The best indoor putting greens - tested & ranked

That Prime Putt mat looks superb 👌

[@davidree2858]

I've tried a couple of these mats. the problem I find is the material used isn't heavy enough to pull the creases out? (although the last one didn't seem to have that issue). I just use an old fashioned putting return machine. if it ain't broke..

[@JGEyeDoc]

I have have the prime putt for about 6 months amazing bit of kit

[@brianlhenaff383]

I've had the perfect practice mat for 3 yrs, love it. Mat sat flat after a couple days & even after rolling it up in storage for 3 months when we moved, it was just as good.

[@warrenstresing3366]

Thank you for the great comparison video.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Cheers warren

[@Weshopwizard]

Something about golfing in the fog is very pleasing.

[@newsbluestv3163]

Andy, maybe a trip to a good qualtiy astra turf shop, the type that provide the kit to build outdoor putting/chipping greens. An off cut from their greens quality turf, would be similar to the favourite on the video. At least you can cut holes where you want, holes at each end maybe, and increase the length to fit the room you want to use it in. Just a thought Andy. I recon it might work out cheaper too.

[@David1131955]

An interesting and useful review of what's available.

[@gregoryrobak456]

I have the medium PuttOut mat, I unroll in the Kitchen to practice and immediately roll back up to store until I use it again. No issues with creases, lays perfectly flat each time and rolls true. The large mat would allow you to stand on the mat while putting, but I've found no issue standing off the mat with the medium version. I think for the price you can't beat it, PuttOut and local US retailers have frequent sales. If I were to have a permanent setup in a dedicated area, I'd look at the more premium mats, but for how I'm using the mat, PutOut works perfectly fine.

[@boobtubeotaku]

I have the PuttOUT slim, perfect to take anywhere and fit in tight spaces…absolutely love it

[@mikec.2314]

Winter in Canada relies on indoor putting after dinner to stay sane. I love my PuttOut mat with its slopey ball return hole thingy. I leave it out on our wood flooring (with wife approval of course) so its always nice and flat. Rolls great and true. Plus the slopey hole return thingy is a cool reward..... make the putt and the ball rolls back to you. Miss and you gotta go get it. Recommended.

[@jdholdgate]

Love that my buddy has a prime putt and a i can choose different lines on different holes with a sleeves worth of different hole options

[@Helloelisha]

From a wife’s perspective, I’m loving how sleek the PrimePutt mat looks in comparison to the others. Obviously I want to get the best out there for hubby to practice, but I also want to make sure it’s something we’d be okay leaving out without looking sloppy. It’s probably the turf from PrimePutt that elevates it versus the raggedy carpet with breaks. I’m sure it’s what makes practicing better, too. Christmas gift shopping is finally complete!

[@craig3775]

Good selection Andy, I still reckon waterproofs and a par 3 course is the way forward

[@bekingulube2689]

WellPutt mats are really great. Come with an app with lots of training games. Roll very true and have different speeds rolling putts from one end to the other.

[@amosshearer1137]

And zero effort to get them rolled out flat

[@marybetheby5184]

Yeah,those are nice.

[@timdench2583]

Another WellPutt user here. It’s a good mat with well thought out features

[@mikeperks1175]

What type of putter are you using AVG?

[@marybetheby5184]

Pretty sure that's a LAB putter he's had awhile.

[@andrewevans4841]

Hi Andy. Great review. Really enjoyed it 👍👍

[@GusEathorne]

The mats are frustrating when they end up with bumps & hollows.. we just use the carpet. Regrds Gus ChristchurchNew Zealand

[@marybetheby5184]

Those are intolerable..

[@forsub-ps6ld]

That looks sick I need to get one

[@simonwhitelegg8489]

Just too late to sway my choices for Christmas Andy. I have already gone and bought a Wellputt 3m/10ft mat and a Puttout Pressure Trainer. The mat has all the markings you wished for, and the Puttout does return your ball (to an extent). But I don't get to actually try them out until Xmas Day! Fingers crossed for a decent pairing.

[@joeldowey2410]

I use puttout slim mat and love it. Rolls up perfect and no issue when unrolling. Runs about 10 on the stimp.

[@SamanRajpoot-cv4zc]

Nice work on this one

[@bentottle917]

I've got a puttout carpet, agree re bumps, unless permanently out. I use my striped bedroom carpet with a puttout pressure putt trainer and when I'm feeling lazy I use the Odyssey Cordless KickBack All Ball Return Putting Practice Cup. I was genuinely excited when I realised what you were reviewing 😂😂

[@talhajan8710]

Agreed completely, if you want to improve your game dont cheap out on the materials

[@matthiasbroek8055]

Great video. I have the worst Mat you tested, we keep it rolled out so it did flatten out somewhat and one have to make sure the end is level. Still not a big fan of the bill at the end. It’s real go log for your aim and not so much speed. I like the last mat you tested but would like to see cups without la lip so one can experience the same swirl outs one has at a real green.

[@JR-xn4gl]

Timely review as winter is beginning to hint at its appearance and the weather doesn’t invite much access to the driving range. Also appreciated the forthright assessments of each mat. I’m currently toying with a PuttOut and it’s providing enough frustration to warrant thinking there’s something to the claims made for it. Continue to love the new “approach”.

[@shannyfoo]

I’ve got a PuttOut mat & its brilliant. No creases & easily rolled up to store away. Also got markers on it. Only downside is that it doesn’t have a putting cup. You but it separately

[@ramonebedi]

Where do you get prime putt from in the UK?

[@dougswist7547]

Have you tried birdie ball? The pro version is good.

[@Its1Vickson]

Great content as always man!

[@paulbrogger655]

"And finally, the most expensive option (but certainly the most satisfying) by far is . . . "

[@RMGolfing]

Ive got the perfect putting one and its great once the matt settles down and the creases drop out or you can iron it just once and it will be much better. Give it another chance

[@adrianmarkham2457]

Agreed, I have the same one and you need to iron it (I think the instructions say that). He didn't give it much of a chance!

[@wks4511]

The PrimePutt looks to be the only one worth buying.

[@JB-ob2gj]

I’ve had the original Putt out mat for years, very good mat.

[@andrewsmith6205]

Forb putting mat is excellent, rolls out flat every time so can be put away, worth a look.

[@MichaelP11]

Love the new format

[@bhughes1986]

My winter plan is all about gaining strength. Compound lifts: Squat, Bench, OHP, Row, Deadlift.

[@VonTwinzig]

Putt-out mat system for me. Fast flat mat and two hole targets, the smallest of which can get get inside your head if you let it. I’ve got the mirror and gates too, which really help groove your putting. The thing with this bit of kit is it keeps growing. Devil Ball for me next.

[@hsg7938]

That turf looks legit

[@scottzimmerman5182]

I have 2 lengths of indoor/outdoor carpet from the home store (in my case, Menards in the US). I put the 2 lengths end to end and sealed the seam underneath with duct tape. So I have a 20 x 4 surface that rolls true and is fine to roll up for a few days if I want to get it out of the way. I just cut circles of index card weight card stock to the size of the holes. I also have a putt out that I use. It rolls pretty fast (maybe 9/10 stimp). On the basement floor where there is slope for water to drain I can get a break of a ball or 2 over 20 feet. I think the 4x10 lengths cut from the big roll were $40 each. So, maybe $100 or $110 including the putt out. I use it multiple times a week. Good solution. I can even take it on the driveway in nice weather and practice putts with more slope.

[@paulbrogger655]

I just found a used "PUTT-A-BOUT Par Three Golf Putting Green" at a thrift (2nd hand) store -- $5 rather than the retail ~$40. It's heavy, lies flat, and my 6yo grandson & I have found its value FAR exceeds either price! Only 9 ft x 30 inches, but we've invented games to make short-putt precision practice actually interesting. (Different-colored balls in various holes, knocking down each others' chess pieces, etc.) Maybe my best golf-related purchase so far, from an entertainment value perspective.

[@spudbuchanan9584]

Well done!

[@eddiegolf]

I use a 20 foot outdoor carpet that has a rubber backing. It putts at about a 10,it never gets any creases on it and I can putt much longer putts than those expensive matts. The only down side is it's not green. Mine is golden yellow. 😂

[@JeffreyOsman-i4y]

So tired of cheap mats that don't translate into results on the green. Would love to get my hands on that prime mat!

[@KBeadle]

I've got the perfect practice mat and I store it with the carpet hanging down the back of my wardrobe so that when I lay it down on our wooden floor its perfectly flat, and I mean like a snooker table

[@curtchaffee]

Oddly, I have never struggled with putting and frankly, not put much time into practice. If you watched me putt you would think I was a six handicap. If you watched the rest of my game you would wonder why I keep at it. So my $ would definitely be better aimed toward a 12 yr old scotch and/or a decent golf simulator.

[@marybetheby5184]

😂😂😂

[@pbode1]

Hold on... Has the LAB putter returned? I thought you had ditched it because it handles so differently with all other putters you test? (Which is indeed very true as I can testify with my own mezz max)

[@bund440]

I brought a mate from Putt out brilliant

[@DonAl9114]

The very best way to overcome the winter is to travel to South Africa and play all the courses throughout the country. By the time you have finished, the winter in Europe will be over. But seriously, living there is fairly cheap for people from Europe and the green fees are ridiculous in comparison to the UK or elsewhere in Europe. 😎😎😎👍🏻

[@briarmeadow]

i have a 12' long hallway carpet runner that is very flat and fast and is wide enough to stand on to provide same level putting for feet and ball. i can move it around the floor to provide some minor change in break. I have two favorite targets i place at the end, a PUTT-OUT and a small ceramic coaster. The goal with the round ceramic coaster is to hit it squarely with the ball so the ball will go up and over the coaster rather than being deflected to the side. I use them year round. Very helpful for keeping the putter in tune. For the swing, I have an Orange Whip I use for full swings and trying to keep some flexibility and feel over the winter. I'm adding some speed stix for this winter to see if i can increase my swing speed as the years are catching up with me. I would like to have a hitting net, but currently don't have a good place for it.

[@LAGGEDnLOADED]

The two mats that I've really liked are the BirdieBall "mat" (not sure if it's available in the UK) and the PuttOut mat.

[@jamesmac62]

It's gotten too cold here in Maine to play golf, so I've ordered a golf simulator. It hasn't arrived yet. At least I'll be able to practice my swing. It was on sale for black Friday and was under $200. I also have an almost identical putting mat to the one you have that returns the ball to you. I enjoy it, but it's not anything like putting on a green.

[@Ron-hj1or]

Well , i had today rain, hail and windforce 9 , Course was mud but at the end i had a fresh nose😂

[@motodiaries8204]

I use and love Birdie Ball putting greens. They're a bit pricey but they feel and roll like a real putting green. Can't recommend them enough!

[@HorseRacingLegends]

Just use your carpet as all greens are different in Grass and Speed.Nobody putts like this when a Scorecard is in their hand.

[@grahamwilcox4027]

Puttout mat and pressure putt trainer works well, going to give Me and My Golf Breaking Balls a try this Winter both inside and outside.

[@manuelpolitis7123]

I had a Birdie Ball green for a few years I forget what I payed for it. But it seems to be far superior to what you have shown

[@ianburton9223]

For several years I used an EXPUTT mat with the putting simulator software offering ball roll and putter face data. It was around $500 dollars so maybe a tiny bit more expensive. But in terms of challenge and feedback it was light years ahead of any of these products. I have not heard anything recently about this product, but it was a massive help to me over three winters and needed only a 9 foot length of non-carpeted flat floor facing a television and good overhead diffused lighting. I never had any problem rolling up the mat after each session and the detector head was just left in place to the side of the television. For me it ticked all the boxes and will be coming out of the the under-stairs cupboard for this winter - five years after initial purchase.

[@Blackhorseveteran]

You got to roll those up backwards until they flatten out...if they ever do..lol I think a carpet inside the house is just as effective.

[@roberthall5036]

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but my practice putting cost me zero pounds. It consists of my already laid carpet and an empty coffee jar. Nice video Andy but that sort of money is just not worth it and I think many golfers would soon tire of it.

[@mrbroeders]

Not being funny here but you could go down to any carpet provider, get an offcut and practice on that. Probably flatter than these and a hell of a lot cheaper

[@bloggs730]

£300 is expensive for artificial grass. Could you just buy a few meters from the garden centre? Great video by the way

[@kyleleskiw5644]

Birdie ball all the way. It's the best by miles

[@stuartnicklin4101]

Some poor attempts there , and silly prices...how about some carpet offcut from the local carpet store 1mtrx 4mtr cut a hole or two ...£30 max .

[@danielcorrigan6998]

Those looks like crap. I bought a steel ruler and a digital level. I make sure the ruler has 0.0 deg break just work on hitting short straight putts. Those are the most important ones anyway.

In all honest, the best surface has been a large rug that we have in our living room. It is flat, replicates a stimp of around 8-9 and my wife doesn't complain about that 'horrid green thing' in our living room. I mean lets face it, that was what most of us used as kids growing up.
