The best putting mats to help you perfect your game on the greens
Take your putting to new heights from the comfort of your own living room.
There was once a time when the indoor putting practice broadly consisted of finding a spare bit of carpet and rolling balls at a loose cup over and over again.
More recently, however, advanced putting mats have evolved to become one of the essential training aids for golfers who want to maximise their performance on the greens without having to brave the outdoors. Improvements in materials and construction have made it easier than ever for companies to replicate the experience of putting on a real outdoor green, while coaches and short game experts have designed many of these mats with fun ways to train your accuracy and speed.
There are dozens of different brands and models of putting mats on the market in modern times, ranging from more affordable options to premium mats that cost several hundred pounds.
What we do know is that there's an effective option out there to suit just about any budget and taste, whether you want a clean and classy option for your man cave or a mat that helps you dial down harder on your line and length.
Here, then are our favourite putting mats on the market right now.
Got one of these yourself, or want to suggest another one you love using? Let us know in the comments below.

WellPutt Performance Putting Mat
Price: £129
Most avid golfers agree that WellPutt have perfected the strangely finnicky art of the putting matt with their own take on the training aid, creating a mat available in lengths of three and four metres that, while a little larger than standard putting mats, it's is full of useful prompts and feedback illustrations to help you become a better putter. It has multiple starting points and target zones, and can accommodate two way play.
The Wellputt's surface mimics the sensation of putting on a medium-fast green, and while it lacks a physical hole, the mat has an illustrated 'Good Zone' behind the printed cup, giving you an instant indicator of a good putt. It also comes with both an app and a training book packed with useful drills and tips to help you dial in both your alignment and speed.

A pretty backstop made from walnut and included with the matt does double duty as a ball holder. Ranging between £342 and £572 depending on what size you get, the PrimePutt isn't cheap. But as a stylish option for an elevated space, it's unbeatable.
