You'll find golf simulators in all shapes and sizes, and they'll fit pretty much any budget - from basic $5,000 setups to premium systems that cost over $100,000. Just starting? You can get going with a simple entry-level package that pairs a FlightScope MEVO+ launch monitor ($1,954) with a hitting mat and net. Looking for something fancier? Check out the mid-range systems ($10,000-$20,000) with better tracking technology and nicer screens.
You'll get the ultimate experience with premium setups featuring Indoor Golf Design's luxury gear - from TrackMan launch monitors to crystal-clear 4K projectors and custom enclosures. Just be sure you have enough room - you'll need at least 16' x 22' x 12' to make it all work. Building your dream simulator is about understanding how all the pieces fit together to create your perfect indoor golf setup.
Setting up a golf simulator comes down to four main costs: the enclosure, launch monitor, software, and accessories. You'll need to spend anywhere from $5,000 for a basic net to over $50,000 for a premium room with custom impact screens and projectors. While that might seem steep upfront, you won't have many maintenance costs to worry about later.
The launch monitor - the real brain of your setup - starts at around $1,954 for options like the FlightScope MEVO+. To go high-end with a Foresight Sports unit, you must invest over $10,000. Software costs can vary too. Sometimes it's bundled with your hardware, but premium packages with detailed stats and virtual courses can cost up to $3,000.
Don't forget about furniture and accessories - while they're optional, they'll help transform your practice space into a comfortable spot where you can really enjoy your golf. If you're on the fence about professional installation, it's worth considering. We've been installing simulators at Indoor Golf Design for over 20 years, with 100's of setups under our belt.
Building a golf simulator doesn't have to break the bank. You can create a home setup for around $5,000 thanks to better technology.
You'll need a good hitting surface to start. We offer various sizes and types of hitting mats at Indoor Golf Design to fit your space. You can use a Garmin R10 to track your shots - they usually cost about $699. Add a hitting net or basic impact screen, and you're almost there. The final piece is the software, which runs about $250 annually and lets you play realistic virtual rounds.
If you're a golfer looking for more accuracy than budget options but don't want to break the bank, mid-range simulators offer pro-grade gear at reasonable prices. These systems typically cost between $15,000 and $50,000 and come with advanced launch monitors that'll track everything from your clubhead speed to ball spin and launch angle with impressive accuracy. The radar technology does a great job tracking your ball's path too.
At the heart of your setup, you'll get a solid enclosure with quality impact screens and a bright, crystal-clear projector that makes virtual courses look stunning. The software is a step up, too - though you'll need to pay about $250 - $450 a year for a subscription. That'll give you access to more courses and detailed stats to help improve your indoor game. Installing it by Indoor Golf Design will ensure everything's lined up perfectly and working at its best.
Setting up a luxury golf simulator isn't cheap - you're looking at $25,000 to $150,000 for a premium system. But you'll get your money's worth with top-notch launch monitors from brands like TrackMan, Uneekor, TruGolf, Full Swing or Foresight Sports that track every swing down to 0.1 degrees. The modular enclosure panels can fit any space you've got in mind. You'll also get amazing 4K projection systems paired with high-end impact screens that won't drive your neighbors crazy, thanks to their cushioned, noise-reducing design. The high-end gaming PC has high-quality software that processes your swing details while delivering stunning graphics. Sure, it's a serious investment, but you're bringing Pebble Beach into your home - and with professional installation and custom solutions, you'll get exactly what you want.
Whether you've gone budget-friendly (making your spouse question your sanity) or splurged on a pricier pro simulator than your first car, you're all set to perfect your swing at home. You don't need to spend big money to improve your game - but if you do, hey, at least you'll have bragging rights at the club!
