How Much Room Do You Need for a Golf Simulator?
Understanding how much room you need for a golf simulator is vital for Digital Sports Entertainment professionals. Whether planning immersive installations or private setups, precise room dimensions ensure realistic play, player safety, and optimal technology performance. This article provides essential guidelines, authoritative sources, and practical recommendations for any professional environment.
Minimum Room Size Requirements
- Length: Aim for at least 18 feet (5.5m) to accommodate swing, screen, and space behind the player.
*(Source: Golf Digest, 2023)*
- Width: Minimum 12 feet (3.65m) is recommended, allowing both right- and left-handed play without constraint.
- Height: 9 feet (2.75m) minimum ceiling to ensure comfortable, unobstructed full swings for most adults.
- Simulator Enclosure: Consider models and brand requirements; some may need more space for safety nets, screens, and equipment.
Optimal Room Layout Tips
- Central Placement: Position the hitting mat in the room center for versatility and left/right-handed accessibility.
- Swing Path Clearance: Allow an extra 2 feet on each side of the mat for safe club movement.
- Tee-to-Screen Distance: Maintain 10-12 feet (3-3.65m) from tee position to impact screen for realistic ball flight tracking.
Additional Considerations for Professionals
- Peripheral Equipment: Extra space may be required for motion sensors, simulators, and seating.
- Projector Positioning: Ceiling-mounted projectors typically require 3-4 feet behind the player, clear of swing path.
- Ventilation & Lighting: Ensure adequate airflow and install non-glare lighting for player comfort and system accuracy.
- ADA Compliance: In public entertainment settings, follow accessibility standards for clear paths and maneuverability.
Sources & Best Practices
- PGA, Golf Digest, and commercial simulator manufacturers consistently recommend these standards.

- Leading brands (e.g., TrackMan, Foresight) often provide specific spacing in product documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my ceiling is under 9 feet?
- Lower ceilings restrict driver/wood shots. Consider simulator use with shorter clubs or schedule builds in higher ceiling areas.
Can I fit a golf simulator in a shared multi-use room?
- Portable models exist, but plan for dedicated clear space during use and secure storage after sessions.
For the most immersive and safe golf simulator experience, always consult your equipment provider’s technical specifications in tandem with these industry guidelines. Proper room planning drives player satisfaction and maximizes the business value of Digital Sports Entertainment installations.
