Living in an apartment or working in a compact office doesn't mean your putting practice has to suffer. The challenge isn't finding space to practice. It's finding equipment that works in limited space without compromising on quality.
Most putting mats marketed for small spaces are cheap carpet strips that teach bad habits. They're too short to develop proper tempo, too artificial to translate to real greens, and too flimsy to stay flat. You end up with a product that fits in your closet but does nothing for your game.
PrimePutt took a different approach. Their Compact Single Hole mat measures 9 feet by 1.5 feet, fitting into spaces most people assume are too small for meaningful practice. Roll it out in a hallway, alongside your desk, or in front of your couch. When you're done, roll it back up and slide it under a bed or behind a door.
Tour-Quality Surface in a Compact Package
The defining feature of PrimePutt mats is the same whether you buy the compact version or their larger options: premium half-inch nylon turf that rolls at 9-11 on the Stimpmeter. That rating puts it right in line with most course conditions you'll face on weekends.
This matters more than you might think. Practice on a surface that rolls true, and your brain learns accurate feedback about speed and line. Practice on cheap synthetic carpet, and you're essentially training yourself to putt worse. The ball bounces differently, rolls inconsistently, and creates muscle memory that falls apart the moment you step onto real grass.
PrimePutt's turf was engineered with input from turf scientists and golf professionals. PGA Tour players use these mats. NCAA Division I programs use them for daily practice. That same surface is available for your apartment.
Works on Whatever Floor You Have
Carpet, hardwood, tile, and concrete. The mat performs consistently across all of them because of the engineered rubber backing that keeps it anchored without adhesive or weights. No sliding during your stroke. No adjusting between putts.
The full-depth cup design replicates an actual hole rather than the shallow cups most competitors use. Your ball needs to have the right speed to drop, just like on a course. Miss your line, and the ball lips out realistically instead of falling in on putts that would never drop in real conditions.
The furniture-grade walnut backstop isn't just aesthetic. It returns balls smoothly and holds extra balls during practice, so you're not constantly walking back and forth in your limited space. Small detail, but it matters when you're trying to get quality reps in a 10-minute window before work.
Storage Without Compromise
Unlike cheaper mats that crease and warp when rolled up, PrimePutt's construction allows it to lay perfectly flat within minutes of unrolling. No weights needed, no waiting for it to settle. This isn't a minor convenience. It means you'll actually use it instead of leaving it rolled up because setup is too annoying.
At roughly 15 pounds, it's substantial enough to feel professional but light enough to move easily. Store it vertically in a closet, horizontally under furniture, or lean it against a wall in a corner. The mat takes up less space than a vacuum cleaner.
The Investment Calculation
At $490, PrimePutt mats cost significantly more than bargain options. But tour professionals and college programs chose these mats after testing every alternative available. They're not paying for marketing. They're paying for a surface that actually improves putting.
Think of it this way: a single lesson costs $100-150 and lasts an hour. This mat gives you unlimited access to quality practice in whatever space you have. The durability guarantee means it's built for years of daily use, not months of occasional practice.
Small spaces don't require small compromises. They require smart equipment choices. PrimePutt solved the space problem without sacrificing the performance that actually matters.
