A putting mat should fit the floor you can keep clear. An 8-foot mat that stays within reach will get more use than a 13-foot mat buried in a closet.

Measure the full footprint, including room for your stance. Then decide whether you want a cup, automatic return, or printed drill targets.

Why these four

  • Perfect Practice Rollback is an 8-foot lane with an automatic return. Check current stock before buying.
  • PUTT-A-Bout Par Three is a wider 3-by-9-foot green with three cups. It needs more floor width and has no automatic return.
  • PuttOUT Large needs about 12 by 2.2 feet. Choose it for the printed distances and targets, not for a built-in return.
  • Wellputt 13ft is made for alignment and pace drills. It has no physical cup.

Before you buy

  • Measure length and width with room to stand naturally.
  • Check the backing against your floor and read the storage instructions.
  • Ignore features you will not use. A simple mat that stays flat is enough for most short-putt practice.

Where to start

Pick the Perfect Practice Rollback if you want an 8-foot lane and automatic return. Choose PUTT-A-Bout for a wider, simple layout. PuttOUT and Wellputt need more permanent floor space and suit golfers who will use their printed drills.
