Build Your Own DIY Golf Simulator with Expert Support
Creating your own golf simulator can be one of the most rewarding ways to enjoy the game at home. A DIY golf simulator gives you the flexibility to build a setup that suits your space, budget and playing goals while enjoying the satisfaction of creating it yourself....
Build the Perfect Golf Simulator for Your Space
Every golfer has different requirements.
Some are looking for a compact setup that allows them to practise regularly at home. Others want to create a dedicated simulator room capable of delivering an immersive playing experience throughout the year.
A DIY golf simulator gives you complete control over how your space is used. You can choose the components that matter most to you, expand the system over time and create an environment that fits naturally within your property.
With the right planning and guidance, a DIY setup can deliver an exceptional golfing experience while remaining tailored to your individual needs.
Why Choose a DIY Golf Simulator?
Build at Your Own Pace
One of the biggest advantages of a DIY golf simulator is flexibility.
Rather than completing the entire project at once, many golfers prefer to build their simulator in stages. This allows you to spread costs over time while gradually creating the setup you want.
You can begin with the essential components and expand your simulator as your requirements evolve.
Tailored to Your Space
Every room presents different opportunities and challenges.
A DIY golf simulator allows you to create a setup that works with the available dimensions and layout of your property. Whether you are working with a garage, spare room, basement or dedicated golf space, the system can be configured around your environment.
This level of flexibility helps maximise performance while making the most of the available space.
Choose the Right Components
Not all simulator equipment delivers the same experience.
The quality of the launch monitor, impact screen, enclosure, flooring and software can have a significant influence on performance and enjoyment. We help golfers select components that work well together and provide long-term value.
This removes much of the uncertainty that often comes with planning a DIY project.
Enjoy a More Personal Experience
Building your own golf simulator allows you to create a space that reflects your preferences and priorities.
From the room layout to the technology you choose, every decision contributes to an environment that feels uniquely yours. Many golfers enjoy the process of designing and developing a simulator room just as much as using it once complete.

The ideal room size depends on the golfer's height, swing style and the technology being used. As a general guide, we recommend a minimum ceiling height of 2.9m, room width of 3.5m and room depth of 5.5m. Larger rooms provide a more comfortable experience and allow for greater flexibility when selecting launch monitor technology. An ideal room would measure 4.8m wide x 3m high x 6m deep.

Absolutely. We regularly assist clients during the planning stage, helping determine room dimensions, electrical requirements, lighting, flooring and technology choices.
There is no single best solution. The right technology depends on your goals, budget and available space. We work with leading brands including Trackman, Uneekor, TruGolf, GolfJoy and K-Golf to ensure we can recommend the most suitable solution.
Different launch monitors excel in different areas. Some prioritise simulation accuracy, some offer advanced club data, while others provide exceptional value for money. Offering multiple brands allows us to recommend the right solution rather than forcing clients into a single ecosystem. However, we don’t work with every brand on the market, only with those we strongly believe offer the best solutions for each client.
Trackman is widely regarded as one of the most accurate and trusted launch monitors in the world. It is used extensively by professional golfers, coaches and club fitters. However, depending on your needs, other technologies may offer advantages in specific situations. In many cases Trackman offers our clients the best possible solution for their project.
Trackman uses sophisticated dual-radar technology and provides highly detailed ball flight and club data. It is trusted by many of the world's leading golf professionals and coaching facilities. Trackman IO now also offers a Home package that has a reduced number of golf courses and slightly limited functionality which makes its price point more comparable to other available brands.
Trackman primarily uses radar technology, while Uneekor uses high-speed camera systems. Both provide excellent performance, but the best choice often depends on room dimensions, intended use, software preferences and budget.
Many modern systems accommodate both left and right-handed golfers. We can recommend the most suitable options depending on how frequently both player types will use the simulator. More important is the space that is available for the golf simulator as this will determine which left and right-handed options can be used.
