Putting greens and putting mats for home and garden

Putting is the part of the game you can practise properly in a hallway or on a patch of lawn. An indoor putting mat gives you a true roll on the carpet, and a synthetic putting green in the garden lets you work on longer putts and chips all year.

Indoor putting mat or garden green?

An indoor putting mat is a roll-out strip, usually around 3 m long, with a cup or a ramp at the far end and often a ball return. It is ideal for short putts and start line drills in a hallway, office or living room. A garden putting green is synthetic turf laid on a prepared base, with real cups and flags, and it lets you practise longer putts with break.

What makes a putting surface good?

The roll should be even and true, with no seams or ridges that knock the ball off line. Indoors, the mat should lie flat without curling at the edges. Outdoors, the base matters more than the turf: a green laid on poorly compacted ground will settle and develop dips. Read the putting green guide for base preparation, turf choices and how to set the speed.

Frequently asked questions

How long should an indoor putting mat be?

Around 3 m covers the putts you most want to hole: the short and medium ones. If you have a long hallway, a longer mat lets you work on pace as well, but most of the benefit comes from rolling plenty of putts from 1 to 3 m.

Can I put a putting green on my lawn?

Yes, but not straight on top of the grass. A garden putting green needs the turf and topsoil removed, a compacted sub-base and a fine levelling layer before the synthetic turf goes down. Otherwise the surface will settle unevenly.
