I Built My Own Golf Simulator | DIY Golf Studio | Fold Away Golf Sim
In this episode I share an insight into my home build golf simulator / studio.
Originally I started with a simple hitting net, then progressed to purchase my first launch monitor, a SkyTrak. This needed somewhere to use it indoors, so I decided to purchase a “party marquee”, which worked surprisingly well given its apex was 3.5 meters in height. This worked great for almost a year, but then the UK got battered with storms, which the marquee survived rather well against. However when the “10 year” storm broke, Storm Arwen, it was a few MPH too much for the huge ground anchors & it up-rooted the tent & destroyed it.
By this point however, the experiment had proven a success and as a family we were all keen to replace the new outdoor space with a permanent structure. It needed to be one that had multiple functions for all the family to enjoy and so “Oscars” was the result.
Oscars is a golf studio, entertainment area & home cinema. To do all of these things, the golf sim had to be something that would be hidden away when not in use. In this video, you will see how I achieved that with some clever design & a lot of hard labour. We now have a fantastic venue for parties, cinema & enjoying my love of golf.
Enjoy.

    Good engineering for an amazing result. Is it not possible to dial in the resolution you want GS Pro to use? I would have thought with how many DIY simulator builds are out there that the game would be able to set a 1:1 scale resolution. What impact screen are you using in the build? What sort of impact foam do you have on the doors? I am in planning phase of my build and so far have a couple options for both, but always curious to find more options.

    Been using a Gala 6m x 4m heavy duty Marquee for the last 6 years on my decking next to house, "m away from any boundary fence. I'm very envious of your build, would love to build what you have, but UK planners won't allow it due to height and being within 2m of boundary fence. I even had a Golf Frame Netting at the bottom of the Garden which was 3m high and a neighbour across the road complained it was spoiling their view, planners came out and told me to either reduce the height or take it down.

    Wow Gerry, sounds like you have some difficult neighbours. We had these huge cloud conifers & everyone was happy to see the back of them to be replaced by the garden room. Mine is close to the boundary fence, needed fire retardant cladding for building regs, all good though. Good to hear the marquee is still doing a job, as that’s where I started & worked great to test if we were going to use the space 👍🏻

    Very impressive but way out of my budget even as a dual or triple use facility. If you were just looking g at cost though I wonder how many sessions at a local Club/ facility you could get for the money. Although being able to hit and monitor shot/strike whenever you want is a big advantage.
