Golf Simulator Indoor Setup & Space Optimization Tool

Optimize your simulator room layout, ceiling height, screen size, lighting, and safety based on your space, swing, and simulator brand for best performance.

‍

Fixes ceiling hits or accuracy.

‍

We ask for simulator brand, room length, ceiling height, swing type, current issue, floor type, and budget because these optimize setup. These inputs ensure safety/performance. Limitation: the tool provides general recommendations and may not cover custom room builds; safety always requires personal judgment.

Golf Simulator Setup Recommendations

Brought to you by TheToolCollective.com and in partnership with John R., professional golf simulator installer and small business owner.

Simulator Brand: Uneekor

1. Optimal Screen Distance

• Recommended Distance: 18-21 feet from the screen to the tee area.
  • This distance allows for a comfortable full swing with a driver while maintaining accurate data capture.

2. Ceiling Clearance

• Recommended Clearance: 9-10 feet.
  • Ensuring adequate ceiling height is crucial to avoid any club or swing interference during your shots, especially with a driver.

3. Lighting Requirements

• Lighting Tips:
  • Use soft, diffused lighting to minimize glare on the screen.
  • Avoid direct overhead lights; consider using LED strip lights or wall sconces positioned away from the screen.
  • Aim for a brightness level of 200-300 lux for optimal visibility without reflections.

4. Safety Considerations

• Safety Measures:
  • Install safety nets or padding around the simulator area to protect against errant shots.
  • Ensure the area is clear of furniture or obstacles that could pose a risk during swings.
  • Use heavy-duty mats to help prevent slips and falls on carpet surfaces.

Layout Options

Layout Option 1: Traditional Setup

1. Screen Placement: Centered on a wall with adequate space on either side for additional equipment.
2. Tee Area: Positioned 18-21 feet from the screen with a marked hitting area.
3. Lighting: Installed along the ceiling perimeter to provide ambient light without glare.
4. Safety Features: Netting on the sides and back for added protection.

Layout Option 2: L-Shaped Simulator Room

1. Screen Placement: Positioned at one end of an L-shaped room with the hitting area in the corner.
2. Tee Area: Approximately 20 feet away from the screen, allowing for a full swing with the driver.
3. Lighting: Wall-mounted fixtures along the long wall to minimize direct light on the screen.
4. Safety Features: Use a combination of side nets and padded walls to ensure safety in multiple directions.

Summary

• Screen Distance: 18-21 feet
• Ceiling Clearance: 9-10 feet
• Lighting: Soft, diffused lighting recommended
• Safety: Install nets and remove obstacles
