Home golf simulators

Golf simulators.

Pebble Beach before breakfast, a swing session at midnight, all without leaving the house.

A home golf simulator turns a spare room, garage or garden room into a place to play world-famous courses and track every detail of your swing, whatever the weather. We design and install the whole thing as one finished room, tuned so it plays beautifully from the first ball.

Why have one built

More than a screen and a mat.

You can buy a net and a monitor online. A designed simulator is a room that plays accurately, looks the part, and that you actually want to spend time in.

Play and practise any time

The course is always open and the weather never matters. A round before work, a swing session at midnight, whatever suits.

Real data, a better game

A launch monitor measures the club and the ball at impact: carry, spin, club path, face angle. Practice stops being guesswork.

A room for everyone

Closest to the pin with friends, target games for the children, other sports, films. It gets used far more than the golf alone would justify.

It adds to the home

A spare room, a garage or a garden room becomes a genuine feature rather than storage with a net in it.

Will it fit

The first question is always the room.

Most people are surprised how little space it takes. It comes down to three measurements, shown here from the side, and we survey before promising anything fits.

Schematic, not to scale. We do not publish minimum dimensions, because what a room needs depends on the launch monitor. The survey answers it properly.

Ceiling height

The one that matters most. Room to swing a driver freely overhead, and usually the deciding factor in whether a room works at all.

Width

Room to swing comfortably, ideally for both right and left-handers, with nobody standing near a wall.

Depth

Space for the ball to fly and the monitor to read it. Depth is what decides which launch monitors suit the room.

What goes into one

The parts that make it play well.

A simulator is only as good as its weakest part. We specify each piece to suit your room, game and budget, then make them work as one.

01 The launch monitor, the brain

It reads the club and the ball at impact, and it sets the accuracy, the data you get and a good part of the cost. Which one suits depends largely on how much depth the room has, which is why the survey comes before the shopping list.

02 Screen, projector and enclosure, the picture

A tensioned impact screen takes the hit and shows the course. A bright projector fills it properly. The enclosure frames the whole thing and catches stray balls, which matters more than people expect.

03 Hitting mat and flooring, underfoot

A quality hitting surface that is kind to your joints and your clubs, set into a floor finished to match the room rather than a mat sitting on carpet.

04 Software, lighting and sound, the experience

Course software, lighting set so it never washes out the screen, and sound that puts you on the course. This is the part that turns a working simulator into a room you want to be in.

Where to start

From a compact bay to a full bespoke room.

Every simulator is designed around your room and your game, but most projects start from one of three points.

Tightest space, smallest budget Showpiece room
01 Compact

The practice bay

A tidy, space-savvy setup for practice and casual play, fitted where space is tight. The most affordable way in, done properly.

Good for: Solo practice, tighter rooms, a first simulator.

02 Mid

The play room

A proper room for full rounds and friends: a better monitor, a full enclosure, considered lighting and sound. The sweet spot for most homes.

Good for: Rounds with friends, family use, a dedicated room.

03 Full bespoke

The bespoke suite

A showpiece room or garden room built around the simulator, with a top-tier monitor, bespoke finishes, integrated lighting, seating and AV.

Good for: Garden rooms, new builds, a true centrepiece.

Part of the bigger picture

A simulator by day, a cinema by night.

That big impact screen and projector make a fine home cinema too. Because we install cinema, audio and smart home as well, we can set the room to switch from a round of golf to a film with the lighting and sound to match, and tie it into the rest of the house.

[ the same room set up as a cinema, one room two lives ]
Home cinema

The screen, projector and sound that drive your golf double as a proper home cinema. One scene switches the room from the back nine to film night, with the picture, lighting and audio set to suit, so a single space genuinely earns its keep twice over.

Also pairs with multi-room audio, smart lighting and media walls.

Why us and what it costs

Why have us build it.

A box of kit you can order yourself. A room that plays beautifully, looks the part and lasts is designed, built and tuned.

We start with the room

A survey first, then a design that fits the space, rather than a kit that does not suit it.

Independent on the kit

We specify the monitor, screen and software that suit your game and budget, not one brand we happen to be tied to.

Built and finished properly

Enclosure, flooring, lighting and AV delivered as a finished room, with the cabling hidden and the technology tuned.

Tied into the home

The room doubles as a cinema and joins the rest of the house, handled by one team rather than three trades pointing at each other.

Priced around your room, not off a shelf.

There is no single price for a home golf simulator, because no two rooms or projects are the same. What moves it:

  • Which launch monitor and software
  • A compact bay or a full bespoke room
  • Screen, enclosure and finish
  • An existing room, or a new garden room build

We survey the space and give a clear, itemised quote, so you know exactly what you are getting before anything is ordered.

Come and hit a few balls.

Try a simulator in our showroom, or book a consultation and we will design one around your room. No jargon, no pressure.

Frequently asked

Golf simulators: quick answers.

What is the best home golf simulator in the UK?
There is no single best home golf simulator for everyone, because the right one depends on your room, your game and your budget. The launch monitor is the heart of it, and the best choice is driven largely by how much depth your room has and how much data you want. As independent installers we design the right system for your space rather than pushing one brand, and the honest first step is always a look at the room.
How much does it cost to build a home golf simulator?
It depends on the launch monitor and software, whether it is a compact practice bay or a full bespoke room, the screen, enclosure and finish, and whether you are using an existing room or building a garden room for it. A tidy practice setup is a modest project. A showpiece bespoke suite is a larger one. We survey the space and give a clear, itemised quote before anything is ordered, rather than a one-size price.
How much space do I need for a golf simulator?
Three measurements matter. Ceiling height, meaning enough room to swing a driver freely overhead, which is usually the deciding factor. Width, meaning room to swing comfortably, ideally for both right and left-handers. And depth, meaning space for the ball to fly and the monitor to read it. Many homes have a suitable spare room, garage or loft, and where there is not one, a garden room is an excellent answer. We survey before promising anything fits.
Can you build a golf simulator in a garden room?
Yes, and it is one of the best options when the house cannot spare a room. A purpose-built garden room or outbuilding gives you the ceiling height, the quiet and the dedicated space a simulator wants, and we design the simulator and the room around it together so the proportions are right from the start.
Is a cheaper home golf simulator any good?
A more affordable, compact setup done properly can be excellent for practice and casual play, and it is a sensible way in. The honest difference at the lower end is in the launch monitor's accuracy and the finish of the room. We will always tell you where it is worth spending and where it is not, so a smaller budget still buys something that plays well.
Can the room be used for anything besides golf?
Yes. The screen and projector make a fine home cinema, and the software includes other sports and target games for the family. Set up as part of your smart home, one scene switches the room from golf to a film, which is a large part of why a designed room earns its place.
