Need help with your game? Turn to the Wilson Golf auto-putting mat, a professional-style, 8-foot mat that simulates an actual putting green. The mat is made of artificial turf that behaves like real turf, with a regulation-sized hole sitting at the edge of the green. Even better, the mat offers a gravity-fed automatic ball return that sends your ball back after each made or missed putt. As a result, you'll spend more time working on your stroke and less time chasing balls. Made of durable, molded plastic that's appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use, the battery-free mat offers an ideal way to shave strokes off your score. About Wilson

Summary: Waste of Money
Comment: As many other reviewers stated, mat is a little bumpy, but I expected that and I'm sure eventually it'd go flat (or you could iron it), and that alone I was ok with. What I'm not ok with is the fact that even if you do put it right in the hole, it either just sits in the hole or rolls down to the return device and just sits there. After moving the return device around at different angles I eventually got it to return one out of every 4 balls, and even then it only returned it about half way to me, even on short carpet.... I will be looking for a better return putting green.
Customer Rating:
Summary: not too bad, but some inaccuracies in advertisement
Comment: Overall, I pretty much got what I was expecting to get which was a decent practice putting mat for a lower price than some others that are offered. This could be picky, but a few things I noticed:
1 - It advertises 8 feet, but that's if the mat would actually stay perfectly straight without any creases and if you putted from the back edge of the mat; even then the hole is placed up a couple inches from the back of the mat. Because of this, you actually get around 7 1/2 feet. Not a really big deal to me, but maybe for some.
2 - It advertises a regulation size cup. I looked up what a regulation diameter is and it is 4 1/4 inches. This cup measures just a bit short of 4 inches. I actually find that to be a convenience because it makes you be a little more accurate with your putts, but it would be nice if the manufacturer actually delivered what it said.
I also noticed that if you miss your putt by just a bit thus missing the return track, the ball will stay on top of the mat defeating the purpose of returning the ball automatically. A small book underneath the back helped with that problem. Also, if you crush it there is nothing to stop the ball from going over the back edge, but if you hit it that hard you deserve the punishment of going to retrieve the ball yourself.
Overall, I'm happy with it and it gets the job done.

Summary: Good Enough
Comment: The base w/ the hole is a cheap plastic. One wrong step and you'll crush it. $22 is too much for this product, however Wal-mart offers it at a much lower price . . and at that price, it's good enough to practice and have fun on.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A complete waste
Comment: The artifical grass was nothing like the photo on the box. It was a cheap felt with many buckles and bumps making it impossible to put on. Save your money and buy a piece a felt from an arts and craft store.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent service and delievery
Comment: service and delivery was great for the price it was ok... I wish the green carpet could have been a little more sturdy but over all glad I got it
