FAQ
What parts do I need for a home golf simulator?
A launch monitor, something to hit into (an impact screen in an enclosure or frame, or a net), a hitting mat, a display (projector, TV or tablet) and software. Many launch monitors also sell a plan for course play.
Can I share my simulator build?
Yes. Every choice is stored in the page address, so copying the link saves the full build. Nothing is sent to a server.
Is a package cheaper than buying parts?
Sometimes. Compare your planner total with dated package prices such as the Garmin R10 SIG DIY Studio ($1,449.98 at Shop Indoor Golf, Oct 2026) in our package vs DIY guide.
Should I check room size before pricing parts?
Yes. Room depth decides which launch monitors work. Run the room fit calculator first, then return here with depth filled in from the link on that page.
What is not included in the planner total?
PC or tablet, cables, mounts, tax, shipping and professional installation. See the installation cost guide for labor ranges, and the cost of ownership calculator for plans and software over 1, 3 and 5 years.
