The Super Tee golf mat is built around one feature that sets it apart from every other practice mat in the All Turf Mats lineup: it holds real wooden tees. The 1 inch Nylon face pile is deep enough to insert a standard wooden tee at a natural height, giving you a tee-box style hitting experience on a practice mat. If you want to practice your driver, fairway woods, or any teed shot with a real wooden tee, the Super Tee is the only mat that delivers that.

This guide covers every Super Tee golf mat configuration — foam vs urethane backing, size options, rubber tee hole counts, and which setup fits your practice environment. Whether you are building a home golf practice setup, outfitting a simulator bay, or equipping a driving range, this guide has the answers.

The Wooden Tee Advantage

Most golf practice mats force you to use rubber tees. Rubber tees work fine for iron and wedge practice, but they change the mechanics of a tee shot in ways that matter for driver and fairway wood practice. The tee height is fixed, the flex of the rubber affects ball contact differently than wood, and the overall feel of the setup does not match what you experience on the first tee of any real course.

The Super Tee solves this. The 1 inch Nylon face pile is deep enough to hold a standard wooden tee at a natural insertion depth, just like pushing a tee into real turf. You set your own tee height, use the same wooden tees you play with on the course, and build a driver swing on a surface that replicates the real tee box experience as closely as any practice mat can.

Super Tee vs Fairway Mats — Which Is Right for You?

Both product lines use Nylon turf and are built for golf hitting practice. The differences come down to pile height, tee compatibility, and primary use case.

The Super Tee has a 1 inch face pile — significantly taller than the Fairway's 3/8 inch pile. That extra pile height is what makes wooden tee use possible and gives the Super Tee its tee-box feel. The tradeoff is that the taller pile does not replicate a tight fairway lie as accurately as the Fairway mat does for iron and wedge shots hit directly off the surface.

Foam vs Urethane Backing

Super Tee mats are available in two backing types. The choice between them affects portability, cushioning, grip, and where the mat performs best.

5/8 Foam Backing

The 5/8 closed-cell foam backing is shock-absorbent, waterproof, and slip-resistant. It adds meaningful weight that helps the mat stay planted during swing movement and provides anti-fatigue cushioning for long practice sessions. This is the right backing for stationary setups — simulator bays, dedicated practice rooms, and indoor or outdoor setups where the mat will not be moved frequently.

Urethane Backing

The urethane coating is approximately credit-card thickness. It makes the mat significantly lighter and more rollable than the foam-backed version, which makes it ideal for driving ranges, outdoor practice areas, and any setup where the mat will be transported, stored between sessions, or moved regularly. Urethane mats are not shock-absorbent and should not be described as anti-fatigue, but they are durable, rollable, and not damaged by water.

Rubber Tee Hole Options

Several Super Tee SKUs include pre-punched rubber tee holes in addition to wooden tee capability. This gives you flexibility to use rubber tees for certain shots while still having the option of wooden tees for driver and fairway wood practice.

Size Guide

Super Tee mats range from 1x2 feet up to 5x10 feet. The right size depends on your available space, practice goals, and whether you will stand on the mat or beside it during your swing.

1 x 2 — Compact and Portable

The 1x2 Super Tee mats are designed for golfers who stand beside the mat rather than on it. They are lightweight, easy to transport, and a practical choice for range use, travel, and minimalist home setups. Available in both foam and urethane backing.

2 x 3 — Entry Level Full Mat

The 2x3 urethane version is a rollable, portable option for golfers who want a slightly larger hitting surface without committing to a full practice mat footprint.

3 x 5 and 4 x 5 — Standard Practice Sizes

The most popular sizes for home practice, garage setups, and backyard use. Large enough to stand on comfortably during a full swing with room for stance variation. Available in foam and urethane backing with rubber tee hole options on foam versions.

5 x 5 — Simulator and Dedicated Practice

The 5x5 is the recommended size for simulator setups and dedicated practice rooms. Eight rubber tee holes on the foam-backed version and enough surface area for a full stance and swing with multiple tee position options.

5 x 10 — Maximum Coverage

The 5x10 Super Tee covers the maximum hitting area in the lineup. Available in both foam and urethane backing. The foam-backed 5x10 at 83 lbs is heavy and best treated as a semi-permanent installation rather than a portable mat.

Indoor vs Outdoor Use

All Super Tee golf mats use Nylon turf that is UV-resistant and weather-resistant, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use year round. For outdoor driving range and backyard setups, urethane-backed versions are a practical choice due to their lighter weight and rollability. For indoor simulator and home practice setups, foam-backed versions provide the cushioning and grip that stationary indoor use benefits from.

Why Nylon Turf Matters

All Super Tee golf mats use Nylon turf. Compared to Poly alternatives, Nylon is more UV-resistant, more heat-resistant, more cleat-resistant, and longer-lasting under sustained use. Most importantly for a golf mat, Nylon is colorfast and residue-free — it will not leave green streaks on your clubs regardless of how many shots you hit. Poly turf can leave streaks because friction heat affects the material at the surface level. Nylon handles friction heat without breaking down.

Care and Cleaning

All Super Tee golf mats can be cleaned with a garden hose or pressure washer. For foam-backed mats, the closed-cell foam backing is waterproof, so rinsing the mat thoroughly is safe and effective. For urethane-backed mats, rainwater eventually seeps through the coating — the coating is not damaged by water and should not retain a puddle. Allow mats to dry fully before rolling for storage. Most mats need 24 to 48 hours to fully flatten after being unrolled. Placing the mat in a warm sunny area speeds flattening.
