Pros and Cons from the first (most helpful review):

Pros:
- Super straight forward setup.
- Mat thickness lends it self to be quite durable.
- Turf thickness is nice and it plays to a fairway cut length.
- Net is perfect for *foam* (included) golf balls. No fear of damaging anything.
- Net has stakes for anchoring.
- 5x4' mat has 3 holes on 2 sides for the rubber tees.
- Tray holds up to 6 dozen of balls (piled up I'm sure)
- Breakdown of net is easier/faster than setup.
- Weight of mat is good. Won't blow away in wind and light enough to drag around.
- *Supposedly* 48 balls included in package. (More on that later)
- Net has a convenient carry bag.
- Width of net is great for those learning how to golf. Should catch many bad shanks if your net is relatively close.
- Shipping was tidy and efficient.

Cons:
- Net width may not allow setup in some spaces. Measure out accordingly.
- Mat has a split in the bottom where it was folded on the foam side to fit. The instructions say that this should fill/flatten out within a few days. I'm still waiting (1 week). This can make the middle of the mat feel like it has a sunken line running down the middle that can mess with your balance.
- Mat is 5x4'. It's not a square and could be essentially 2 spots to hit off of versus 4 when rotating the mat 90 degrees.
- Foam balls. This is a good thing for potential property damage. Bad thing for actual feel. You don't get the same feel because the ball weight isn't the same.
- The tray has a lip that slides underneath the mat to stay in place. The problem is that the lip creates a raised area under the mat which can play funny with the ball lie. It is also plastic so it's durable but kind of cheap/kiddo feeling.
- Mat thickness and softness creates a bit of a balance mat feel under your feet, which may be annoying at first but it should actually help with your long term stability.
- ***I only received 24 balls*** in the shipment. I was expecting 48 because the Costco description states that it comes with 4 dozen. Instead of the second pack of 2 dozen balls, there was a pack of wide top tees - which I won't end up using.
- Net doesn't seem like it could handle real golf balls. Reviews on the companies' website verify this. So don't use real balls, unless you have reinforcements in place - or hate your neighbors.

I have this set and agree completely. I DO use regular golf balls and have purchased a reinforcement net to supplement it so I don't kill my neighbors. I also shrunk it down from a 10' net to a 7' for size restrictions and it still works great!
