Improve your game by practicing on your New Country Club Elite® Real Feel Golf Mat® All year long – at home, in your own backyard, garage, shed, or basement.
Dear Fellow Golfer,
You’ve probably seen a lot of the garbage (literally) that the big retail golf stores are trying to pass off as golf mats. Most of these companies actually use the scrap from football fields or discontinued artificial turf products – chop them down into small mats – put them in glossy 4-color boxes – and try to pass them off as golf mats. Most of these products were not designed to take the repetitive impact of a golf club and tear up within a few weeks.
I started manufacturing high end commercial driving range mats back in 2000 utilizing patented fiber blends and in-house tufting technology combining heavy duty mono-filament (fishing line) fibers (at that time US Patent # US6106921 A).
In 2005 after listening to PGA professionals demand for a better golf mat – something more realistic and easier on the body to hit off of, I developed the Country Club Elite® Golf Mat and introduced it at the PGA show in January 2006. It was “the first mat that could take a real tee” and drew a lot of attention. The Country Club Elite® Mat was also overwhelmingly well received that year at the National Golf Industry Show in Atlanta Georgia.
The buzz about the product was overwhelming and word spread like the old commercial “I’ll tell 2 friends” … “I’ll tell 2 friends. My sincere thanks to Top Teaching Professional Mike Bender and PGA President Jack Connelly who helped get the ball rolling over 9-years ago.
The internet has also been extremely helpful allowing me to bring the industries best golf mats directly to you, so that you can buy the best golf practice mats direct from the manufacturer for your specific needs.

I had Given Up Hope… Until I Saw The Country Club Elite® Golf Mat
Dear Mr. McGrath,
It was my pleasure to meet you at this years PGA show. Thank you so much for your help with our custom MEGSA Mats and also introducing me to your new Country Club Elite Mats. As you know we run multiple golf academies and have been looking for an acceptable synthetic hitting turf option for years. I had given up hope until seeing your product. It provides a true feel with true results especially on a “fat-shot”. We plan on installing your product at two of our academies this year with more to come. Best wishes for your continued success.
Sincerely,
Mike Bender

The Golf Mat Has Surpassed All My Expectations
A little over a year ago I invested in one of your Golf Mats. The product has surpassed all my expectations and then some. Being a retired person affords me the opportunity of using the mat almost daily hitting several hundred balls at each session. The mat shows zero wear even though I have not rotated it. My sincere thanks and congratulations for giving the golfing public such a marvelous training aid. Continued success with your mats.
Although Being The First Golf Mat That Takes A Real Tee® was what initially attracted attention (the sizzle) — The 'Real Feel' when hitting irons and wedges has proven to be the biggest benefit (the steak).
If you ever hit irons off of a Driving Range Mat you know that a “fat shot” will look better off of a typical driving range mat than it ever will on the fairway. This is because the club will bounce and slide across the top of most mats giving false results – especially to fat shots. This is commonly referred to as the “drop-kick” effect problem that most mats have.
Most golf mats use a rubber tee of a predetermined height forcing you to adjust to it. The New Country Club Elite® Real Feel Long Dense Fiber System-TM Takes a Real Tee® allowing you to choose and vary your tee height for various clubs. Rubber tees can obstruct your club-head at the point of impact giving you a different feel than you get hitting off of a real tee.
Swing Down and Through® — Without The Bounce Other Mats Have
Country Club Elite®Real Feel Golf Mats®’ Long-Dense-Fiber-System solves the “fat shot problem” most mats have. The Long Dense Fiber System approximates the feel of a lush fairway. If you hit down on the ball properly the club passes freely allowing you to Swing Down and Through® the top fibers of the mat with True Divot Action®.
However, you will feel the difference on a “fat shot” because if you go to deep the Long-Dense-Fiber-System will slow the club head down as if you’ve taken a deep divot or “chunked” a shot.
Because the fibers are so long and dense they absorb and dissipate the blow for immediate and realistic feedback at the point of impact AND ELIMINATES THE PROBLEMATIC “BOUNCE” OF MOST MATS.
The Country Club Elite’s® Long Dense Fiber System is specifically designed to absorb the blow of a golf-shot as true fairway would providing the most realistic feel that a synthetic turf golf mat can.
With a typical golf mat the club would “bounce” on the mat for an unnatural feel and false results. Country Club Elite® Real Feel Golf Mat® is made from unique “spring-set” grass like fibers that move, absorb, and dissipate the downward blow of a golf-shot simulating the feel of taking a divot.
Since the Fiber system is so long it actually lets you Swing down and through® the ball so you can practice proper “Ball-Turf” impact which dictates the quality of a golf shot – Better practice means better results.
Country Club Elite® Real Feel Golf Mats® give you a true feel so that you know if you have struck the ball fat, thin, or just right.
This is a brand new and revolutionary design for a golf mat. The unique Long Dense Fiber System incorporates spring-set heavy denier mono-filament grass fibers packed in so tightly that it can even hold a real wooden tee. The Long Dense Fiber is bonded to 5/8″ thick polyethylene foam using a specially engineered urethane stabilizing layer. The foam is designed to for added dimensional stability (As opposed to just using the turf itself). The secret of Country Club Elite® Golf Mat is the combination of these three components resulting in the best golf mat available anywhere. When The Country Club Elite® Real Feel Golf Mat® is struck during a golf-shot the fibers will absorb and dissipate the blow as if taking a divot. However, if you hit a “fat” shot the fibers will duplicate the resistance you would feel “chunking” some real sod.
Encourages Effective Ball Striking
Your J.R. Mat has been a pleasure to use. Because of the depth of the artificial turf, I can practice on my deck without any problem or feeling of hurting my left elbow. I can hit down on the ball, thus encouraging effective ball striking.
It has been a joy to practice and get some good exercise without a trip to the driving range.
Thank you for making such a great product that makes it fun to practice.

The Golf Mat is Just As Advertised – Works Great
Hi Jay,
We received the mat and it is just as advertised. Works great. Thanks! We would like to order a second one now that we see that the product is as high quality as it is. Please process another order for another 5×5 mat.
I’ve been using my new mat it’s AMAZING. (the Other guys fell apart)
Starting last year I decided that during the winter I was going to hit golf balls into a net down in my basement for a minimum of 15 minutes per day to stay prepared for the next season. I bought a mat for $59 thinking that this mat, which was fairly thick would serve me for several years and give me a fairly true feel of hitting the ball from the fairway. The first problem was with that much use the mat started coming apart and I had to replace it the first winter. The second problem was that I could not tell when I hit the ball fat because the mat unlike natural turf allowed the club to slide across it. Your mat allowed me to feel when I hit the ball fat because it slowed down my club much like natural turf. I can also hit down on the ball with your mat without worrying about damaging the mat. That mat is durable. I’ve used it for a few weeks now and cannot detect any wear. I’m practicing better and more productively.
Thanks,
Andre Groves

Choose the golf mat size that’s right for you
SIZING HINTS // If you want to hit driver we recommend a 5’mat in the heel-to-toe direction (3’x5′,4’x5, 5×5′). Most golf driving ranges use a 5′x5′ range mat. My daughter is 8-years old and 4′ – 2″ tall (today) – She can hit every club in her bag off of the 3′x4′. The advantage of a square mat is that you can rotate it and hit off of all 4 sides to increase the mats’ life.Also, if you want to hit to various targets a larger mat will let you shift your stance on top of the mat more easily.

5-Star Reviews by Verified Customers:
“Best quality and most realistic mats on the market. (More expensive than other types, but worth it.) Feels like hitting off of a perfect lie, and it buffers the impact of the bounce. That makes hitting a lot of practice balls very easy on your body’s joints.” – Kent D. 12-26-2020
“I have been using the Country Club Elite Mats now for nearly three years in my indoor teaching studio. In my opinion, these mats are the best on the market today. Their performance is outstanding. Golfers may complain about having to hit off other inferior mats, but I never get complaints about the Country Club Elite Mats. When golfers hit fat shots, the club digs into the mat instead of bouncing off the mat (just as a club would dig into the ground outside) and my TrackMan launch monitor shows a loss of distance. The surface is so good that they are ideal for both hitting full iron shots as well as short pitches and chips.” – Mark Polich, Mark Polich Golf 03-02-2020
Sizing Tips: 3×4 & 4×4 golf mats will not allow most golfers to hit driver – these are great for chipping, pitching and hitting irons. If you want to hit driver you typically need 5′ in the heel-to-toe direction. Example 3×5, 4×5, 5×5 (the typical driving range mat is 5×5 for example).

5-Star Reviews By Verified Customers:
“Real Feel Is The Real Deal – As an instructor, typical golf mats are hard on the elbows. I lay this strip next to the range mat to hit off of. The feel is incredible and the impact on the elbows is significantly reduced. When hitting hundreds of balls this mat is the difference maker!” Doug M. (NJ, United States) 2-23-21
“I’ve been looking for a hitting strip that provides a bit more forgiveness. Most consumer level mats are just too hard. This mat is thick. It can support a regular tee. It also lets me hit down and through. It moves very little considering it’s just a strip. This mat is very well made and the price is just right. It’s so good, I’m ordering the 4 x 5 mat.” Frank C. 3-17-2020
“I am a club fitter; and I have them outside each and every day and night. You may find cheaper, but you’ll never find better!!!” Bill Marshall, AGCP Certified club Fitter 12-21-19

The Perfect Practice Mats For Our Training School
Hi Jay,
I did a lot of research looking for the perfect mats for our indoor training center at our golf school. After narrowing my choices to a few companies, it was your testimonials that convinced me to go with your product. After using the mats for over 3 months, I too am a believer and find it necessary to provide my own testimonial. We use the mats every day regardless of weather as we perform all video analysis indoors hitting through 12′ X 12′ garage doors. Not only do they provide a realistic feel, they still look brand new and we haven’t even rotated them yet.
Thanks for making such a great product and best wishes for continued success.

I Can Hit Off These Golf Mats All Day Without My Hands and Wrists Getting Sore
Before The Golf Learning Center got your Country Club Elite Golf Mats I couldn’t practice much because my hands would get sore. Now I can hit off of the mats all day without my hands and wrists getting sore.

In Side-By-Side Test Country Club Elite Wins Hands Down
Jay,
In the spring of 2007 we ordered one of your Country Club Elite Mats along with one True Strike Golf Mat and one Fiberbuilt Golf Mat. My Members hit off of the three test mats for the full 2007 season and I’m happy to tell you that your mats won the side by side member test hands down.
My members really like the feel of the hitting surface and love the fact that they can use their own tees in it.
Enclosed is the order for 20 more units of your mat system for our range.
Thanks,

Put to the Test Members want more Country Club Elite Mats to keep their swings grooved through the winter months
Jay, after putting your Country Club Elite Mat to the test I would like to order some more (order enclosed). We purchased one of your Country Club Elite Mats this past spring and my members have hit off of it for most of the season. The membership is very pleased with the product and insisted that I order more for theoff-season so that they can take advantage of the warm spells and practice their swings. Thanks for putting out such a great product.
