Golf Simulator Screens
Impact screens take the hit and display the projected image. Key specs are material (multi-layer vs single-layer), noise, bounce-back and image quality. Screen size usually sets the enclosure size (8, 10 or 12 ft wide).
At a glance
The Carl's Place Standard is the lowest-priced screen we track (from $179.95 at Rain or Shine Golf). The SIGPRO Premium (from $419.99 at Shop Indoor Golf) is a three-layer screen with a 1-year residential warranty. If your room cannot be fully darkened, retailers recommend a gray surface for contrast.

How to choose golf simulator screens
- Match the screen to your enclosure or frame and your projector's aspect ratio; retailers sell square (1:1), 4:3 and 16:9 sizes.
- Use warranty length as a durability guide: 6 months for SIG Preferred vs 1 year for SIGPRO Premium, per Shop Indoor Golf.
- Choose gray over white if the room has ambient light; Rain or Shine Golf says gray absorbs ambient light and improves contrast.
- Check projector throw before you buy with the projector throw calculator.

FAQ
What is the best impact screen for a golf simulator?
It depends on budget and room light. In our research the SIGPRO Premium (from $419.99, Oct 10, 2026) offers a three-layer build and a 1-year residential warranty, while the Carl's Place Standard (from $179.95) is the lowest-cost option.
Is a gray or white golf simulator screen better?
Gray helps in rooms with ambient light. Rain or Shine Golf says a gray surface absorbs ambient light better than white, deepening blacks and improving contrast in rooms that aren't fully blacked out.
How long does a golf impact screen last?
Screens wear with use, so warranties are a useful guide: Shop Indoor Golf gives SIG Preferred a 6-month warranty and SIGPRO Premium a 1-year residential warranty against rips and tears from ball strikes.
What size impact screen do I need?
Match the screen to your enclosure or frame and your projector's aspect ratio. Retailers sell square (1:1), 4:3 and 16:9 sizes; Carl's Place screens run from 7.7 x 7.7 ft up to 10 x 18 ft at Rain or Shine Golf.
Do I need a gray impact screen for a garage?
Often yes if the garage door or windows let in daylight. Rain or Shine Golf says a gray surface absorbs ambient light better than white. Pair it with a brighter short-throw projector and see our garage golf simulator setup guide for door and lighting notes.
