Best Golf Simulator Hitting Mats 2026 — SigPro & Big Moss Buyer's Guide

The HomeCourse Landing Pad gives you a clean artificial turf base at a minimal price. At 9×5ft it covers the hitting zone inside a ProScreen 180 enclosure and keeps your hitting mat in place. Straightforward, purpose-fit, and the right starting point if you're building around a HomeCourse setup.

The 4×7 Softy is SigPro's compact hitting mat — the right size for rooms where floor space is limited or you're fitting into a tighter bay. The Softy surface replicates short-cut fairway conditions and absorbs impact without the joint fatigue that comes with harder mat surfaces. Tee pegs insert directly into the mat at driver height, mid-iron height, and low for irons off the deck.

$1,198.99

Best for:

Anyone with a SIG10 enclosure who wants a matched floor solution. Also works as a standalone bay mat in open spaces — gyms, garages, commercial training rooms — where you want full floor coverage without an enclosure.

$1,318.99

Best for:

Full-swing simulator bays with enough room to use it. Standard recommendation for anyone running a complete simulator setup — the extra mat depth removes one variable from your practice environment and lets you focus on the swing, not the surface.

$1,398.99

Best for:

Large bays, SIG12 enclosure owners, and commercial setups where a 10ft pad falls short. Also a strong choice for any open-plan training space where you want maximum floor coverage without enclosure walls.

Big Moss builds putting surfaces for serious short game practice — and the simulator version is no different. True Roll Technology means the ball breaks and rolls the way it does on a real green, not the artificial skid you get from cheaper mat surfaces. Precut cup holes mean you're dropping putts, not just rolling them at a target. Set inside an enclosure or laid out as a standalone green, it gives you a short game studio in the same room as your full swing setup.

What hitting mat is best for a golf simulator?

The SigPro Softy 4×10 is the most popular hitting mat for simulator bays — it's long enough for a full swing and follow-through, the Softy surface gives realistic feedback, and it's built to handle daily use. For smaller rooms the SigPro 4×7 gives the same surface quality in a compact footprint.

Do I need a landing pad as well as a hitting mat?

A landing pad covers the full bay floor beneath and around the hitting mat — it protects your floor, anchors the hitting mat, and softens the feel underfoot. For a complete bay setup, pair a SigPro hitting mat with a SIG10 or SIG12 landing pad matched to your enclosure size.

How thick should a golf simulator hitting mat be?

Thicker mats absorb more impact and reduce joint stress, which matters if you're hitting daily. SigPro Softy mats use a foam-backed construction that cushions the strike without sacrificing feedback. Avoid thin rubber-backed mats for simulator use — they transmit too much shock.

Can you put a hitting mat on hardwood floors?

Yes, but use a landing pad underneath to prevent the mat from shifting and to protect the floor surface. The SIG10 and SIG12 pads are designed for this — they grip the floor and give the hitting mat a stable base on any hard surface.
