Dreaming of your own home driving range? You’re not alone. Whether you're practicing in the backyard, garage, or basement, building a home golf driving range is more achievable than ever — and it doesn't have to break the bank.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to build your own indoor or outdoor golf range setup, complete with the best nets, mats, launch monitors, and full practice kits.
How to Build a Home Driving Range
Simple indoor or backyard golf setups. Building your at-home driving range starts with understanding your space. Whether you're setting up in a garage, basement, or open backyard, you'll need three core components: a durable net, a realistic golf mat, and an optional launch monitor for feedback.
For a more DIY approach, you can even build your own golf hitting net using PVC pipes and commercial-grade netting. But most golfers opt for a ready-to-go solution like those in our Golf Nets Collection.
Best Golf Nets for Home Use
Indoor and outdoor golf nets that hold up. Your net is the foundation of your driving range. Whether you're looking for a collapsible indoor option or a rugged outdoor net, durability and ball return are key. Explore our full range in the Golf Nets Collection.
Best Golf Mats for Home Practice
Train like you play with realistic turf feel. A high-quality golf mat is essential to protect your joints and simulate real turf feedback. Look for mats that accept real tees and don’t feel like concrete under your feet. Shop the full lineup in our Golf Mats Collection.
Top Launch Monitors for Home Use
Turn your net into a real driving range experience. Launch monitors add serious value by giving you measurable feedback — swing speed, carry distance, and even shot shape. If you want to stop guessing and start improving, this is your move. Learn more in our Golf Launch Monitor Buying Guide or browse the full Launch Monitors Collection.

FAQs for Building Your Own Golf Driving Range at Home
How much space do I need for a home golf driving range?
At minimum, you’ll want a ceiling height of 8'–10' and 10' of depth if using a launch monitor. For full simulators, aim for 12'–15' in depth. See our Golf Simulators 101 Guide for space requirements by setup type.
Can I build a golf range in my garage?
Yes! Garages are ideal for indoor golf ranges — just make sure the ceiling is tall enough and the floor is level for safe swings.
What’s the cheapest home golf setup?
A simple net and mat combo can cost under $300. Add a budget-friendly launch monitor to track your game affordably. For more ideas, check out our Best Golf Simulators Guide.
How do I choose between indoor and outdoor setups?
Indoors offers year-round practice and simulation potential. Outdoors gives you more space but less weather protection. Choose based on how often and where you’ll practice.
