• Easy & fast to set up & take down – Thorough instructions, along with ample video instruction on the website are included. But, you can easily get by by following the color coding on the frame. 
• Easy storage – Comes in a nice duffle bag so you can easily bring anywhere you like

FAQs

What is the best net in golf?

Net Return makes the best nets. Not particularly close. 

Are backyard golf nets worth it?

Yes…if having one gets you to practice more often and assuming you know what you’re doing. 

What size golf net should I get?

Minimum of ~7 feet high by 8 feet wide. I prefer higher nets to catch skyed drives and wedges. 

Are golf chipping nets worth it?

As always, depends how much you commit yourself to using it. They aren’t expensive, so it’s not a big dent in your wallet. You can always just throw out a towel or something else to use as a target. 

How long do golf nets last?

Premium golf nets should last for years and years. Decent quality nets that you pull in out of the weather should also last a few years. 

Does practicing with foam golf balls help?

They mostly help with grooving contact and allow you to take full swings and keep the ball in your yard.

How do you set up a golf net at home?

Your net should come with a decent set of instructions. The better the net the better the instructions…usually. 

Verdict

Net Return nets are our hands-down favorite golf nets. Their quality and durability are unsurpassed.

The best nets cost quite a bit, but their durability and lifetime value should make you feel just a bit better about their price.
