Floor Mats for Golf Clubs and Pro Shops: Clubhouse Entrance, Putting Area and Counter
A golf club floor takes wet grass and sand at the clubhouse door, golfers testing putters in the pro shop and members queueing at the counter. Here's which floor mats golf clubs and pro shops order for each spot, and how putting mats can double as a retail line.
A four-ball comes off the 18th green on a wet morning, walks straight into the clubhouse and heads for the bar. Every pair of shoes brings in grass clippings, sand from the bunkers and water. Ten minutes later a member is in the pro shop, rolling a new putter across the carpet to see how it feels.
This guide is for golf club managers, pro shop owners and the suppliers who fit out clubhouses. It covers floor mats for golf clubs area by area, and how putting mats can earn their place as a product on the shelf as well as a fixture on the floor.
The short answer
Golf clubs need a heavy outdoor rubber logo mat where golfers come in from the course, a nylon logo mat inside the clubhouse door, a putting mat in the pro shop so customers can try putters, and a printed or insert-window counter mat at the till. Pro shops can also stock and personalise putting mats as gifts.
At the clubhouse door: outdoor and indoor logo mats
The door golfers use after a round takes the heaviest dirt in the building, so it needs two mats. Outside, or on the open step, use a mat built for weather. The printed outdoor rubber logo mat has a heavy anti-slip rubber base in common thicknesses of 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 8mm and is made for continuous outdoor use at open entrances.
Inside the door, a nylon logo mat catches the water and grit the first mat missed and puts the club crest in front of every member and visitor. The club's colours can be matched to Pantone references and every design is confirmed on a free digital proof. A club with a separate members' entrance, a halfway house or a driving range building can order the same design in several sizes.
In the pro shop: a putting mat to test putters
Customers want to roll a few balls before they buy a putter. A putting mat on the shop floor gives them a proper surface to do it, and it keeps the test area clean and defined.
Our golf putting practice mat is made in custom lengths and widths with a nylon or polyester surface on a non-slip TPR or latex backing, and lines, targets and the club logo can be printed on the face. Speed depends on the construction: a polyester face on a non-woven backing rolls fastest, polyester on TPR sits in the middle, and nylon on TPR rolls slower. A putting mat is tuned to feel close to a real green, but it will never behave exactly like the course's greens, and it's worth saying so to customers.
At the counter: printed and insert-window counter mats
The checkout counter is where members book lessons, pay green fees and pick up a sleeve of balls. A printed branded counter mat carries the club crest or a sponsor message on a smooth PVC top with an anti-slip foam rubber base, in 12″×24″, 18″×36″ or 24″×48″, or a custom size.
If the message changes every month (competition dates, lesson offers, a new range of clubs), an insert-window counter mat lets staff slide in a new printed sheet without replacing the mat. Our comparison of insert-window and magnetic counter mats explains which suits a changing promotion.
On the shelf: putting mats as a retail and gift line
A pro shop that sells putting mats has a product most members will buy at some point: for home practice, for the office, or as a gift. Stock a small range by speed and length rather than many look-alike mats. Our guide to what retailers should stock covers how to build that range.
Branded putting mats also work for club events. A mat printed with the club crest and the date of a club championship, a captain's day or a corporate golf day makes a gift that gets used long after the event. See logo putting mats for corporate gifts for how to plan the order.
Ordering for a club
Most clubs order in one batch before the season: entrance mats for each door, one or two putting mats for the shop, counter mats for the till, and putting mats for resale or events. Stock items typically ship in 7–15 days and custom orders in 20–30 days, plus shipping, so plan around the opening of the season or the date of the event. MOQ is confirmed in the quote.
How to order
Send the entrance sizes, the putting area length, the counter size, quantities, and the club crest or artwork. Tell us which mats are for the floor and which are for resale. See the sports mat range, the logo mat range, or send us your club's list.
