The difficulties of winter golf hardly need explaining. The fairways are muddy, the air is biting, and even through three layers of thermals, your hands feel like they’re gripping the club through sheets of ice. Yet we all still head out, because that pure, crisp strike – and the sight of your ball soaring towards the flag – is worth every shiver.
But if there’s one frustration that unites winter golfers across the UK, it’s the dreaded fairway mat. That uninspiring rectangle of rubber and turf that flaps, slips, and feels nothing like the grass beneath your feet. Every mis-hit feels amplified. Every shot feels… off.
Introducing Spurk Golf
Back in 2017, two lifelong golfers had finally had enough. After one too many ruined winter rounds, the pair decided to do something about the state of fairway mats. Their solution became Spurk Golf – a brand born out of frustration but refined through innovation and passion for the game.
Today, hundreds of golf clubs across the UK rely on Spurk Golf mats to keep members swinging confidently through winter, protecting fairways while preserving that authentic feel of a proper strike. Greenkeepers love the results on the ground. Golfers love the results in their hands.
Built by golfers, for golfers
Spurk Golf’s patented design has revolutionised what a fairway mat can be. Each mat is crafted using high-quality curled synthetic turf with a durable latex backing, pressure-bonded to an injection-moulded PCABS base – a material chosen for its impact resistance and slim profile (5mm, to be exact).
The secret lies beneath the surface. Six perfectly angled spikes lock the mat securely into the turf, preventing any slipping or shifting during your swing. That means consistent contact, a truer strike, and the confidence to commit to every shot, whatever the weather.
There’s also a subtle, tapered rear wedge built into the base. It not only makes the mat appear lower and more natural at address, but also protects the back edge of the turf for long-lasting durability.
Choice of fairway feel
Because every course – and every golfer – is different, Spurk Golf offers two distinct mat types designed to replicate the conditions you love to play on.

Keeping golfers happy
What Spurk Golf has achieved isn’t just a clever product – it’s a culture shift. Clubs now see mats not as a necessary evil but as a way to keep fairways pristine and members happy all winter long. Greenkeepers are thrilled with the course protection. Golfers are thrilled they can play proper golf, all year round.
So this winter, don’t let boggy fairways or wobbly mats dampen your game. Switch to Spurk Golf and rediscover that pure, summer-like strike – no matter how grim the winter weather gets.
