items We live in Canada and always miss golfing during the winter months, so my husband and I decided to turn our garage into an at-home simulator and it was the BEST investment ever. The entire project cost us around $3000 ($1000 of that was for a gaming ...

Launch Monitors & Technology
These are the launch monitors and tech tools I recommend for building a solid golf simulator setup. They track accurate data, give reliable feedback, and help improve swing consistency, speed, and performance.
This is one of the best investments my husband and I have made. We turned our garage into a golf simulator and, after much research, invested in this and it's been amazing. The best part is that it is cordless so you can take it to the driving range ...
Garmin Portable Golf Launch Monitor
I love our Garmin launch monitor, but it doesn’t allow us to putt, so we are upgrading to this baby!! We have tried it out and it’s amazing! I can’t wait for ours to arrive!!
Square Golf Launch Monitor / Golf Simulator (pre-order)
We love this projector for our simi. It has zero lag time and projects super clearly onto the impact screen. And when we're not golfing we watch our Toronto Maple Leafs play in full size… it's amazing. Note: Your projector MUST BE a short throw proje...
BenQ Sort Throw Projector
In order to run the golf simulator software, you'll need a gaming laptop with a minimum of 16GB of memory. We bought this one on sale and it's been perfect.

Software
These are the highest rated golf simulator software programs I like because they give realistic visuals, accurate data, and a true on-course feel. They make indoor practice actually fun and help you work on your game in a way that translates right ba...
When we first built or simi, we used E6 golf software which was fine; however, it didn't have as many courses or features as GSPro so we switched and really like it way better. The graphics are incredible and they launch new courses all of the time. ...
GSPro
E6 Connect was the first software we used prior to GS Pro and it’s awesome! It doesn’t have as many courses as GS Pro, but it’s less expensive and has many features I miss, especially for the driving range!

Accessories
These are other necessary accessories that make a golf simulator setup way more realistic and smooth to use. From hitting mats to impact screens, these extras help improve feel, accuracy, and overall experience.
We went through 3 different impact screens before we found one that was durable enough for my husband's ball impact and finally settled on this one. I love this one because it holds it's flat shape, doesn't easily tear (which is the issue we had with...
Golf Simulator Impact Screen: 7mm Thickened
A good quality hitting mat is really important, as it takes a beating. I find this one to be the perfect size and thickness.
Best Golf Hitting Mat
These are the best balls for the Square Golf launch monitor. I highly recommend you invest in these, as the radar won’t pick up other balls properly.
TP5 pix Golf Balls
I have found these to be the best balls for the Garmin launch monitor, as they have top-tier urethane cover, excellent feel and spin, and Titleist has an “RCT” version specifically optimized for radar launch monitors.
