Editorial guide to home golf simulators
Build a home golf simulator without the second-guessing.
Plainspoken guidance on launch monitors, hitting mats, enclosures, projectors, and the rest. Tell us your budget and your room. We’ll tell you what to buy and, more usefully, what to skip.

Build your simulator in two minutes
Five questions. One tailored build with retailer links.
We ask about your budget, your room, and how you’ll use it. We return a complete build — launch monitor, mat, enclosure, projector, software, PC — with the reasoning behind every pick and the alternatives we considered.
Why trust us
We sell nothing. We recommend things, and we tell you the tradeoffs.
Every recommendation lists the alternatives we considered and the reason they lost. We don’t take payments from manufacturers. Our affiliate relationships are with retailers, who set their own commission rates — and those rates don’t shape our picks.
