A putting green assembly comprising:
- a playing mat having a putting end, a ball cup end, and a ball cup in said ball cup end;
- means for adjusting a topography of said playing mat, wherein said adjusting means includes a flexible frame structure extending at least partially around the perimeter of and supporting said playing mat, a lattice fixed over said playing mat, and at least one elongated member extending along said lattice and fixed to said frame structure for manually raising or lowering said frame structure and said supported playing mat, thereby adjusting the topography of said playing mat;
- and
- ball return means for inclining said ball cup end of said playing mat toward said putting end, thereby changing the topography of said playing mat and gravitationally causing all putted balls on said ball cup end to return to said putting end.
