Space Requirements

The DIY Series Golf Simulator is designed to fit comfortably in a variety of spaces, from garages and basements to dedicated golf rooms. While each launch monitor has its own placement requirements, the room dimensions below provide a great starting point for most simulator setups. Choosing a space with adequate width, depth, and ceiling height will help ensure a safe, comfortable swing and an enjoyable playing experience.

Keep in mind: Some launch monitors are positioned beside the golfer, while others sit behind the hitting area and may require additional room depth. Our team can help you choose the right enclosure and launch monitor combination for your space.

Space Requirement 8' x 10.5' DIY Enclosure 9' x 12' DIY Enclosure
Minimum Room Width 10' 12'
Recommended Room Width 12' 14'
Minimum Room Depth* 14' 14'
Recommended Room Depth* 14'–16' 15'–17'
Minimum Ceiling Height 9' 9'6"
Recommended Ceiling Height 9'6"–10' 10'

*Some launch monitors may require additional room depth depending on their placement and technology.


8' x 10.5' DIY Enclosure

A great option for garages, basements, and multi-purpose spaces where maximizing available room is important.

  • Ideal for compact simulator spaces
  • Comfortable fit for most golfers
  • Excellent balance of performance and footprint
  • Works well with a wide range of compatible launch monitors
  • Recommended room size: 12' W × 14'–16' D × 9'6"–10' H

9' x 12' DIY Enclosure

Designed for golfers who have more room and want a larger, more immersive simulator experience.

  • Provides additional width for a more comfortable hitting area
  • Great for dedicated golf rooms and larger garages
  • Offers extra flexibility for different swing styles and player heights
  • Better accommodates future simulator upgrades
  • Recommended room size: 14' W × 15'–17' D × 10' H

Austad's Sim Caddie Recommendation

For most golfers, the 8' × 10.5' DIY Enclosure offers the best balance of space, value, and performance, making it an excellent choice for garages and shared-use spaces. If you have the room, the 9' × 12' DIY Enclosure provides a more spacious hitting area and a more immersive simulator experience.

Not sure if your space will work? Our Sim Caddies can help you choose the right enclosure and launch monitor based on your room dimensions, preferred setup, and budget.


How to Measure Your Space for a Golf Simulator

Before selecting a simulator package, take a few quick measurements to ensure your room can comfortably accommodate both the enclosure and your golf swing.

1. Measure Your Ceiling Height

  • Measure from the floor to the lowest point of the ceiling.
  • We recommend 10' ceilings or higher for the most comfortable experience.
  • Many golfers can swing with 9' ceilings, but driver swings may feel restricted.
  • Watch for garage door openers, light fixtures, ceiling fans, ductwork, and beams.

2. Measure Your Room Width

  • Measure the usable width of the room from wall to wall.
  • Add extra clearance for a comfortable driver swing.
  • If both right- and left-handed golfers will use the simulator, additional width may be required.
  • We typically recommend 12'–14' of room width for most setups.

3. Measure Your Room Depth

  • Measure from the wall where the screen will be installed to the back wall.
  • Remember to account for:
    • Distance from the screen to the hitting area
    • Space behind the golfer
    • Launch monitor placement (if applicable)
  • Most simulator setups require 16'–20' of total room depth.

4. Check for Obstructions

  • Look for anything that could interfere with your swing or installation:
    • Garage door tracks
    • Support beams
    • Windows
    • Electrical panels
    • Shelving
    • Light fixtures
    • Ceiling-mounted storage

5. Consider Your Hitting Position

  • The golfer should be centered on the screen whenever possible.
  • Ensure there is enough room to swing all clubs comfortably, especially the driver.
  • If multiple golfers will use the simulator, make sure the hitting area accommodates both right- and left-handed players.

6. Take a Few Photos

  • Snap photos from each corner of the room.
  • Include any obstacles or unique features.
  • Photos help our Sim Caddies recommend the best enclosure, launch monitor, and projector for your space.

Austad's Sim Caddie Tip

When in doubt, measure twice. A few extra inches can make a big difference in comfort and playability. If you're unsure whether your space will work, send us your room dimensions and photos, and we'll help you find the right simulator setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our most commonly asked questions answered by Austad's Sim Caddies.

Which launch monitor is best for my home golf simulator?

The best launch monitor depends on your budget, available space, and how you plan to use your simulator. Golfers focused on game improvement may prefer an entry-level option like the Rapsodo MLM2Pro or Garmin R10, while players looking for tour-level accuracy often choose models from Uneekor or Foresight Sports. Our DIY Series lets you build the perfect package around the launch monitor that fits your needs.

What's included in a DIY golf simulator package?

Our DIY Series packages include everything you need to build a complete home golf simulator, including your choice of launch monitor, impact screen and enclosure, projector, hitting mat, simulator software options, mounting accessories, and expert support. You'll receive components that are designed to work together for an easier installation and a better overall experience.

Why buy a DIY golf simulator package instead of purchasing everything separately?

Buying a complete DIY golf simulator package saves time, eliminates compatibility concerns, and ensures every component works together.
