How Big Is an Office Putting Set?
While we recommend always trying before you buy we also recognise that this is not always possible. especially with online shopping or buying for others as a gift. So if you are trying out an office putting set then make sure you grab a hold of the measurements and then measure your available space before buying to make sure it will fit into your office or room as they do come in different sizes. We will take a look at these below.
An office putting set size will vary, but typically ranges from 3-10 ft in length and 2-3 ft in width, fitting well in a small to medium-sized office or room. It should be easy to set up and take down, Many putting sets can also be adjusted depending on the features of the set, such as multiple holes and obstacles.
There is nothing worse than buying something for your house only to find that it doesn’t fit. While an office putting set being too large is fixable with a stanley knife and a straight line it is still a headache. Remember to think about the space you will need when measuring as well. And while we can’t comment on how large (or small you are) we can give you some ideas on the size of an office putting set, which we do below.
How long is an Office Putting Set?
Office putting sets can be as long as you like if you just put the simple target / cup type of target and you can putt into it from everywhere. However if you are the proud owner of a full putting matt they can come in various lengths of course just like greens on the actual golf course. However short putting sets would be around 3 to 4 feet, medium up to 6 feet and the most useful ( in our opinion) are the 9 to 10 feet sets. – Especially if they are adjustable to different lengths and can add to you game with multiple hole options.
However the answer is from 3 to 10 feet in length for average home and office putting sets.
How Wide is an Office Putting set?
Putting sets, for pretty obvious reasons need to longer than they are wide, unless your putting really really needs some work. and it terms of space it is much less of a consideration. However if you get a higher end putting set then it may ballon out in the area of the actual hole to give more option for golfers with more targets.
Even if this is the case it is likely to be 2-3 feet wide even including its widest parts and should fit comfortably in most rooms and offices.
How Big a Office Putting Set Do you need?
A much more relevant question than how big is a putting set is, is how big an office set should be for your requirements. . A good size for an office putting set would depend on the available space in your home or your office and your personal preferences.
Some office putting sets are designed to be compact and take up minimal space, while others are larger and more elaborate. You can consider the following factors when deciding how large a putting set you want or need. ( these are not the same thing!)
- Putting stroke: If you have a longer putting stroke, or you liek to practice longer putts then you may want to opt for a larger mat to give yourself more room to make a full swing. , if you have a shorter stroke, or jsut want to try those 3-6 foot putts then a smaller mat may be sufficient.
- Space: Consider the amount of space you have available for a putting mat. If you have a small area, such as an office cubicle, you may want to choose a smaller mat that can easily fit in the space. If you have a larger space, such as a basement or garage, you can opt for a larger mat.
- Portability: If you plan on taking your putting mat with you when you travel or to different places you may want to choose a smaller, more portable size. Although most will be either foldable or be taken apart as and when needed.
Larger Office Putting Sets
It’s also worth considering that a larger set will allow for more realistic putting and may include more features, such as multiple holes, obstacles, or adjustable slopes, but it will also take more space. We do recommend getting the largest feasible putting set to give yourself more options and chances to practice though.
Ultimately, it’s important to find a set that fits your needs and preferences, whether that’s a compact, space-saving set or a larger, more elaborate set.
Also remember that size is only one feature of an office putting set, we look at other both essential and optional features of putting sets here in the linked article.
Should you use a putting matt indoors or outdoors
Putting mats can be used both indoors and outdoors. However, there are a few key differences to consider when choosing where to putt (ha!) your putting set.
- Surface: Indoors, putting mats are typically used on hard surfaces such as wood or tile. Outdoors, putting mats can be used on a variety of surfaces, including grass, sand, and concrete. depending where you place your mat you could have bumps and dips, which are actually great for practice as they give more variation and challenges to your practice sessions.
- Climate: Indoors, the climate is generally more controlled, which means the putting surface will be more consistent and predictable. Outdoors, the climate can vary significantly, which can affect the speed and conditions of the putting surface and of course playing in the rain is not any more fun on a putting mat than is is on a golf course.
- Space: Indoors, you may have more limited space to work with, so you’ll need to choose a putting mat that is the right size for your available space. Outdoors, you’ll have more flexibility in terms of the size and layout of your putting area but of course you are at the mercy of the weather then!
Where you use it is entirely up to you, but there is nothing stopping you play outside if conditions allow, and as we mention above uneven surfaces can actually add something to your practice, we look at why office putting sets can help your golf game here on the site. ( see the link)
At the end of the day, some people prefer to practice their putting indoors, while others prefer the outdoor environment. So you may as well try out both options and see which one works best for you. With that in mind we have a litte section to finish on about setting up a putting set in your garden, and using your garden to practice putting in general.
Can you practice putting in your garden
Of course you can practice putting in your garden. In fact, setting up a putting green in your garden can be a convenient and enjoyable way to practice your putting stroke. Here are a few tips for practicing putting in your garden both with and without a putting set.
- Choose an area with a flat surface: It is important to have a flat, or flattish, surface in order to get an accurate reading of your putts. You may need to do some preparation work to level out the ground f yo are not using a putting set.
- Set up a target: You can use a hole or a cup as a target, or you can simply mark a spot on the ground where you want to aim your putts. Of course if you have a putting set this is already done for you.
- Set up alignment aids: You can use alignment aids, such as lines or dots on the ground, to help you set up properly and ensure that your putter is square to the target. These often come on putting sets ( sometimes even with gutters on the side to stop you going off at an angle or over the back of the hole)
- Track your progress: You can use a digital scoreboard or a simple scorecard to keep track of your progress and identify any areas for improvement in your putting stroke.

Conclusion
office putting can range from 3-9 feet long, with averages of 6-7 feet being more common. How large a set you should buy depends on multiple factors including the space available, and what you hope to achieve from the set. if you need to practice longer, more difficult putts then obviously a longer set will be required.
However if you are looking to develop power management and muscle memory then a smaller set will be just fine.
