Plan and Setup Your Golf Simulator Room

This guide walks you through the essentials—step by step.

1. Pick the Right Screen Size

Screen size is usually optimized to match the height and width of your space. Choosing a screen that closely fits your room dimensions helps create a more immersive and realistic golf simulation experience. We suggest using a standard aspect ratio (16:9, 16:10, 4:3, or 1:1) so you can take full advantage of our golf projector’s feature and get a perfectly fitted image.

2. Know Your Golf Sim Essentials

c) Device with Software

A PC, laptop, or iPad is needed to run simulation software and render realistic golf scenarios. Make sure your software is compatible with your launch monitor.

d) Hitting Mat

With hitting mats, quality is everything. Indoor golfers hit more often, and a poor mat can cause strain. Look for mats with hitting inserts or built-in alignment aids.
