The off-season is rough when you love golf. Your swing needs work, a buddy's tournament is on the calendar, and the weather has other plans. You start thinking about what it would take to just play whenever you want.A home golf simulator lets you play whenever you want, work on whatever you want, and never worry about a tee time again. So what would something like that cost you?
A golf simulator can cost anywhere from a basic DIY setup to a premium custom installation, depending on the quality of the equipment, the size of the space, and the level of realism you want. A complete golf simulator package includes the launch monitor, hitting mat, projector, impact screen or net, enclosure, simulator software, computer, safety padding, and professional installation.
Here is what goes into a complete simulator setup:
Each of these is priced depending on quality.
Golf simulator costs span a wide range, and it usually comes down to one decision: piece it together yourself, or let aboutGOLF build the whole system around you.
If you're weighing your options, it helps to know what a DIY build typically costs. Piecing together your own launch monitor, screen, and enclosure from separate vendors generally runs $3,000 to $8,000, and the launch monitor alone often eats up 40 to 60 percent of that budget. That price gets you the components — not the integration, calibration, or support that turns those parts into a system you can trust every time you step in to hit.
The appeal of DIY is a lower price tag, but the tradeoffs land on you: matching your own launch monitor, projector, and software, then getting everything calibrated correctly, is your job to sort out. There's no dedicated design team accounting for your ceiling height and swing path, and no single point of contact if something stops syncing mid-round. An aboutGOLF package folds all of that into one system and one team, so the investment isn't just in better parts — it's in a simulator built to work the way it's supposed to from day one.
aG Tech Pack: Starting At $17,500
aG Sim Kit: Starting At $27,800
aG Flatscreen: Starting at $37,900
aG Curve - Starting at $69,500
Your indoor golf simulator cost will depend on the quality and price of each part of the system.
The launch monitor provides the swing and ball data you need to optimize your golf swing, with pricier models offering more comprehensive and accurate golf simulator information. Example insights from a launch monitor include launch angle, club path, club head speed, ball speed, measured spin and ball trajectory.
The launch monitor is the most important piece of any simulator setup. Entry-level options give you basic ball flight and distance data. Mid-range and premium models track club data, spin rates, launch angle, carry distance, shot shape, and more. It is the core technology behind everything, so it is worth budgeting for carefully.
3Trak™ Machine Vision Launch Monitor is available standalone in the aG Tech Pack starting at $17,500, and is included in every complete aboutGOLF simulator package.
The hitting mat provides a stable surface with similar textures to grass varieties found on an actual golf course. A higher-end golf mat will offer a more realistic feel and better durability. Some golfers use more than one golf hitting mat for more accurate simulations of the fairway, rough, and other surfaces. Many companies, aboutGOLF being one of them, offer replaceable hitting strips as an economical way of maintaining the overall stance and hitting area.
Hitting mat cost depends on size, turf quality, and whether it includes a replaceable hitting strip. Cheaper mats wear out fast and transmit harsh shocks to your joints. Premium mats offer better shock absorption, a more realistic turf feel, and hold up over time.
An integrated hitting and stance system is included in every simulator package, with replaceable hitting strips available in the aG Shop.
A golf simulator projector displays the immersive environment on the screen. You may be tempted to lower your home golf simulator cost by choosing a cheaper projector, but it's essential to select a high-quality model that suits the size and lighting of your indoor space for a superior experience. We don't currently manufacture projectors, but we do make projector recommendations for each and every Sim setup. In the case of our custom aG Curve Simulators, some designs will actually require 3 projectors.
Projector cost depends on resolution, brightness, and throw distance. Most simulator owners choose a short-throw or laser projector so the image fills the screen without casting shadows. The right projector depends on your room size, screen dimensions, lighting, and the image quality you want.
Includes HD projection up to 4K in every simulator package. Some aG Curve configurations require multiple projectors to achieve full coverage of the curved screen.
The impact screen protects your walls from flying golf balls while displaying the projected simulation. Lower-end golf simulators that connect to your television use nets to catch the balls. This option is great for golfers on tighter budgets but doesn't provide the most engaging indoor game.
Impact screen costs depend on size, material, and quality level. Entry-level screens tend to be louder, less durable, and produce a lower-quality projected image. Premium screens use thicker, tighter-weave materials that reduce bounceback, withstand repeated shots, and project a cleaner image.
aboutGOLF's Dual HD Screen System is built for image quality and longevity. Our front screens last over 2,000 hours, and rear screens over 7,000 hours.
Golf simulators run on specially designed software that requires a computer or laptop. Golf simulator software costs vary widely, as each company offers slightly different course lineups, driving range options, games, and other add-on capabilities, like our Multisport sensor, aG Flix, and aG Balance.
If you select top-model parts for your indoor golf simulator setup, you'll pay much more than golfers who opt for more affordable golf simulators that connect to their TVs.
Free apps exist, but they are limited. Paid platforms offer full-course play, online competitions, practice modes, and realistic graphics. Check compatibility with your launch monitor before buying.
aboutGOLF's subscription includes 95+ courses, 23 range venues, dozens of games, online tournaments, and the aG Locker app to track your stats and compete globally. Plans start at $1,200/year or $3,300 for three years.
The enclosure is designed to protect your space and enhance the immersive experience. aboutGOLF's premium enclosures are crafted with commercial-grade aluminum framing and heavy-duty materials for superior durability and performance. Our enclosures are designed to integrate into your space, while maintaining the integrity of your golf simulation experience. Created with the same level of care and precision as our full Simulators, we offer both fixed-sized and custom aG Flatscreen & aG Sim Kit Enclosure options. All aG Curve Enclosures are custom built.
Enclosure costs depend on size, frame quality, screen type, side barriers, and included accessories. Budget enclosures may include a simple frame and screen, while higher-end packages often come with premium impact screens, side protection, foam padding, and ceiling protection.
aboutGOLF enclosures are American-made with commercial-grade aluminum framing. We offer fixed DIY sizes and custom builds designed around your space.
When it comes to a simulator, how it gets installed is just as important as what goes into it. Our team handles every aspect of your custom build, from equipment setup and projector alignment to sensor calibration and software configuration. When we walk out the door, your sim is ready to play.
Installation cost depends on your space. A basic garage or basement setup is a lighter job. A custom room with electrical work, projector mounting, flooring, and calibration will add more to your budget. Every custom build includes a dedicated designer and installation team. We handle the technical work so you can focus on your game.
Golfers must choose the ideal simulator setups to fit their spaces and intentions. Your setup geared exclusively toward game improvement may look different than another golfer's simulator used for family recreation.
You must also ensure that your indoor space can accommodate a full-swing golf simulator. A taller golfer with an arcing swing will need higher ceilings than a short golfer with a flat swing.
Here's a list of questions to ask when considering the experience you want to achieve with your simulator:
Before a simulator goes in, some prep work is usually needed. Flooring, lighting, and ceiling height all factor into your build cost. Swing clearance, too. Our design team drafts blueprints around your space. Windows, low ceilings, odd room shapes, we have handled them all. Talk to us early so there are no surprises.
Owning a simulator is low-maintenance, but it is not zero-maintenance. Software updates keep your system current. Periodic recalibration keeps your shot data accurate. Hitting mats and strips wear down over time and need to be replaced. We make it easy. Remote health monitoring catches issues before they affect your game, and our US-based support team is available outside of standard business hours when you need them.
