The 2 Star Golf Mat is a heavy-duty professional golf mat designed for golf courses, driving ranges, practice bays, simulators and home practice areas. Its substantial construction helps it remain stable during play while the woven polypropylene surface is designed to recreate the feel of playing from a natural fairway.
With a 15mm woven polypropylene playing surface, firm 10mm rubber crumb backing, multiple size options and a life expectancy of more than 15 years in UK conditions, the 2 Star Golf Mat is built for golfers and facilities that need dependable long-term performance.

What Is the 2 Star Golf Mat?
The 2 Star Golf Mat is a professional-quality golf practice mat designed for regular use in outdoor and indoor golf environments. It has been used on golf courses and driving ranges for many years and is built around a strong, heavy construction that helps keep it stable during play.
The playing surface consists of 15mm woven polypropylene bonded directly to a firm 10mm rubber crumb backing. This gives the mat a solid base while still providing a golf-style playing surface above.
A Professional Golf Practice Surface
The mat is suitable for professional facilities as well as home golfers who want a more substantial practice mat than a basic lightweight artificial grass product.
Built for Repeated Golf Practice
Golf mats need to handle repeated strikes in the same area. The 2 Star Golf Mat is designed for frequent use on driving ranges, practice bays and golf course facilities.
Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Practice
The mat can be used in outdoor driving ranges and course practice areas as well as indoor golf simulator and home practice setups.
Heavy-Duty Construction
The combination of a woven polypropylene surface and thick rubber crumb backing creates a substantial mat designed to stay firmly in position.
Why Use a Proper Golf Practice Mat?
Practising golf repeatedly from ordinary artificial grass, concrete or hard flooring can create an inconsistent hitting surface and may not give the golfer the stable footing needed for proper practice.
A purpose-built golf mat creates a defined hitting area that can be used repeatedly without damaging natural turf.
Protect Natural Grass
Repeated iron shots can quickly create divots and worn patches on natural grass. Using a golf mat allows practice to continue without repeatedly damaging the same section of turf.
Provide a Consistent Hitting Position
A dedicated golf mat provides the same basic hitting surface from shot to shot, making it useful when practising technique.
Support Year-Round Practice
Golf mats allow practice areas to remain usable when natural turf may be wet, muddy, worn or unsuitable for repeated hitting.
Create Permanent or Temporary Practice Areas
The 2 Star Golf Mat can be used as part of a permanent practice facility or positioned temporarily when required.
15mm Woven Polypropylene Playing Surface
The playing surface is one of the most important parts of any golf practice mat. The 2 Star Golf Mat uses a 15mm woven polypropylene surface designed to provide a durable and consistent area for striking golf balls.
Woven Polypropylene Construction
Polypropylene is used to create a robust synthetic playing surface capable of handling repeated golf practice.
15mm Playing Surface
The 15mm woven surface provides the main golf playing layer above the rubber crumb base.
Suitable for Iron and Tee Shots
The mat can be used for different types of golf practice, including shots played directly from the surface as well as shots played from a rubber tee.
Designed for Professional Practice Areas
The surface is designed for locations where the mat may be used repeatedly by many golfers, including driving ranges and golf course practice bays.
10mm Rubber Crumb Backing
Underneath the playing surface is a firm 10mm rubber crumb backing. This backing gives the 2 Star Golf Mat much of its weight and stability.
Firm Support
The rubber crumb base provides a solid foundation beneath the synthetic playing surface, helping the mat stay level during use.
Helps Keep the Mat in Position
Because the mat is substantially heavier than many lightweight golf practice mats, it can normally remain in position without permanent fixing.
Suitable for Temporary Placement
The heavy backing makes the mat useful for temporary golf practice areas where the mat may need to be moved or repositioned rather than permanently bonded down.
Strong Base for Repeated Practice
The firm backing supports the upper playing surface through repeated foot movement and club strikes.
Heavy-Duty Stability During Practice
A golf mat that moves every time the golfer swings can quickly become frustrating. Stability is therefore a major part of the 2 Star Golf Mat design.
The mat weighs approximately 11.5kg per square metre, with even the smallest mat weighing around 20kg. This gives it enough weight to sit firmly on a suitable solid base during normal use.
Less Movement During Play
The substantial weight helps prevent the mat from sliding or shifting as the golfer changes stance or strikes the ball.
Useful for Driving Range Bays
Driving range mats receive repeated use throughout the day. A heavier mat helps maintain a consistent position inside each hitting bay.
Useful for Home Practice
The same stability benefits home golfers who do not want to secure a practice mat permanently to the floor.
Optional Permanent Fixing
If the mat is being installed permanently, or if theft prevention is important, it can be secured using suitable adhesive or fixing brackets.
Designed to Replicate Fairway Conditions
One of the main aims of the 2 Star Golf Mat is to give golfers a more realistic hitting surface than simply practising from a hard floor or basic artificial grass.
The woven polypropylene surface is designed to replicate natural fairway conditions, providing a consistent surface for practice.
Practice Iron Shots
The mat provides a designated area for practising iron shots without repeatedly taking divots from natural grass.
Work on Swing Technique
A consistent hitting surface allows golfers to concentrate on stance, swing path, contact and follow-through.
Use with Golf Simulators
The fairway-style playing surface also makes the mat suitable for indoor golf simulator installations where a dedicated hitting mat is required.
Practice in Poor Weather
Using a golf mat can allow practice to continue when natural turf conditions are poor or when the golfer is practising indoors.
Long-Term Durability
Golf practice facilities can put significant wear on matting because the same areas are repeatedly stood on and struck with clubs. The 2 Star Golf Mat is designed with long-term use in mind.
The product has a listed life expectancy of more than 15 years in UK conditions, subject to correct installation and use.
Designed for Commercial Use
The mat is suited to locations such as golf courses and driving ranges where it may be used by many players.
Suitable for Outdoor UK Conditions
The mat is designed to cope with long-term use in UK golf environments when installed and maintained correctly.
Useful Long-Term Investment
A durable practice surface can reduce how often a golf facility needs to replace worn hitting mats.
15-Year Guarantee
The 2 Star Golf Mat is also supplied with a 15-year guarantee, providing additional reassurance for long-term installations.
Rubber Tees and Slot Options
Different golfers and golf facilities need different tee arrangements. The 2 Star Golf Mat is available with a choice of rubber tees or slots.
Rubber Tee Option
Rubber tees are recommended and are supplied free of charge with relevant mat options.
Course Mat Tee Configuration
Course mats are supplied with six crossed rubber tees, allowing golfers to position the ball for different practice shots.
Range Mat Tee Configuration
Range mats are supplied with four tubular tees for use in driving range environments.
Insert Options
Golf mat inserts are also available without holes or slots where a plain playing surface is required.
Available Sizes
Different practice environments need different mat sizes. The 2 Star Golf Mat is available in several dimensions for use in ranges, courses, simulators and home setups.
Available Size Options
- 1.50m x 1.50m
- 1.50m x 1.00m
- 1.83m x 1.22m
- 2.00m x 1.00m
- 2.00m x 1.50m
Smaller Practice Areas
The smaller options are useful where space is limited or where the golfer needs a dedicated hitting surface without covering a large floor area.
Larger Practice Bays
The larger mats provide additional standing and hitting space for commercial ranges, practice bays and simulator rooms.
Choose Based on Stance and Swing Area
When choosing a size, allow enough room for the golfer to stand comfortably and address the ball without stepping off the mat during the swing.
Golf Driving Range Use
Driving ranges are one of the most demanding environments for golf mats. Each hitting position may be used repeatedly throughout the day by golfers with different swings, clubs and practice routines.
Designed for Frequent Use
The heavy-duty construction makes the 2 Star Golf Mat suitable for repeated use in commercial driving range bays.
Stable Underfoot
The heavy rubber crumb base helps the mat remain stable while golfers move their feet and swing.
Rubber Tee Options
Range versions can be supplied with tubular rubber tees, giving golfers a defined tee position for driving practice.
Protect Range Turf
Using mats in range bays helps reduce damage to natural turf caused by repeated shots from the same position.
Golf Course and All-Weather Tee Use
Golf courses can use the 2 Star Golf Mat to create dependable practice or temporary teeing areas when natural turf needs protection.
All-Weather Tees
The mat can be used on all-weather tee areas where golfers need a consistent surface throughout the year.
Protect High-Wear Turf
Temporary matting can help protect natural teeing areas during periods of heavy use or poor ground conditions.
Practice Areas
The mat is suitable for dedicated course practice areas where players warm up or work on swing technique before playing.
Temporary Placement
Because of its weight, the mat can sit securely without being permanently fixed in many installations.
Golf Simulator Use
Indoor golf simulators need a proper hitting surface between the golfer and the hard floor underneath. The 2 Star Golf Mat provides a dedicated hitting area suitable for simulator rooms and indoor practice bays.
Dedicated Hitting Surface
The woven polypropylene surface creates a defined location for hitting golf balls into a simulator screen.
Heavy Base
The substantial rubber crumb backing helps the mat remain stable through repeated swings.
Multiple Sizes
The different mat sizes make it easier to select an option that fits the available simulator space.
Home or Commercial Simulators
The mat can be used in both home simulator rooms and commercial indoor golf facilities.
Home Golf Practice
Golfers do not need access to a commercial driving range every time they want to work on their swing. A heavy-duty golf mat can create a dedicated practice area at home.
Garden Practice Areas
The mat can provide a designated hitting position in a suitable home garden practice setup.
Garage Practice Areas
When paired with suitable nets or simulator equipment, the mat can be used to create a golf practice station in a garage.
Indoor Simulator Rooms
Home golfers with a simulator can use the mat as the main hitting surface.
Portable but Substantial
The mat is heavy enough to remain stable during use but can still be moved when the practice area needs to be changed.
How to Install the 2 Star Golf Mat
Correct installation helps the golf mat provide a flat, stable and consistent playing area.
Use a Hard, Solid Surface
The 2 Star Golf Mat should be installed on a hard, solid base. This gives the rubber crumb backing the support it needs to remain flat.
Check the Area Is Level
A level base is important because uneven ground beneath the mat could affect the golfer's stance and the playing surface.
Temporary Installation
For temporary use, the mat can normally be positioned directly onto the prepared surface. Its weight helps keep it in place.
Permanent Installation
For permanent installations, or where theft prevention is required, the mat can be secured using suitable adhesive or fixing brackets.
Allow Enough Swing Space
Always ensure that there is enough clear space around the mat for the golfer to complete a full swing safely.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps keep the playing surface clean and can support the long working life of the mat.
Brush Away Loose Debris
Brush the mat regularly to remove loose dirt, grass and other debris from the polypropylene surface.
Hose Down When Needed
For deeper cleaning, hose the mat down with water and allow it to air dry naturally.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Harsh cleaning chemicals should be avoided because they may damage the playing fibres.
Avoid High-Pressure Cleaning
High-pressure washing should also be avoided, as excessive pressure may damage the polypropylene fibres.
Inspect High-Use Areas
Commercial facilities should regularly check the main hitting and standing zones for signs of wear so maintenance can be carried out before damage becomes more significant.
