W hether you need the perfect golf gift for your boss or you just don’t want to embarrass yourself at the company golf tournament, an office putting set could be the answer to your prayers.
Just think:
An indoor putting set is a great way to bond with coworkers, have fun at parties, or just practice putting year round from the comfort of your home, living room, or office.
(Plus, you don’t have to lug around your golf bag.)
But with so many options on the market, finding the right putting set for you can be a more daunting task than a mid-length bunker shot.
That’s why we’ve put together this list of the best indoor putting greens for every skill level, space, and budget, to help you (and your coworkers) improve your short game.
So read on and get ready to be the hit of the office—not to mention, shave a few strokes off your golf game.
The (Absolute) Best Office Putting Greens
Breaking down the best putting greens for practice sessions in your spare time.
Overall Office Putting Green ↓
Perfect Practice Putting Mat
Rating:
- 4.5 Stars
- 1,980 Reviews
Advantages:
The Perfect Practice Putting Mat is our top pick for the best indoor putting green on the market thanks to its high-quality materials, intelligent design, and great reviews.
Encased in a stylish wooden frame, the crystal velvet putting surface ensures the ball rolls smoothly like on a real putting green, and has printed guidelines for left- and right-handed putters to help you hone your aim.
It also features a two-hole design, one regulation size and one slightly smaller for improving accuracy from a distance, and automatic ball return feature that rolls the ball back to you.
The standard size is 9 ‘6 ” but it’s also available in 15’ 6”, which is perfect for large office spaces, but don’t worry—the putting green rolls up so it can be neatly tucked away when not in use.
Full disclosure: This set is one of the most expensive on our list, but it’s also the only one that’s endorsed by Dustin Johnson (‘nuff said).
Promising Review:
I have always been a terrible putter. This thing has made my putting do a complete 180. Buy this. Do the drill where you have to make 2 putts from each foot mark and you will immediately improve.
Seriously. You suck at putting. This makes you not suck. It makes you a good putter. Especially, in the scoring range putts inside 10ft.
Best Perfect Practice Knock-Off ↓
Loowoko Indoor Putting Green with Ball Return
Rating:
- 4.6 Stars
- 972 Reviews
Advantages:
This indoor putting set is almost identical to the Perfect Putting Mat mentioned above, but it’s about $50 cheaper.
(There are actually several knock-off brands out there, but this is the best one in our humble opinion.)
This premium quality mat has the same wooden-frame design with two practice cups, automatic ball return, and crystal velvet turf with printed guidelines.
Other than the lower price tag, the only difference is the club support option at the end for storing your putter when you’re not playing.
Plus, it’s only available in one size.
Promising Review:
Wonderful design, craftsmanship and quality materials and an ingenious ball return track that uses magnets to assemble.
The roll-out matt replicates the look, feel and texture of a real green. It assembles in seconds, disassembles even faster and stows away with the roll-up putting surface fitting perfectly beneath the ball-return unit.
Best Under $50 ↓
AbcoTech Indoor Golf Putting Green
Rating:
- 4.5 Stars
- 4,104 Reviews
Advantages:
The AbcoTech Indoor Putting Green is another good option under $50, especially if you want a practice mat with an automatic ball return.
Like the similar models already mentioned, this one has a two-hole design, realistic turf, and a smart ball return system.
It also comes with three real golf balls so you can get started right away.
Promising Review:
This was an excellent golf aid that was easy to assemble. It was the perfect thing to use indoors for when it was too cold outside and I still wanted to practice putting.
Best for Beginners and Non-Golfers ↓
Putt-A-Bout Par 3 Putting Green
Rating:
- 4.6 Stars
- 20,351 Reviews
Advantages:
Looking for something even cheaper? No problem.
The Putt-A-Bout Par 3 Putting Green is one of the best options if you’re on a budget.
(Not to mention, it’s the most reviewed portable putting green on our list).
Made in the USA from high quality PET resin, the multiple cup targets let you work on different angles and speeds, while the built-in hazards catch any missed putts.
There’s zero assembly and when you’re done, it rolls up and tucks away for easy storage and portability.
Promising Review:
Got this so I can practice my putts anytime or any weather. Just vary from carpet to hard floors to change the speed of the green. Helps me with alignment and pace. I practice at least once a day. Glad I got it.
– Rick
Best for Practicing Speed ↓
ProActive Sports VariSpeed Putting System
Rating:
- 4.6 Stars
- 590 Reviews
Advantages:
This is one of the top office putting greens if you want to work on speed.
(And if you don’t think speed is the most important factor in putting, just ask Jason Day.)
The unique fibers allow you to choose up to four different speeds by brushing the mat in a specific direction using the roller brush (yes, it’s included).
What’s also cool is it comes with a break wedge that you slide under the mat to create a custom slope, for a unique practice hole every time.
Promising Review:
I am so confident I can hit a straight putt now because of this green. I almost never miss inside 5 feet now, whereas before I was 50/50 because I was not hitting the ball straight.
This gives you the confidence to putt which is critical to making putts.

Best for Small Spaces ↓
JEF World of Golf Automatic Putting Cup
Rating:
- 4.2 Stars
- 1,063 Reviews
Advantages:
For offices that don’t have a huge amount of space, the JEF Automatic Putting Cup is an excellent choice.
This battery-operated practice cup and ball return system lets you practice your putting skills anywhere, anytime, without taking up a lot of extra space.
A great value at under $30, it’s also an ideal gift for coworkers or the golf enthusiast in your life.
Promising Review:
I bought this for my coworker/boss for a Christmas gift and we love it. I work in a small community bank & we’re not extremely busy, so it’s set up in his office. We practice putting almost daily. Best gift I’ve bought in a long time! Even our customers are trying it out.

Best for Serious Golfers ↓
WellPutt Putting Training Mat 2.0
Rating:
- 4.4 Stars
- 123 Reviews
Advantages:
Most pros will tell you that putting is the most important part of your game, and the WellPutt Training Mat 2.0 is a great choice for that serious golfer who wants to take his putting to the next level.
Approved by professional golfers like Jordan’s Speith’s swing coach, Cameron McCormick, this is more than just a green mat.
It’s an advanced training aid designed with two different stimp speeds (aka green speeds), for practicing accuracy and distance control.
Not only does it have a lifetime guarantee, but it’s also UV resistant, making it a good choice for outdoor use.
Don’t forget to download the WellPutt App, which has over 50 exercises, plus instructions and tips, and lets you track your stats.
Promising Review:
I purchased this putting mat to use at a tradeshow, in hopes of luring in golf lovers to my booth. Not only was that a huge success, but I now have it in my home office.
I like the different cups on the mat, and the “good zone” that is located behind each cup. I found that this has made me a more confident putter out on the course, especially with these 8 foot and in type putts.
Best with Hazards↓
Club Champ Putt N’ Hazard Electric Putting Mat
Rating:
- 4.5 Stars
- 244 Reviews
Advantages:
The Club Champ Putt N’ Hazard is a fun way to practice golf training from the comfort of your office.
Made from heavy-duty material, the non-directional turf mimics the feel of real grass that you get on an actual golf course.
It has a realistic cup, as well as a sand and water hazard, all of which automatically return the ball for uninterrupted putting practice.
The downside is it needs to be plugged into an outlet, so it’s not as portable as some of the other models on the list.
Promising Review:
Co-workers love this – Office uses it everyday.

SKLZ Accelerator Pro Indoor Putting Mat

Promising Review:
Definitely worth the money and definitely helped my putting game. Helps you to figure out the sweet spot.
The consistency of hitting the same ball the same way, maybe adding more space but ultimately the ball is hit the same way all the time.

Promising Review:
This mat is not only fun, but challenging at the same time. You can enjoy fun with the family or friends, take to events and enjoy the short game of golf while perfecting your craft.
I think out of all the putting mats I have tried this one is my favorite.

This is such a fun party game! It seemed a little expensive for what it is but still very fun! It’s great to bring anywhere or give as a gift. All that needs to be done is open it up and set it on the ground- very easy to assemble.

Would be a great gift for a golf lover. Well made easy to assemble would work great at home or in office. Definitely not as easy as it looks. Ball return works well easy to set up Velcro. Great price.

This is a fun addition to the office! Ball return works great and doesn’t take up too much space. It’s perfect!
SAPLIZE Golf Mat Pro
Rating:

Promising Review:
This putting green is amazing. Most rollout putting greens never lay flat and it prevents a true roll. Similar greens cost more and are only 7′ or shorter. The bumper, putting mirror, hole and terrain inserts are a huge bonus.

Promising Review:
I played with this thing for over an hour the first day, lots of fun. Had some minor creasing from being in the box, but I ironed it out easily in about 1 minute and was putting away in no time.
The guidelines in some spots are pretty cool feature… and I could feel my strokes better after using them for a bit and then moving away from them.

Promising Review:
This green is heavy duty and very easy to set up. It has 4 holes and comes with a flag to put in the hole. The end has 3 Velcro risers to keep the ball on the green. I find it to be a little on the pricey side but it is made well.

Promising Review:
I like the length of the putting strip and the three holes. I can make a stroke from several distances and control my putting stroke much better. I’ve played once since I received it and I see a difference in my distance control and putting stroke.

We have been using this carpet/like putting mat for over 3 months now. We are impressed with the durability, markings, and flexibility.
It rolls up nice and unrolls without causing extra ripples. It stays flat.
