Golf Simulators

Every Rain or Shine Golf simulator package is carefully curated to give you everything you need to create a complete indoor golf setup — no guesswork, no missing pieces. While exact components vary by package type, here’s what you can typically expect:

1. Launch Monitor

At the heart of every package is the launch monitor — the device that captures ball and club data. We offer a range of models to fit different goals and budgets, from entry-level units to pro-grade systems like GCQuad or TrackMan iO.

2. Screen or Net System

• Include a high-quality impact screen with framing and side netting or blackout curtains.
  
• Use a ballistics-grade hitting net for a simpler, more portable setup.
  
• Feature a motorized or manual retractable screen designed for shared spaces.
  

3. Hitting Mat & Turf

Every package includes a SwingTurf hitting mat that replicates the feel of real fairway grass. Many also include a turf landing pad or full turf surround to complete the hitting area and protect your floors.

4. Projector & Mount (Most Full Simulator Packages)

Most enclosure-based packages include a short throw projector with a ceiling mount and a 25' HDMI cable — all optimized for clear, bright display in simulator environments. Some DIY or net-based setups may offer this as an optional add-on.

5. Software Options

Depending on the launch monitor you choose, your package will either include or support software like FSX Play, E6 Connect, GSPro, Awesome Golf, or SkyTrak Play. We help ensure your software choice aligns with your goals, whether you’re focused on game improvement, course play, or both.

6. All Necessary Mounting Hardware

We include everything you need to get up and running — framing brackets, projector mounts, bungee cords, Velcro, and more. No trips to the hardware store required.

This is certainly a very subjective question, but our simple answer is that at about $6,000, you see a turning point where you get into a really solid quality golf simulator. From brands like SkyTrak and FlightScope, you will find yourself right in that wheelhouse, and then some of the more premium overhead options will put your overall buildout in the $10k - $15k range all in.

Overall, the technology is improving by the day, and the prices are on the way down for this tech. Its a great time to invest in a golf simulator for your home and the value is excellent for top tech!

Yes — if you care about improving your game, spending quality time at home, or transforming dead space into your own personal Augusta.

Here’s what we mean, broken down by who you are and what you care about:

The Data-Driven Golfer

“I want to track my swing, shave strokes, and get the same metrics the pros use.”

You’re not just playing — you’re testing, tuning, and tweaking. A home simulator gives you instant feedback on club path, face angle, launch, spin, and carry distance — depending on your launch monitor. It’s like having a Tour coach in your garage 24/7.

Worth it? If you're serious about improvement, this beats the range all day.

“I just want to hit balls after work or play Pebble Beach on a rainy Saturday.”

You don’t need tour-level data. You need easy access, no commute, and the ability to squeeze in 30 minutes of swings after the kids go down. Simulators let you play real courses from home, alone or with buddies, rain or shine (yeah, we said it).

Worth it? 100%. This replaces your driving range and becomes your favorite room in the house.

The Home Entertainment Mastermind

“I want my simulator space to double as a theater, hangout zone, or man cave.”

This is about more than golf — it’s about creating a space everyone wants to be in. With a high-lumen projector, you can stream sports, host game nights, or let the kids play Mario Kart on a 10-foot screen. Golf just happens to be the excuse to build it.

Worth it? You’re turning a room into an experience. That’s ROI you can feel.

The High-Achiever With Zero Free Time

“I’m running a business and have 20 minutes to practice before the next Zoom call.”

Forget driving to the range. A home sim lets you step in, hit 10 meaningful shots, and walk away smarter. That’s time-saving ROI. And the next time your foursome bets on closest to the pin? You’re walking up cool, calm, and calibrated.

Worth it? If your time is money, this is a high-yield investment.

Final Thought: Golf Simulators Are Only Getting Better

Launch monitors are more affordable. Graphics are more lifelike. And setups can fit anywhere from a spare bedroom to a custom build. You don’t need tour status or a huge house — just the desire to play more golf, more often.

The crazy thing is, this does exist! Simply pair an entry level launch monitor like Garmin R10 or Rapsodo MLM2Pro with a net and mat and sub-$1,000 is possible!
