The best putting mats for at-home practice

This portable golf mat provides a precise practice tool and also a fun game to play with a friend. It's got six holes in a triangle formation on either end to aim for and comes with covers if you'd rather target just one or two; which also double as the way to play this beer-pong inspired game. The set also includes two putters and two golf balls, so you don't have to lug your own equipment around with the game.

Made for use with or without the PuttOUT Pressure Putt Trainer ($30), this roll-out practice mat has an extra thick rubber backing to ensure a smooth putting surface. It's also marked with alignment and pace targets for drills at any distance.

Great for getting kids started in the game, this green has a nylon backing to keep it in place, five wooden flags with different scores to aim for. It also comes with three wooden balls and a mini putter with an adjustable height. 

If you're missing the hazards and elements on the golf course, this practice putting mat has a mini bunker and creek to avoid. The anti-slip backing makes sure the green stays in place, and the automatic ball return carefully rolls putts back.

This indoor or outdoor putting mat has two lanes for practicing, which vary according to the level of challenge you seek. Shoot for the regulation size hole or the slightly smaller one next to it, and the gravity-fed return will send back your misses.

This large green simulation can be used indoors or out. It comes with three fixed cups—each with a flag—and one movable cup to mix up the course and customize putting sessions as you go. 

This true-roll putting surface has a Stimpmeter of about 10 or 11. The gravity ball return makes continuous putting practice easy, and you can set it up from three distances—3 feet, 5 feet and 7 feet—for guided alignment.

Another option from Maxfli, this golf mat is great for indoor or outdoor use at home. It's made with three holes and two target areas with a slightly sloped green to enhance practice and return any misses. Measuring about 3-feet by 9-feet, it's lined with a thick rubber base to keep it in place and avoid bumps.

This mat will help with 4-footers, 6-footers and 8-footers with three targets and alignment guidelines. There's an accompanying app to help with tips and tricks, which were developed in collaboration with leading coach Cameron McCormick.

This at-home putting green is available in three finishes, so you can choose a slow, medium or fast putting surfaces to replicate the type of conditions you most often play. The 4-foot wide, 10-foot long indoor practice mat's turf is about a half an inch thick for a consistent roll. It's got a hole at either end with removable mini flagsticks, so you can choose to putt with or without the pin in.
