The Best Indoor Putting Green: Top 8 of 2022 Tested & Reviewed

Distance and Direction Control

The distance markings help each golfer appropriately learn distance and directional control. One of the most difficult swings in golf is putting and great golfers hit the ball true every single putt. There are two parts to a good putt, distance control, and a pure hit.

The Skillz Accelerator Pro will help you dial in the distance control from different distances. Since the stimp reading matches most putting greens you will see, you can hone in the perfect putt swing from different distances.

As part of the distance markings, the alignment piece helps you gauge whether or not your puts are truly going straight.

Portable but Don’t Roll to Tight

It comes in an easy to store box with plastic rails that click in together to finalize the roll back portion. The putting mat itself rolls up easily without interference from the rails which go out to the side.

This model is constructed with a thinner material making it easy to roll up and put back into the box. Be careful when rolling the putting mat not to make it too tight or creases will form and can be difficult to remove.

The upper part is made of thin plastic and is susceptible to crushing, avoid putting anything heavy on top of it.

Simple and Straightforward

Since the putting mat is a single piece of pet resin with a high-quality artificial turf there are a lot of bells and whistles to worry about for this putting mat. Because it is so simple, golfers may customize their own training regiment and markings to help improve their game.

There is no edge protection so balls bull roll off the mat if they are hit too fast or off-line. This mat is probably better for golfers who already have an established training regiment and are looking to remain consistent in poor weather.

Easy to Move Easy to Use

The thin design helps golfers stomach the large and longer than average length because it rolls up very tightly without damaging or compromising the construction.

The width and length don’t make it ideal for golfers with tight spaces or a putting green used in the office. If you already have a putting regiment the removal golf stops are easy to pick up and even store inside the circular Roll of the mat.

The stops act as hey model golf cups but don’t offer the same feedback as more advanced indoor golf mat systems. The lack of a ball return feature also means offers will need several balls or be willing to walk back-and-forth to hit putts.

Durable Rubber Backing

The backing is made from a top-tier rubber that keeps the putting mat firmly locked in place while you are putting. 

The mat also features a well-made putting surface with alignment guides that clearly outline the path of the putt. The lines offer an easy way for golfers to see if their putts are falling offline after impact.

For golfers who want to improve their consistency with each putt, the alignment guides offer a surefire way to create putting drills that will show advancement over time.

The putting surface on the mat is made to replicate a medium-to-fast speed green, so players will also learn distance and speed control, a great combination for those struggling with touch on mid-range putts.

Clear Distance Markings

Along with the alignment lines, the PuttPro mat also comes with distance lines to mark off putts from one foot in length to six feet.

For golfers that need help finding consistency on those tricky par putts, the distance markers allow for quick practice without worrying about the length of the putts.

Narrow and Portable

Most golf mats are roughly 3 feet wide whereas this model can be purchased in a 1.6 ft and 2.5ft width making it ideal to fit in any narrow hallway. Since it is more narrow than most other models reviewed, it is ideal for tight spaces for quick and easy storage.

The large foam insert at the end of the putting green is removable and can be stored easier. Another unique feature is a place to store your putter handle side in if you’re leaving this out long term. The artificial turf and Matt combination Rolls well without creasing or leaving folds.

Alignment Training in Tight Spaces

Because of the narrow design and alignment line on one side of the mat, this is a perfect model for those within their house apartment or garage to train their alignment putting.

The lack of distance markers means you will half to go back and mark out distances to truly understand your putting stroke.

Additionally, the removable insert near the cup surface can’t make it for true or more realistic roles instead of hitting on a minor uphill slope.

The drawback is when the insert is removed the hold depth is only the thickness of the rest of the mat.

Crystal Velvet Putting Surface

The highlight of the Perfect Practice Putting Mat 2.0 is the Crystal Velvet putting surface. The mat’s top-layer material offers playability that rivals an actual putting green.

The manufacturers have attempted to craft the mat as an honest replication of the putting experience, and after a few strokes with this product, you’ll see why a lot of golfers, both pro and amateur, feel they’ve succeeded.

The holes in the mat are elevated so when they go in the cup, the ball return track on the outer edge can roll the ball back to your position. The auto-return is solidly built and will keep the balls coming with each made putt.

Train-Track Boosts Accuracy

The middle of the mat features the Train-Track, an alignment guide, that allows golfers to see the path of their putts after impact.

For golfers utilizing a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke, the Train-Track offers a way to fine-tune the stroke while making sure that the putter returns to square at impact.

The mat features the Train-Track on the right hand side, while a measuring guide with the actual feet to the cup resides in big numbers on the left side.

When it comes time to work on putts by their distance, the mat streamlines the process and makes it incredibly easy to hit five-foot putts.

Portable Shot Variety

There are several reasons to like the Abco indoor putting green. Since the material is thinner, it roles up much easier than other thicker indoor mats.

The high-quality material used on the bottom of each mat prevents folding or creasing when storing.

Multiple cup locations cut into the mat allow for golfers to vary their shots without having to reconfigure the mat it simply requires you to get creative.

The cut-out is more shallow than other versions which remove some of the shot variety compared to the Putt-About version. Abco has created a great-sized indoor putting mat that combines portability and shot variety.

Minimal Training Tools

This indoor putting mat falls short in the training category without alignment lines or distance markings. Since the putting green is flat, it would be easy to mark distances and set up alignment sticks but this adds to the purchase cost.

The different hole locations help golfers make minor adjustments to their stroke without moving from their location.

The thinner mat material near the cup locations helps with the true roll but without a calculated stimp reading, it is hard to accurately judge the distance based on realistic green conditions.

Ideally, this mat should be used as an alignment guide to straightening out the putting stroke.
