The preferred embodiment of the putting target includes a rectangular base portion, a circular center depression, a center fencing wall, at least one overrun depression, and at least one overrun fencing wall. The circular center depression is formed in a raised upper surface of the base portion and simulates an actual golf hole. The center fencing wall, overrun depression or depression and overrun fencing wall or walls act to affect and collect golf balls that have been putted toward the putting target with the incorrect speed or precision. The putting target may be included in a kit that includes one or more putting mats with each putting mat defining a putting surface and each putting surface defining a selected texture to simulate actual putting conditions. The putting target may also be used to play a competitive putting game.
