Creating a golf simulation room at home can be an exciting project for golf enthusiasts. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set up your own golf sim room.
1. Choose the Right Space for Your Golf Room
Look for a room with enough height, width, and length to accommodate your simulator setup.
Consider a basement, garage, or spare room that can be dedicated to your golf room.
2. Measure Your Space
Ensure there’s enough space for your simulator, hitting area, and any additional equipment.
Standard golf simulators require a minimum of 10 feet in height and 12 feet in width but Impact Sports store offers options for rooms heights of 8'2.5" and higher.
3. Select Your Golf Simulator Launch Monitor
The launch monitor is the central point of the golf simulator. Things to consider when selecting your golf simulator launch monitor are budget, versatility and installation. Impact Sports offers low, mid and high-ranging launch monitors so there is an option for every budget and ever unique need.
4. Install Impact Screens
Purchase an Impact Sports high-quality impact screen that can withstand ball strikes.
Mount the screen securely to avoid any sagging or damage. You can also purchase a full golf sim enclosure.
5. Set Up the Hitting Mat
Choose a durable hitting mat that mimics real grass.
Position it in front of the impact screen, ensuring it’s stable and level.
6. Walls, and Sound
If you are going with an impact screen instead of an enclosure you may want to consider adding foam wall padding. This is for safety but can also be a noise barrier.
7. Additional Equipment
Invest in a good quality golf club set for practice.
Consider accessories like a launch monitor, golf balls, and a projector for a more immersive experience.
8. Decor and Comfort
Add personal touches such as golf memorabilia, posters, or themed decor.
Ensure comfortable seating for spectators or downtime between rounds.
9. Test and Enjoy Your New Golf Room
Once everything is set up, conduct a test run to ensure all equipment is functioning properly.
Invite friends or family for a fun golf simulation experience!
With careful planning and execution, you can create a fantastic golf sim room that will provide hours of entertainment and practice. Happy golfing!
