Sarasota used to have grass. They’d move the tee boxes as an area got beat up until just the mats were left. They were heavily used. They eventually gave up on maintaining the grass and now it’s just mats. I too can’t hit off mats and the tees they have are higher than I tee up on the course. You can buy cone shaped tees of various heights and use those on the mats. I do.
