How to Set Up a Home Golf Simulator: Complete Guide from 24/7 Golf

Thinking about installing a home golf simulator? Whether you're a scratch golfer looking to refine your swing year-round or a weekend player aiming to add more practice time, building a home golf simulator setup is the ultimate way to improve your game without leaving the house.

This guide from 24/7 Golf answers the most common questions like:

  • What do I need for a home golf simulator?

  • How much space is required?

  • Which golf simulator is best for small rooms or garages?

  • How do I install a golf simulator at home?

Let’s walk through everything you need to know — from planning and gear selection to installation and final touches.

1. What Equipment Do You Need for a Home Golf Simulator?

To create a complete indoor golf simulator setup, you’ll need the following core components:

  • Launch Monitor – Tracks ball flight data like distance, spin, and launch angle. Top picks include SkyTrak+, Rapsodo MLM2 Pro, and Bushnell Launch Pro.

  • Simulator Software – Delivers immersive course play and practice features. Popular options include E6 Connect, GSPro, and TGC 2019.

  • Golf Hitting Enclosure or Net – Protects your surroundings and provides a realistic backdrop. 24/7 Golf offers full enclosures and compact return nets for tight spaces.

  • Impact Screen & Projector – Projects the virtual course onto your hitting screen. Look for short-throw projectors for limited-depth rooms.

  • Hitting Mat – Simulates real turf conditions and protects your flooring.

  • Computer or Tablet – Runs the software and connects to the launch monitor.

Optional upgrades:

  • Turf flooring, putting green integration, swing cameras, sound systems, or smart lighting.

2. How Much Space Do You Need for a Golf Simulator?

The ideal home simulator space allows for a full, unimpeded swing and comfortable movement. Here's what to consider:

  • Minimum Room Dimensions:

    • Width: 3.5m (12ft)

    • Depth: 5.5m (18ft)

    • Height: 2.8m (9ft) — ceiling height is crucial for full swings with a driver.

For smaller areas like garages or spare rooms, 24/7 Golf’s Compact Golf Simulator Enclosures are specifically designed to make the most of tight spaces without sacrificing realism.

3. Step-by-Step Golf Simulator Installation Guide

Setting up a golf simulator at home can be done in a day with the right prep. Here’s the process:

  1. Choose Your Space – Measure dimensions and confirm ceiling height.

  2. Pick the Right Package – 24/7 Golf offers complete simulator bundles tailored to your room size and budget.

  3. Assemble the Enclosure – Follow our included video instructions or contact support for setup tips.

  4. Install the Screen & Mount Projector – Ensure the projector is aligned and image fills the impact screen.

  5. Connect Your Launch Monitor & Software – Calibrate for accurate ball tracking.

  6. Test and Fine-Tune – Make sure everything runs smoothly before your first round.
