The greens, whoops, I mean putting surfaces, can be incredibly true and vey pacy.
And hitting from outside the marker stakes really teaches a player to hit the small ball before the big ball.:)

Looks great
If I were to play a casual round I'd not use the mat.
If competing the mat seems to be a good reason to keep it in the fairway.


Separately, I like the round mat so you can't use it as an aiming device.  ;D

Here in KSA we have 3 sand courses to play on our compounds. When I first came we only had a sand course at that compound and I was excited to play. I can attest that the novelty wore off very quickly for me, despite trying to like it. You bring your turf with you and the putting is interesting but VERY flat as you can't really have many breaks on oily sand greens. Also we had a guy in a hut next to the greens to use his big broom to smooth the green after each group. The interesting part is seeing your putting lines when you putt, which was unique as you certainly can tell if you hit your line. It helped me on your putting stroke a little due to that feedback. However you really need to wack it on sand.

Sorry to steal anyone's thunder who may want to play sand golf, but it would not be on my list anymore.

Could this be a solution in the desert US at some point?
