Simulator Studios · for homes and businesses

A full swing, out back.

A stand-alone golf simulator studio for your backyard or your business. Sixteen feet wide for a full swing and a full-width screen, built on the same engineered steel frame as our golf lodging, and designed to be a room you use every day, not just on rain days.

Why its own building

Most houses can't take a driver.

A real swing needs ceiling height, width and room behind the ball that most basements and garages don't have, and the garage is where the cars go. A detached studio is built around the bay from the start, and adds a room the whole household will use.

  • Sixteen feet wide. Room for a full swing and a full-width screen, left- or right-handed.
  • Steel frame. Non-combustible, straight and stable, and it doesn't rot or attract termites.
  • One delivered price. The building and the simulator fit-out, specified to your budget.
  • We check your lot first. Size, height and setback rules for detached buildings vary by town.

One room, four jobs

A simulator is a household decision. Make it an easy one.

A room that's also an office, a guest room and a sauna is a much easier yes than a room that only plays golf.

For business

The same building, working for a business.

A studio doesn't need a backyard. It needs a flat spot, power and a reason for golfers to come through the door.

Golf clubs

Member bays by the clubhouse for winter play, lessons and leagues. Often part of a lodging program alongside the houses.

Coaches and fitters

A teaching or fitting studio at the range, with its own front door.

Hotels and golf resorts

Bays for guests in any weather, and a rain-day plan for groups.

Hospitality and offices

A bookable bay beside a bar, a restaurant or the office, for clients and teams.
