Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a golf simulator for home in the UK?
A practice setup with a launch monitor and net starts from around £800. A full simulator with projected courses costs £3,000–£10,000. Premium systems with Foresight or TrackMan technology cost £15,000+. A purpose-built garden room with technology starts from around £15,000. See our complete pricing guide.
What is the best home golf simulator for beginners?
The Square Golf Launch Monitor (£700) paired with a SimSpace enclosure is our top recommendation for beginners. It's affordable, accurate enough to improve your game, and compatible with GSPro for full course play.
Can I set up a golf simulator in a small space?
The minimum practical space is 3m wide × 4m deep × 2.7m high. Our smallest Golf Den cabin, The Nano (4.3m × 3.2m), was designed as the minimum comfortable footprint. For very tight spaces, a launch monitor with a net (no projector) works in as little as 2.5m × 3m.
Do home golf simulators actually work well?
Modern launch monitors are remarkably accurate. Camera-based systems like the Foresight GC3 measure ball spin, launch angle and speed to within 1% accuracy. Paired with simulation software like GSPro or E6 Connect, the experience is realistic enough that tour professionals use simulators for practice.
What software do I need for a home golf simulator?
GSPro is the most popular choice — 200+ courses, online multiplayer, works with most launch monitors for an affordable subscription. E6 Connect and Foresight FSX offer premium graphics. Most launch monitors include basic software; simulation subscriptions typically cost £200–£400 per year.
