Start with the free 8-page Quick-Start Guide, move to the complete 18-page DIY guide, then use the planning pages for garage, basement, spare-room, or dedicated indoor simulator decisions.
Learn what to think about before choosing a simulator setup: ceiling height, hitting distance, screen width, side clearance, swing room, projector location, and where the launch monitor needs to sit.
GolfSimMaker helps organize the major choices that go into a home golf simulator build, from launch monitors and impact screens to hitting mats, projectors, turf, netting, and enclosure options.
A good simulator build starts with a realistic budget. GolfSimMaker helps golfers compare budget, mid-range, and premium simulator setups before they buy.
Start with the space, match the equipment to the room, then use the free guides and planning pages to build smarter.
Start with your room dimensions, ceiling height, swing clearance, and whether the build will live in a garage, basement, spare room, or dedicated simulator bay.
Compare the types of launch monitors, screens, mats, enclosures, projectors, turf, and software that fit your available space and budget.
Use the GolfSimMaker guides and planning pages to avoid common layout mistakes, spacing problems, poor screen choices, and mismatched hardware.
