400 wedges so far and no permanent mark yet.

This cost more but the thickness and material is worth it. I have hit and not showing any signs of wear.
