Golf Mat Tees: Compare Holder Fit, Height and Replaceability

Start with the mat and its tee opening

Check the make and model of your mat and how its current tee is held. Some setups have an opening for a tee with a base underneath; others use a different holder or take a tee directly. A replacement needs to suit your particular setup, not just carry the words 'golf mat tee.'

Measure the existing opening and mat thickness, and inspect the present tee or holder for a maker or model. Ask the mat or tee maker which dimensions to compare and whether the exact replacement is compatible. Check whether you can reach underneath to install or remove a base where the tee design requires it. Do not enlarge a hole or alter the mat unless its maker specifically approves the modification.

If you are choosing a whole mat as well, our garage hitting mat guide covers the larger footprint and setup decision.

Separate nominal tee size from installed ball height

A catalog's tee length or size is a useful comparison only when you know how it is measured. It may not be the distance from your mat surface to the ball after installation. The mat's construction and where a holder sits can affect that result. Ask for an installed measurement for your mat and tee combination if you need a particular height.

Compare that answer with the setup you already like. A short holder that accepts a separate wood tee may offer another way to set height, but confirm the tee type and practical range with the maker rather than assuming every tee will work. If exact height is essential and cannot be confirmed, wait or keep your current setup.

Check what you are replacing

A rubber tee that holds the ball, a rubber holder for a separate wood tee, and a replacement base are different purchases. Read the selected pack description carefully: count the rubber pieces in each size and check whether any wood tees or other parts are included. A multi-height pack may contain fewer spares at the size you use most.

Compare the total delivered cost and return terms with what you already have. If a holder accepts a separate tee, those tees may need replacing too; ask the seller about included pieces and replacements instead of assuming a complete system.

One option: GoSports Rubber Golf Tees, 9-pack

GoSports lists model GOLF-TEES-RUBBER-9-MIX as nine rubber tees: three each in nominal 1.5-, 2.25- and 3.5-inch sizes. It says the 1.5-inch tee accepts a wood tee; wood tees are not listed among the pack's included components. The selected Amazon US listing is the nine-pack, ASIN B08BX8G1Y8.

The maker describes the tees for standard driving mats, but does not define that standard or publish the shaft diameter, insertion depth or installed ball height for a particular mat. Ask GoSports to confirm fit for your exact mat. Do not assume compatibility simply because a mat has the same brand. See GoSports' product page for images of the actual model; our illustration is conceptual.

When to buy or skip

Consider the GoSports pack if the maker confirms your mat opening is compatible and its three nominal sizes suit the range you want to investigate. Confirm any required installed height and return terms before ordering. The short tee's separate wood-tee option may be useful if that is the setup you want.

Skip it if compatibility or a required installed height remains unverified, if your mat uses another system, or if your present tee already does the job. We have not purchased or physically tested this pack, its fit, durability or effect on a shot.
