The 2024-2025 college golf season kicks off in September, with almost 300 D1 schools competing in the NCAA golf tournaments this year. While fans can tune into the action on ESPN and Golf Channel, aspiring and amateur golfers alike can also tee up their skills at home with the Perfect Practice Putting Mat.
The official golf putting green of former PGA World #1 (and current LIV Golf star) Dustin Johnson, Perfect Practice has unveiled a collection of college-themed putting mats ahead of the new school season. Customize your mat from more than 20 school colors and logos as part of this officially-licensed NCAA collaboration.

COLLEGE EDITION
Perfect Practice Indoor Putting Mat Collegiate Edition
The Perfect Practice Collegiate Edition Putting Mat measures nine feet long, and is made from a unique “crystal velvet” material that is designed to mimic playing on grass or turf. There are two holes at the end of the mat, along with lines and markings to help you work on precision and stroke accuracy. The two holes also make this indoor green ideal for both right-handed and left-handed golfers.
What we like: the built-in “auto return” system automatically rolls the ball back to you down a side gutter. When you’re done playing, just roll up the mat like a carpet and it tucks away easily in a closet or under the bed (reviewers say you may need to iron or flatten the mat a little bit when you take it back out). The ball return track, meantime, snaps together in seconds.

CLASSIC EDITION
Perfect Practice Compact Putting Mat
Prefer the traditional indoor putting green? Amazon also sells the regular version of the Perfect Practice putting mat here. The company says that this is the same indoor putting mat used by 2020 Masters champ Johnson, and that it was designed with “tour-tested technology” in mind. Both the college edition and classic version of the indoor putting greens are on sale now at Amazon (note: clubs and golf balls are not included).
As for the college golf season, tournaments kick off in September, with teams looking to advance to the NCAA D1 Championship in May. Last year’s winning team came from Auburn, after the sixth-seeded Tigers defeated fifth-ranked Florida State, 3-2 in match play.
