Why Our Disc Golf Tee Pads are Right for Your Athletic Program
High school coaches, college coaches, club coaches, athletic directors, and sports facility managers all understand that a disc golf hole is only as good as its starting point. The tee box is the most high-traffic area of any course, and without a stabilized surface, it quickly becomes a muddy, uneven hazard that ruins an athlete's footing and increases the risk of ankle injuries. Traditional concrete pads are expensive, difficult to install in remote areas, and permanent. Our heavy-duty rubber tee pads offer the perfect professional middle ground. Engineered from thick, recycled rubber runway material, these pads provide a high-traction, non-skid surface that remains reliable in both rain and shine, ensuring your athletes can commit to every drive with 100% confidence.

We stock the most reliable and highly sought-after course equipment on Google to ensure your disc golf facility is safe, durable, and professional.
- Instant Roll-Out Rubber Tee Pads: Our specialized 4-foot by 12-foot pads are the preferred choice for volunteer-built and institutional courses. At 12mm thick, they are heavy enough to lay flat on packed gravel or dirt while remaining resilient enough to withstand the elements and thousands of high-velocity rotations. This material is repurposed from high-quality recycled rubber, making it an environmentally responsible choice for park and school settings.
- Low-Maintenance Installation: One of the primary reasons facility managers choose our rubber mats is the speed of deployment. Unlike concrete or pavers, these pads require virtually no advanced preparation. They can be rolled out, trimmed with a simple razor blade if needed, and even moved if you decide to redesign a hole’s layout in the future.
- Customizable and Durable Surfaces: For programs looking to brand their course, our rubber material can be painted using specialized two-component PU line paint. Whether you need a standard 42-inch width or a full-size tournament mat, these pads are engineered to provide a consistent, slip-resistant launchpad that won't crack or crumble like stone or cement.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should I choose rubber tee pads over concrete or pavers?
Rubber tee pads are significantly less expensive than pouring concrete and require no specialized labor to install. They are also much more forgiving on an athlete’s joints during the high-torque rotation of a drive. Most importantly, if you ever need to change the layout of your course, rubber pads can be easily picked up and moved, whereas concrete is permanent.
2. What are the dimensions of a standard Morley Athletic disc golf tee pad?
Our standard institutional tee pad is 4 feet wide by 12 feet long and 12mm thick. This size provides ample room for a full run-up and follow-through, accommodating even the most aggressive throwing styles of collegiate-level players.
3. How do I install these rubber mats on a dirt or grass surface?
For the best results, we recommend clearing the area of large rocks and laying down a thin, leveled base of packed gravel or stone dust. The weight of the 12mm rubber mat is usually enough to keep it flat and in place, but for added security, you can use ground stakes or lag bolts through the corners to prevent shifting during heavy use.
4. Are these tee pads slip-resistant when wet?
Yes. Our pads are made from a high-traction rubber material designed specifically for athletic use. The surface texture is engineered to provide a reliable grip under both dry and wet conditions, preventing the "slick" surface often associated with smooth concrete or worn-down grass.
5. Can the rubber material be cut to fit specific tee box areas?
Absolutely. While our standard pads are 4' x 12', the material can be easily trimmed on-site using a standard heavy-duty razor blade. This allows you to customize the shape or length of the pad to fit tight spots between trees or specialized course markers.
6. Do you offer discounts for full 18-hole course orders?
Yes. We understand that outfitting a full course is a significant investment for any athletic department or club. We offer discounted pricing for orders of 18 pads or more, and we are happy to provide customized freight quotes for these heavy shipments to help keep your project within budget.
