Plugged In Golf has been testing golf equipment for over a decade. When they reviewed the PUTTR Smart Putting Green, they gave it a distinction no other product had earned: the most addictive putting trainer they've ever tested. That's ten years of reviews distilled into a single verdict.

What Plugged In Golf Highlighted
Setup and Build Quality
The review walked through the unboxing experience: a large metal case housing the rolled-up green, magnetic ball return pieces, power adapter, and phone stand. They noted that setup and breakdown take under two minutes, and the 27 putting positions across the 12-foot mat provide genuine variety in practice.
The App Is Where PUTTR Separates Itself
Plugged In Golf emphasized that the app is what elevates PUTTR beyond every other putting mat. Even the practice modes are gamified, putting pressure on every putt whether you're competing with a friend or tracking your own stats. They highlighted the ability to create your own custom games within the app as an unexpected bonus.
Unmatched Longevity
A standout observation: PUTTR's variety of games and modes means you never get bored. The reviewer noted monthly challenges, global tournaments, and the ability to scale difficulty up or down depending on your mood — easy short putt sessions when you want to relax, or demanding challenges when you want to push yourself.
Family Appeal
Perhaps the most telling detail in the review: in ten years of testing golf products, PUTTR was the first one that the reviewer's kids wanted to play with. That dual identity — serious training tool and genuinely fun family activity — gives PUTTR a unique dimension that no other putting mat can match.
The Verdict
Plugged In Golf concluded that while PUTTR is significantly more expensive than an ordinary putting mat, there's nothing comparable on the market. For golfers who need motivation to practice putting consistently — which is most of us — PUTTR delivers by making indoor putting genuinely enjoyable.
