GoSports Elite Golf Hitting Mat for Indoor and Outdoor Practice - Withstands Thousands of Shots - Heavy-Duty Turf Driving Range Mats Works with Golf Simulators - Includes 3 tees - Choose Your Size

Bought for the golf simulator.

I don’t write reviews but I had to for this golf mat. It’s been outside in the snow, rain, sun for 8 months and showing no signs of wear. I use it to chip and hit full shots with foam balls. I rotate regularly. Absolutely love the product. I love the feedback from the turf material. You can tell when a shot is hit fat. I have struggled with elbow tendinitis and it flares up from most cheap range mats. Not an issue with this one.

Love this mat. Is pretty big I am able to hit a driver while standing on it comfortably. I would suggest getting the larger one. It’s heavy duty and has been fun to use.

This thing is thick and great quality! Dropped an insert into it and it works great.

It’s a nice heavy duty padded mat but the turf is really abrasive and if your club touches it at all your loosing 20mph off you swing instantly. It just doesn’t let the club slide very well.

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!

I’ve used this mat for less than 3 weeks. Played 18 rounds with a couple friends only about 4 times. Wedges and irons have worn a hole through it already. Terrible quality. I’m very disappointed because I’ve purchased a lot of items from go sports and they’re all pretty good aside from this mat.

I looked around at a lot of options, including watching YouTube reviews for hitting mats before settling on this 5x5 elite mat. Over the past few days, I've hit a couple hundred balls off of the mat and am extremely pleased with how durable its been so far. I was expecting to see some wear in the spot where I was hitting, or some of the turf sticking to my clubs, but I didn't notice any. I assume over time it will happen, but I love that I have so much surface space that I can simply turn the mat and have a new hitting surface. While unpacking the mat, my suggestion is to not rush while folding the crease out of the mat per the instructions. I ordered one mat, and just pressed the fold over, and it looked like I tore the foam base straight down the middle where the crease was. I emailed gosport's customer support and they very quickly got back with me. I ordered a replacement mat for no extra charge through Amazon, but still played off of the first mat for a few days while I was waiting for it to ship. By 3 days in, the mat was perfectly flat and the crease had disappeared. When I received my new mat, I was more gentle about folding the crease over, and I realized that my first mat probably wasn't really that bad after all. Either way, my replacement mat has been laying flat for the past few days with some of my patio furniture laying across the crease and I don't notice the crease anymore. Additional bonus, the customer representative that I emailed offered to send me a bag of their foam balls for free just for the trouble of returning the first mat (which was very easy to do). Either way, I highly recommend this mat. I already had the gosports golf net, and I ordered the gosports golf ball tray. Pair this all with my Garmin Approach R10 and my phone casting to an apple TV that I have mounted above my deck, and I am free to play "real" virtual golf in the comfort of my own space at any time of day or night.

I've hit well over 10,000 shots off this mat and have been extremely impressed with how well it's held up. There is no significant wear or damage, especially considering the amount of use it has seen. After every 1,000–2,000 shots, I rotate the mat to spread out the wear, and I've done this about four times so far. The hitting area does compress a bit with heavy use, but it seems to rebound over time once the mat is rotated. The 5 ft x 5 ft size is ideal for this purpose, giving plenty of room to shift the hitting area and extend the life of the mat. Based on my experience, I expect it to last for many more years before needing replacement. Another thing I appreciate is that it doesn't leave any green residue on my clubs, which I've experienced with some cheaper mats. The turf is also firm enough to provide realistic feedback—fat shots feel and perform poorly, just as they would on real grass, which is exactly what you want when practicing. Overall, an excellent hitting mat that has proven to be durable and a great value for serious practice.

Best hitting mat. I love mine. Really holds up to beatings. I Just turn it 90 degrees if I need a new hitting area. If they restock it I’ll definitely buy another one.

Easy to unfoled. Look good material’s made.
