Golf Simulator Turf and Flooring

Start with a landing pad

Most home sim rooms should start with a landing pad around the hitting mat. It turns the floor around your hitting position from concrete or carpet into turf, and most buyers building a dedicated room add one. Flex-space rooms, where the floor goes back to other uses, sometimes skip it.

• RoS Landing Pad. A compact coverage zone, made in-house to coordinate with the SwingTurf mat. It is the optional upgrade in our SwingBay and Retractable packages.
• Landing Pad Turf Bundle. 10 by 10 ft of total coverage with about 7 by 7 ft of usable hitting area.

For most home builds, a SwingTurf mat plus the 10 by 10 landing pad covers it.

Going wall to wall

If the room is dedicated and you want the whole floor to feel like fairway, not just the hitting position, look at full-floor turf.

Studio Turf sim flooring kit

Our in-house full-floor kit, designed to coordinate with the SwingTurf mat and landing pad for a seamless install. Many of our Custom Sim Room builds use it, and it is available on its own for DIY builders.

RoS Money Putt Turf

A nylon putting turf with a 63 oz face weight and a 3/8 inch pile. It needs no sand infill and rolls 10 to 11 on a stimp meter. The roll is 15 ft wide and a standard simulator bay is narrower than that, so the floor comes off one continuous piece with no seam in your stance. It comes in Turf Green or Midnight Black, cuts with a utility knife, and lays over concrete, plywood or a compacted aggregate base. Cut a recess for your hitting mat and the floor finishes at one level.

Build up the floor first

Basement slabs are rarely flat and almost never warm. RoS Interlocking Foam Floor Tiles go down under the turf to bridge minor dips and put an insulating layer between the concrete and your feet. They are 3/4 inch high density foam, firm enough to keep putts rolling true, and each 2 by 2 ft tile covers 4 sq ft. The tiles press together by hand and trim with a utility knife. The 5 tile pack covers 20 sq ft, the footprint of a standard 4 by 5 hitting mat.

Keep the build-up in mind for your ceiling. Turf or a foam subfloor raises the floor, so a 10 ft measurement can finish closer to 9 ft once the room is built. Our guide on how to measure your space for a golf simulator covers the rest.

Turf or hitting mat?

This collection is turf and flooring for the room. The surface you hit from is a hitting mat, and those live in golf mats. Not sure what size mat fits? Read what size golf mat do I need. For a dedicated putting surface, see putting greens.

Where this fits

Turf is part of how you build the room, along with screens, enclosures and wall padding. Planning a full room? Start in the Sim Builder, or see custom golf simulator rooms.
