Much thinner than on any driving range, and placed directly onto a concrete pad. So you never can get under the ball and spin it. Even high lob shots tend to roll over the back of the greens. Pitch and run attempts will challenge your luck. I would suggest bringing some sort of tee that will allow you to hit off the mat tee boxes. Otherwise, you will find these very short holes to be unusually difficult!
I agree about the mats, nothing more than a pain to me, certainly could have had some built-in tee
