Best Golf Simulator Packages of 2024

The Best Home Golf Simulators

If you follow golf accounts on social media, you've probably noticed that home golf simulators have become significantly more popular over the past couple of years. Similarly, if you read Golf Digest or watch The Golf Channel, chances are you've learned how tour pros and teaching professionals are taking advantage of the instant feedback and data provided by golf simulators and launch monitors to improve their game.

Some of the best swing coaches in the world are turning to indoor golf simulators to optimize their teaching or practice sessions. Some argue that it outshines range sessions for perfecting your swing. Check out this Golf Digest Article by Michael Breed to learn 8 tips for working on your swing on your simulator, and why it's better than the range.

Whether it's speed training, or drilling techniques to work on club path and attack angle, the two most important factors to making progress are:

  1. Consistent Practice
  2. Accurate Data to reference and track improvement

Having an accurate home golf simulator can be the ultimate unlock to game improvement, putting both of those things right at your fingertips: It allows you to practice at your convenience. As little as 10-20 swings per day when you have an extra couple of minutes will help you improve dramatically. And it gives you instant data feedback to use to notice your patterns.

The best thing about it? Our golf simulator kits allow you to practice and play golf in your home, regardless of the weather outside.

Golf Simulator Package FAQ

How much space do I need?

Golf Simulator Ceiling Height and Space Requirements

This is the most common question we receive from customers building out their golf simulator for the first time. But the answer is a bit like your golf swing - it varies! It depends on factors like your height and your swing, as well as what equipment you want to use (like enclosure size, launch monitor, hitting mat or SimGreen, etc.).

While there's not a one-size-fits-all answer, a typical simulator setup can fit in most spaces as long as it meets some minimum requirements:

  1. At least 9' ceilings
  2. 16' of depth
  3. And 12' wide

These are just our general minimum requirements. The more space you have the better! It's very important that you make sure you can swing a driver in your space comfortably. It's common to need higher than 9' ceilings (like us!).

How do I pick the right golf simulator?

Choosing the right golf simulator is completely dependent on your needs and available space. There are a few important things to consider:

  • Budget
  • Portable Launch Monitor vs Overhead Launch Monitor
  • Available Space
  • Safety features
  • Golf Simulation Software
  • Do you want an ultra-realistic experience? Or just a setup to work on your swing?

Considering these factors should help you narrow down your search, allowing you to choose the right simulator for your needs. If you're still unsure after thinking through some of these factors, feel free to contact us and we will be more than happy to do a free consultation to help you find the best golf simulator for your space.

Can I put together my simulator myself?

Putting together the SGPro Golf Simulator Enclosure can take you a few hours but it is absolutely a project that most can tackle by themselves. Assembly for our enclosure is straightforward and comparable to many “DIY” enclosures on the market. Plus, all tools needed for assembly come with your enclosure.

How long does it take to setup my golf simulator? 

Our SGPro series of golf simulator enclosures take our average customers about 3 hours to complete, regardless of whether you go with the SGPro 10, SGPro 12, or SGPro 14.

Our SimGreen is simple to setup and takes most of our customers 30-60 minutes to complete.

Total installation time can vary and depends on what combination of projector mount and simulator flooring options you choose. Typically, it takes anywhere from 3-5 hours to complete a golf simulator installation.

What’s the best projector mount for my setup?

Our team’s favorite simulator projector mount is the SG SimRail due to not having to drill any holes into the ceiling and also keeping the projector off of the floor. The SG SimShield is a great option for the golfer who doesn’t want to mount anything to their ceiling and is great for those with lower ceiling heights (9’). However, if your simulator package is already up against the top end of your budget and you don't mind installing a mount to your ceiling, then the standard ceiling mount will work for most people.

What all do I need for a golf simulator?

Building your own golf simulator is easier that it may seem. You just need a few essential components, and a few hours to set everything up.


Here's what you need:

  1. Golf Launch Monitor
  2. Simulator Software
  3. Computer or Mobile Device compatible with the software
  4. Net or Impact Screen
  5. Projector
  6. Hitting Mat
  7. Side Netting
