The TGP Hero FairwayHero is a 3x5 ft heavy-duty practice mat built to mimic a fairway lie. Its custom turf and 5mm foam backing absorb club impact, which the maker says reduces the joint sting of thin shots and keeps the mat from sliding. Four pre-cut holes take rubber tees, so you can hit driver as well as irons. It suits home, garage and backyard practice, including on concrete or decking. Against thinner roll-out mats it is heavier and more stable; against high-end commercial mats it is simpler, with no replaceable hitting strip.

Owners rate it highly and describe it as durable and stable, with several calling it the best mat they have used. The main praise is wear resistance under heavy ball volume and a fairway-like feel.
This 3 x 5 ft golf hitting mat is part of the TGP Hero Fairway Grass Series. It uses a custom engineered fairway grass surface to simulate hitting from a well-groomed fairway. The grass transfers energy well and absorbs extra shock, so clubs don't bounce at impact.
The mat is designed to reduce the "turf-shock" of traditional mats and to protect joints during frequent practice. A 5 mm foam backing grips the floor so the mat doesn't slide. The mat is built to last thousands of swings.
The mat is large enough to stand on and hit from, with a level lie. It can be used indoors or outdoors, on any surface, including concrete patios and wood decks. It can be set up in seconds in a backyard, garage, basement or spare room, and it can be added to a golf hitting net.
