Whether you’re beginning the process of designing the golf room of your dreams or just learning that you can golf at home, this golf room checklist is for you. We’ve compiled all of the golf room must-haves and nice-to-haves that you'll want in your new space.
Here's the summary of what you'll need for an indoor golf room:
Carl’s Tip: Make the most of limited space. Custom sizing a golf simulator to fit your space will maximize the width you have available.
Launch monitors analyze your swing. They are the brains of your golf simulator and tell you where the ball went, how your club angle was, how fast your golf swing was, and other important data parameters that provide all that detailed info about your game.
Launch monitors range from inexpensive, entry-level devices all the way up to high-end, luxury options. Here are just a few of our favorites:
SkyTrak - with its small footprint and low space requirements, SkyTrak makes a mean home golf simulator.
Mevo+ - at this price, you'll be hard pressed to find a better selection of data parameters. Mevo+ has some powerful upgrades, that make this budget-friendly launch monitor right on par with the big boys.
ProTee VX - one of the most affordable overhead-mounted launch monitors with awesome club-at-impact and ball spin video replays.

Carl’s Tip: Make sure to understand the requirements of the simulator system when shopping for a computer.
Software helps you visualize where your ball goes, as well as gives you courses and driving ranges on which to play. A golf simulator is pretty boring without software. Launch monitors typically come with some basic software that lets you at least practice. But to play on actual courses, you'll often need to upgrade to some of the cooler software.

Projector – No golf room checklist is complete without a projector! Depending on the size of your space, a short-throw projector might be the best option.
Carl’s Tip: When selecting a projector, consider the shape of your projector screen. If you’re planning to project in 4:3, make sure you select a projector with a 4:3 native aspect ratio. See a comprehensive list of projector recommendations here.
Pure Pitch Golf Mat – Learn proper set up, ball position and better swing path with the Callaway Pure Pitch hitting mat.
Tri Grass Mat – Three aids in one! An efficient practice aid, this hitting mat allows you to golf from three different surfaces with a single mat.
Putting Mat – With three cups and built-in sand traps, this is the perfect practice aid for improving your putting stroke.
Of course, there's always the option to purchase a pre-built bundle for your golf room. An easy setup that'll get you started off on the right foot.
Mevo+ TeeParty™ Golf Package – Hit the course anytime with this do-it-yourself bundle. Includes the wraparound enclosure, wall-to-wall turf, and more amazing accessories.
