Mats forgive a fat shot; grass does not. That is exactly why better players look for a grass line — the turf tells the truth about contact, and the divot shows what the club did. Grass lines are also finite: a range rotates the tee area and closes it to recover, so the line that was open last weekend may be roped off this one.

Good to know
Are grass driving ranges better than mats?
For feedback, yes — a mat lets the club skid into the ball and still produce a decent shot, hiding heavy contact. Mats are easier on the joints and available year-round, so many players use both.
Why do driving ranges close the grass tees?
To let the turf recover. A tee line takes thousands of divots a week, so ranges rotate the area and rope off sections, and close grass entirely when the ground is soft.
Do I need different shoes for grass tees?
Golf shoes help on wet grass, while sneakers are fine on mats. Metal spikes are refused at most modern facilities.
