I have seen people do this for winter play, never have played on ice and snow myself but I will say that I have the absolute perfect mat for winter time play. It is an old door mat, a large door mat maybe 3 x 5 feet, made of brown coconut fibers. I use it in the winter for hitting balls into a net off of the dormant bermuda grass in my back yard, so I don't tear up the grass too much. It is tough enough to hold up to the beating it takes with a club, it is softer than any plastic turf mat, it feels just exactly like hitting off of soft turf and it is heavy enough that it doesn't move around when a ball is hit off it, and it is stiff enough that when the ground gets a little wet it stays rigid and gives a more stable hitting surface. This mat would be perfect for hitting off frozen ground.
