PuttOut Medium Putting Mat Review: A Green in the Hall?
A roll-out putting mat about eight feet long with distance markings, alignment lines and ghost holes. Winter practice that fits a hallway.
Yes, for golfers who want to practice putting at home through winter. The mat rolls medium-fast at 9 to 11 on the stimp with markings to six feet [1]. Skip it if you have no long flat floor space.

Pros and cons
- Needs about eight feet of floor
- No hole or ball return on its own
- Pricier than generic mats
Carpet is a bad green
Living room carpet has grain, seams and soft spots. Putts wobble and break for no reason. A proper mat gives a consistent roll every time, which is what makes home practice worth doing.
PuttOut says practicing putting is the quickest way to lower scores, and the mat is the base for it [1].
It also helps golfers who travel for work. Rolled in its tube, it moves to a hotel room or an office without much fuss.
Speed, markings and backing
The surface is pile-cut nylon on a rubber back, rated 9 to 11 on the stimp for a smooth, medium-fast roll [1]. It lies flat right out of the packaging [1].
It measures 7.9 by 1.6 feet and is printed with distance markings up to six feet [1]. Alignment lines, pace targets and ghost holes turn it into a drill board, with or without other aids [1].
It ships in a dense cardboard tube, which keeps it crease-free between sessions [1].
Floor space and a missing hole
You need a clear strip of floor about eight feet long. Small apartments may struggle to leave it out.
The mat has ghost holes printed on it, not a real cup. Many golfers add a target like the PuttOut trainer for feedback on made putts.
Pets and kids find a putting mat irresistible, so expect balls to roll under the couch. It is part of the fun at home.
The home green bundle
From this guide, the PuttOut Pressure Putt Trainer sits at the end of the mat and sends good putts back to you. Together they cost less than many all-in-one putting greens.
Roll it out in a hallway on Christmas morning with a few balls on it. It is the kind of gift that gets tried before breakfast.
Store it back in its tube when guests come over to keep the surface smooth.
