The 6x12 Fairway Golf Mat: A Full-Size Hidden Gem
A full 6 by 12 foot nylon hitting surface, made in Dalton, Georgia, at a price that undercuts premium-branded mats by a wide margin. Here is why it is one of the best values in the lineup.
If you want a full-size home hitting surface without paying a premium-brand price, the 6x12 Fairway golf mat deserves a hard look. It is a genuine 6 by 12 foot nylon mat, the same width and length the big brands charge a small fortune for, priced at $299.99 with FREE Shipping included. That combination of full size, nylon turf, and a value price is why we think of it as a hidden gem.
Why It Is a Hidden Gem
Most golfers shopping for a full-size mat start with the premium brands and stop when they see the price. What they miss is that a full 6 by 12 foot nylon mat does not have to cost what those brands charge. The 6x12 Fairway gives you the size and the material that matter, made in the USA, without the marketing markup baked into the premium-brand price. It is the mat a lot of buyers wish they had found first.
What a Full 6x12 Gets You
Size is not just about looks. A 6 by 12 foot surface gives you room to set your full stance on turf, take a complete swing, and position the ball anywhere along the mat rather than being boxed into one worn spot. It is large enough to anchor a garage or basement hitting bay and long enough to pair with a net comfortably. For the full Fairway lineup and other sizes, see our Fairway golf mat buying guide.
The 3/8 inch nylon pile gives a tight, fairway-style lie for clean contact hitting directly off the surface and for chipping. It is the mat for playing the ball as it lies, not for teeing up with wooden tees. If wooden tee use is your priority, the Super Tee line is the one to look at.
Nylon Where It Counts
The 6x12 Fairway uses nylon turf, the same premium material across the All Turf Mats golf lines. That means it is UV-resistant and weather resistant for indoor or outdoor use, and it is residue-free, so it will not leave green streaks on your clubs. Nylon is also what lets a mat survive real practice volume without flattening in a season. For the full material comparison, our nylon vs poly guide lays out why this matters.
The 5mm Foam Backing
The 6x12 Fairway is built on a flexible 5mm foam backing. It adds a layer of give underfoot, is slip-resistant, and rolls up for transport and storage. It is the practical, rollable backing rather than the thickest cushioning option, which is part of how the mat hits its price. If you want to understand how it compares to thicker foam and urethane, our golf mat backing types guide breaks it down.
The Price Story
Here is the part that makes it a gem. At $299.99 with FREE Shipping, the 6x12 Fairway comes in well below what premium-branded nylon mats of the same size typically cost, which frequently run several hundred dollars more and in many cases roughly double. The gap is not a difference in size or a difference in material. It is the difference between buying the mat and buying the brand. You are getting a full-size nylon surface, made in Dalton, Georgia, at the price the product actually warrants.

Who It Is For
Is the 6x12 Fairway Your Mat?
One practical note: at 6 by 12 feet it is a large mat, so two people are recommended for moving it into place. It rolls for transport and storage, and it may take a day or two to fully flatten after unrolling.
