You see all of the cool, sophisticated golf simulators at bars, country clubs and even hotel lobbies. And you start wondering how great one would be at your home. Your next thought: Just how expensive are they? Truth is, they’re probably more affordable than you think. Of course, that also depends on the features and size you’re looking for. There is unprecedented accessibility at various price points with today’s array of technology at every level. With units costing just a few hundreds to luxury options offering the latest Trackman advancements, there’s an entryway for many consumers.

“There is a wide range of price points from a bare bones minimum of around $1,000 up to $60,000+ for a high-end custom simulator,” says Justin Carlson, Vice President of Sales at The Indoor Golf Shop. “With a bare-bones version, you’ll get a hitting net and a lower price point launch monitor. From there, you can add a hitting mat, impact screen, landing pad, projector and gaming PC.”

The Indoor Golf Shop caters to all different budget levels. The beauty of owning a simulator is that you can upgrade components at any time. Thus, starting out with lower price point components gets you the ability to swing a golf club indoors, in your home. And then as time and budget allows, you can swap out and upgrade components, such as the enclosure, hitting mat, impact screen, launch monitor, gaming PC and projector.

But try not to skimp, even initially, and instead get the best parts you can afford. “A few areas that I wouldn’t go cheap on include the hitting mat and insert, impact screen, gaming PC and projector,” says Carlson. “Our SIGPRO line of hitting mats and inserts are designed for better performance, durability and feel, resulting in the most realistic hitting surface that eliminates all possibilities of pain and soreness in your joints. Our SIGPRO Premium and Premier impact screens provide a quality projected image, longevity, low bounce back and reduced noise. When considering a gaming PC and projector, you want to make sure that you are meeting or even exceeding the minimum requirements of the launch monitor you’re going to use. This will allow for no delay or lag after you take a golf shot, while providing a clean and crisp image.”

Planning ahead of time and ensuring there’s enough space to safely swing a golf club is imperative, when you’re considering installing a simulator in your home. You want to take into account having the impact screen at least a foot off the back wall to allow for the impact screen to flex and give in upon impact. The ideal dimensions of a room are 15’ wide, 10’ high, by 20’+ deep, at the least. “That said, we understand that not everyone has that ideal space so we offer many solutions to accommodate your needs,” adds Carlson.

One huge mistake people often make, when going on a limited budget is opting to use their house laptop to run everything, instead of a gaming PC that allows for multiple inputs for a projector, touchscreen/monitors, and a graphics card that will display the software. It all depends on your budget level, as well as your skill level and comfort in doing it all yourself.  The Indoor Golf Shop offers products for all different comfort levels, from the DIYer all the way up to a turn-key experience.  

Another option is enlisting a little help with money. “We offer financing through a third party, which is almost instantaneous to get your financing amount,” says Carlson. “If you don’t want to go the financing route, you can always purchase components you don’t want to sacrifice on and then upgrade or add additional components in the future.” Either way, your golf game will thank you.

(CARLSBAD, Calif.) – Full Swing, the industry leader in pioneering sports technology, has launched Skill Strike, a first-of-its-kind, skill-based, closest-to-the-pin competition for golf simulator play that allows users to pay an entry fee and win money.

Skill Strike users are not competing against the pros or other amateurs as they would in a typical closest-to-the-pin contest. Rather, they are simply competing against themselves and their algorithm-derived expected shot outcome. This new paradigm is an important distinction from the standard closest-to-the-pin contest that will always favor more consistent players. Skill Strike instantly rewards players’ great shots based on their unique skill level, making every swing an opportunity to win.

Skill Strike is powered by Evenplay’s patented AI technology, developed specifically for Full Swing’s industry-leading simulator platform. The software uses real-time data capture and AI machine learning to tailor Skill Strike’s closest-to-the-pin gameplay to each user’s individual skill level. This learning is then deployed to create skill-based challenges – namely a unique target size and distance for each shot attempt – based on the user’s dynamic, real-time shotmaking abilities. A series of concentric circles surround the hole, with more money awarded for shots that hit the inner rings, less for those that do not, and none for those that miss the target entirely.

“We developed Skill Strike because we’re always looking for innovative ways to engage with the global Full Swing community,” said Jason Fierro, Chief Operating Officer for Full Swing. “Skill Strike is an unprecedented shift in skills-based gaming opportunities as it essentially creates a real-time dynamic handicap for golfers of any skill level, and allows them to win money so long as they perform above their personalized expected outcome. Full Swing simulator users – whether in the comfort of their own homes or at a commercial facility – now have a new way to enjoy the game of golf, with many exciting future integrations to come from our development team.”

New players start with free practice shots that help the AI learn their unique swing profile while earning bonus play money to try the real experience risk-free. Once the system understands a player’s abilities, every challenge is perfectly calibrated to their skill level. This means a beginner hitting their best shot has the same chance to win as a scratch golfer hitting theirs. Challenges begin at just $3 per shot and scale up to $20 as players build confidence. Every swing is an opportunity to outperform your personal baseline and win up to 8x the challenge fee. Players who make a hole-in-one will collect a standalone prize depending on distance. It’s golf the way it should be: every player competes on equal footing, every great swing pays, and winning is about playing your best, not being the best.

“We built our AI specifically to solve a problem that’s plagued golf gaming forever: how do you make it fair and fun for everyone?,” said Bryan O’Reilly, co-founder and CEO of Evenplay. “Full Swing’s precision tracking data gives us the perfect foundation to create truly personalized challenges. When paired with their state-of-the-art simulator experience, every player gets a real shot at winning, regardless of their handicap.”

Added Fierro: “In recent weeks, we’ve given several of Full Swing’s commercial partners a sneak preview of the technology. All have been impressed by Skill Strike’s seamless integration into the simulator gameplay experience and believe it’s going to create a significant new revenue stream for their businesses, as it will increase the frequency of customer visits and also the time they spend onsite.”

The skill-based gaming platform will be available on Full Swing simulators in all U.S. states except Alaska, Hawaii, Maryland, Nevada, New Hampshire and Virginia.

Full Swing’s launch of Skill Strike’s closest-to-the-pin competition is just the beginning, with several enhancements to come. They include the ability to play against friends during a round of simulator golf and overlaying the closest-to-the-pin competition on iconic par-3 holes from around the world.

Chantilly, VA – GOLFZON, the world leader in golf simulator technology and organizer of the GOLFZON Tour, today launched GDR MAX, its most advanced and comprehensive game improvement simulator to date. This state-of-the-art, integrated simulator incorporates industry-leading launch data, video analysis, club diagnostics, weight-transfer mapping, and simulated practice to provide golfers, coaches, and fitters with the most immersive, data-driven simulator experience.

Designed for enhanced performance feedback, GDR MAX represents the next evolution in golf instruction — offering golfers fully customizable, year-round practice options, coaches comprehensive swing analysis with integrated video replay, and fitters detailed, data-rich club fitting reports.

“GDR MAX is the most complete golf simulator, enabling golfers to work on every aspect of their game while also providing an unparalleled learning experience – from full swings to putting, data to video, and practice to performance,” said Sean Pyun, GOLFZON America CEO. “Whether you’re an obsessed golfer, a teaching professional, or a club fitter, GDR MAX is the most accessible game improvement simulator.” 

GDR MAX’s touch-screen monitors deliver an immersive, side-by-side view of golfers’ swings from both front and side angles, creating a superior game improvement and fitting experience. The simulator empowers golfers, coaches, and club fitters through a range of innovative features designed to elevate every aspect of training and performance.

• For Players: Golfers can sharpen every aspect of their game — from full swings and approach shots to putting strokes — while simulating on-course scenarios for full-round preparation. The GDR MAX provides detailed feedback on every shot, allowing golfers to fine-tune their technique with precision. Players can practice putts ranging from 5 to 130 feet as the simulator provides frame-by-frame animation analysis of face angle and stroke direction to help improve accuracy and distance control. With the GDR MAX, players can tailor their practice sessions by playing practice rounds just as the pros do, including specific holes, pin locations, and target distances. 

• For Coaches: GDR MAX offers critical insights into swing dynamics, club movement, and ball flight, helping coaches better understand their students’ specific swing training needs. With the system’s 3D data visualization, GDR MAX generates detailed animations of club path, impact position, and launch metrics for in-depth swing analysis. The simulator captures real-time videos of club and ball impact, allowing coaches to review players’ swings at multiple playback speeds, and includes weight sensor analysis to track and visualize golfers’ weight distribution and ground force usage.

• For Club Fitters: The GDR MAX enables fitters to create up to 15 club group profiles and record as many as 100 shots per group. The system then generates detailed, web-based fitting reports from the shot data to ensure players receive clubs customized to their own individual needs.

GDR MAX includes the option to add GOLFZON’s automatic tee and ball retrieval system and features several major championship courses to play, including Bay Hill, Pebble Beach and St. Andrews. 

GOLFZON is the industry leader in golf simulator technology, delivering the most realistic indoor golf experience through advanced camera systems that precisely capture golfers’ swings. The GDR MAX is the company’s second simulator launch in the last year, following the success of the TwoVisionNX.

“​​Our goal is to make building a top-of-the-line golf simulator as easy and attainable as possible, and the redesigned Pro Golf Enclosure Kit does just that,” said Carl’s Place Founder and CEO Carl Markestad. “It’s simpler to set up, it looks incredible and the playing experience is even more immersive. With new options that adapt to evolving golf simulator technology, customers can feel confident they’ve got a setup that’s both premium today and ready for tomorrow.”

At the center of the revamped Pro Golf Enclosure Kit is the Versatile Crossbar System, offered as an added feature for those who want simple overhead launch monitor placement. It can be positioned wherever needed for precise alignment during setup, plus it can be easily adjusted later to accommodate new launch monitor technology.

Another update enhances an already stellar playing experience. Now standard on the Pro Golf Enclosure Kit, Carl’s BlackStop fabric creates a darker, more polished playing environment that makes the projected image pop with brighter colors and sharper contrast. Its rugged construction is built to handle years of play and the premium finish adds on to the simulator’s elevated, professional look.

Carl’s Place also streamlined assembly with a one-piece, wrap-around ceiling and sidewall panel, which cuts installation time by roughly an hour. Adding onto that convenience, Carl’s Place redesigned the screen and enclosure flaps as separate components from the screen itself. The new detachable flaps feature a wider, stronger hook-and-loop fastener strip that keeps them securely in place and ensures the enclosure maintains a sleek and professional appearance after repeated impacts.

Finally, Pro Enclosure Pipe Kits now ship via Ground instead of Freight and qualify for free no-rush shipping within the contiguous U.S. This change makes delivery simpler and more convenient, eliminating the need to schedule freight trucks. 

The new Pro Golf Enclosure Kit reflects Carl’s Place’s ongoing commitment to superior design, customer-driven innovation and long-term durability.

The ST MAX takes design and performance to the next level with a new, premium charcoal-grey finish, dual USB connectivity, and groundbreaking Speed Training features. Every detail was engineered to elevate the home golf experience and for golfers to maximize every swing.

“Golfers today want technology that goes beyond simply measuring their swing.

Zen Golf, the world leader in adaptive moving-floor technology, and STABLE, pioneers of advanced marine stabilization, will unveil their latest breakthrough innovation for golf on-board at the Monaco Yacht Show (24–27 September 2025, Stand DS 38).

STABLE Zen Golf On-Board now offers golfers full-swing freedom on-deck with advanced stabilization technology, guaranteeing golfers truly authentic gradients while standing on the Zen Swing Stage even as the sea rolls beneath the vessel.

Using Virtual Golf 3 software powered by Trackman launch monitor technology, Zen Swing Stage and STABLE can recreate real-life ground conditions to enhance your play on-board at the world’s top golf courses – including the ability to challenge yacht-to-yacht in real time.

This immersive combination transforms your deck into the most exclusive, most connected golf course in the world, with stable conditions underfoot.

Below decks, Zen and STABLE also offer truly a stabilized putting experience, unaffected by the movement of water, with precisely-adjustable gradients recreating putts on the world’s greatest greens to millimeter-precision, including famous putts throughout Tour golf history.

And also coming soon to superyachts and golf academies worldwide is the brand-new Zen Eye augmented reality system, the ultimate add-on for Zen Green Stage owners, offering interactive visuals and ball-tracking overlays projected directly onto the surface.

Zen Eye enables gamified challenges and the ability to recreate iconic putts, host guest competitions, or even link into global events from the privacy of your home, golf studio or luxury superyacht.

This is more than mere simulator golf: this is live, adaptive and fully interactive golf, powered by STABLE, Zen Golf and Trackman technology.

The Zen/STABLE union creates an exclusive experience without rival, unavailable elsewhere in the superyacht market.

Both technologies are integrated, intelligent, and invisible until activated. Engineered for realism but built for luxury, whether you are enjoying golf privately, entertaining guests or connecting with other golfers on yachts worldwide, STABLE Zen Golf On-Board redefines golf for the superyacht lifestyle.

“Golf at sea has truly come of age. This is an ever-moving golf floor for an ever-moving ocean” said Nick Middleton, Zen Golf Founder & CEO. “Adjustable Zen playing surfaces already provide the ultimate golf experience in 27 countries worldwide, and we have now reimagined this experience for superyachts.

“By combining the adjustable Swing Stage and Green Stage with STABLE’s specialized platforms, golfers can now hit shots and putts which are not affected by waves,” said Middleton. “Now, you can stand securely on the tee or fairway while the vessel is rocking on the water. Balls roll straight and true despite the boat’s motion. Or, with our adjustable gradients, you can create unlimited breaking putts which you make up yourself, to delight your guests on-board, or even recreate history’s most famous putts.”

Many yachts have on-board stabilizers, but they are generally not accurate enough to enable the satisfactory playing of sports such as golf or billiards, which involve a precise ball roll. The STABLE/Zen system enables revolutionary levels of ball stability, leaving the playing surface unaffected by the movement of water.

Svend Heier, CEO of STABLE, said: “We are thrilled to deliver another world first to the yachting segment. Pairing our unique gyro-stabilization with Zen’s Green Stage is a true game-changer for golf lovers on-board.”
