What to Know Before Installing a Personal Golf Simulator at Home?

In today's fast-paced world, more and more golf enthusiasts are opting to install a personal golf simulator at home—saving time while maintaining and improving their skills. This guide will walk you through the key considerations when selecting and installing an indoor golf simulator system, helping you create your own dedicated golf space.

Space Requirements: Plan Your Swing Area Wisely

Installing a personal golf simulator requires careful planning around three critical dimensions: height, width, and depth. Based on different site conditions, we recommend the following layout options:

Minimum space: 3.5m (W) × 6m (L) × 2.8m (H) (For compact areas without a seating zone)

Standard space: 4m (W) × 7m (L) × 3m (H) (Allows for a small seating/rest area)

Ideal space: 5m (W) × 9m (L) × 3.2m (H) (Room for sofas, tables, and a comfortable leisure setup)

While villa owners usually have ample space, even standard homes can accommodate a simulator with smart planning. We recommend having a professional on-site assessment to ensure optimal space utilization and safe swing clearance.

Core Components: Professional-Grade Equipment for a Realistic Experience

A complete indoor golf system typically includes the following essential components:

Protective flooring system

Specialized impact-absorbing mats protect your flooring and reduce the risk of injury from rebounding golf balls traveling at high speeds.
