Want to enjoy golf all year long without leaving home? Transforming your garage into a golf simulator room is one of the most cost-effective ways to play in any season — rain, snow, or shine.
During the cold winter months, your garage can become the perfect golf escape. With the right setup and a few smart modifications, you can practice your swing, improve your game, and have fun with friends no matter the weather.
Space Requirements for a Garage Golf Simulator
To get started, make sure your garage has at least:
- 9 ft ceiling height
- 10 ft width
- 14 ft depth
This allows enough space for your swing and all the equipment you’ll need.
Essential Equipment
A complete golf simulator setup includes:
- Impact screen
- Projector
- Launch monitor
- PC with simulator software
- Turf carpet & hitting pad
- Sidewall curtains
Camera-based launch monitors are great for tighter spaces, while radar-based systems work best in larger rooms.
Lighting, Sound & Comfort
Lighting should keep the hitting zone bright without creating shadows or washing out the screen. To reduce noise, install sound-dampening panels, ceiling baffles, or curtains — they’ll also protect your walls and ceiling from stray shots.
Since most garages aren’t climate controlled, add a space heater or mini-split HVAC unit to keep things comfortable year-round.
How ProLift Can Help
If your garage ceiling is 10 ft or higher, ProLift Garage Doors can raise your garage door to give you the swing clearance you need — even with the door open.
If your ceiling is 9 ft high, we can convert extension springs to torsion springs or install a wall-mounted opener to remove the bulky ceiling motor and free up valuable overhead space for your simulator projector and launch monitor.
With a few professional modifications, your garage can become a high-performance golf simulator space that’s quiet, comfortable, and fun.
