Your questions answered.
What is a golf simulator?
Put simply, a golf simulator is a combination of hardware and software that allows golfers to play and practice, without the need for a golf course or driving range.
They can range from basic DIY options powered by a mobile phone or tablet app, all the way up to a custom simulator building with a bespoke design and the most advanced launch monitor technology available in the industry. To learn more click here
How do golf simulators work?
At the heart of every golf simulator is a piece of technology attempting to measure the initial flight of the golf ball in order to accurately represent the full flight. That technology then connects with golf simulation software.
The software can either be projected onto a hitting screen, or viewed on a separate monitor while a ball is hit into a net. The measurement system is the most crucial factor in determining the realism and accuracy of a simulator solution.
It is the one thing that controls whether the experience is representative of the ball flight that the golfer would see when hitting balls outside.
How much is a golf simulator?
The price of our golf simulators can vary based on your own personal requirements, budget and room dimensions so we would recommend speaking with one of our Technology Experts who will help you narrow down the best option.
We can provide everything from just the launch monitor and software, just the enclosure and everything in between but our ready to go Sim-in-a-Box Play, which gives you everything you need for a simulator, starts from £9,990 ex VAT. For pricing please visit our online shop
How much ceiling height do I need for a golf simulator?
As a starting point we would recommend 3m high but a lot depends on factors, such as how tall the golfer is, how steep/flat their swing is, are they happy to only hit irons and not woods etc. For more information click here
What space do I need for a golf simulator?
We would recommend 3m high, 4m wide and 5m deep but the most truthful answer is ‘it depends’. The space needed for a simulator depends on several factors, such as how tall the golfer is, how steep/flat their swing is, will they need right and left-hand play?
Do they want a projected image? Are they happy to only hit irons and not woods? Are there any other obstructions in the room etc. The first and best port of call for anyone who wants to know whether the space they are considering would be suitable, is to try and swing a golf club in that space and if they can safely swing a golf club (taking into consideration the ball ricochet) then that is the first step to confirming that a solution is possible.

What components do i need for a golf simulator?
The exact list of components and parts in your golf simulator will largely be determined by your budget, space and personal preferences. The most basic requirements will be a simulator enclosure, an impact screen or net, hitting mat and/or turf, a launch monitor, simulation software, laptop and a projector if required.

Where can I put my golf simulator?
We have clients with golf simulators in a multitude of different locations and environments. These range from garden based net solutions, to simulators in garages, outbuildings, spare rooms, to commercial simulators in golf clubs, driving ranges and entertainment venues.

Is a golf simulator worth it?
Although most sim owners will use theirs in a fairly specific way, there are a huge number of uses and benefits of an indoor golf simulator. Golfers love the ability to play whenever they want, regardless of the weather or time of day. Golf simulator technology now provides an unprecedented platform with which to improve your golf, not to mention the capacity for socialising and family entertainment.
Are golf simulators accurate?
By capturing thousands of images per second, building a virtual 3D model, and then analysing a multitude of data components, our technology is able to create the most accurate and complete picture of your ball and club head performance. We then deliver the results via FSX Play, our next evolution of true-to-life graphics in golf simulation.
With a whole new graphics engine, you’ll experience the game like never before. Rich textures, 3D grass, enhanced lighting, updated UI and HUD, and ultra-smooth gameplay make you feel like you’re on the course, and know that the ball is doing what it would do if you were there.

Can a golf simulator improve your game?
A launch monitor is the only way to accurately provide feedback about the flight of the golf ball and the delivery of the golf club. For coaching, fitting, professional tours and for home users of all abilities, launch monitors are proving to be a vital asset to fully understand each aspect of a golfer’s game, especially when used in a simulator environment to allow golfers the ability to play whenever they want, regardless of the weather or time of day.
How do you putt on a golf simulator?
Our launch monitors are able to measure the same data points on the shortest putts as they can on the longest drive. This means that putting is just as accurate as any other part of the game during simulation play and a physical stroke can be made, just as on the course. Another option is to use auto putt or gimmes if you want to free up more time to focus on driving and longer shots.
