Bar and/or Kegerator
Why not?! Beer on tap, a featured bourbon collection? Can you think of a better way to make your sim room the talk of the town?
Whether it's a simple bar top with a mini fridge stocked with your favorite beverage or a deluxe multi-tap kegerator, you really can't go wrong.
Sofa and Recliners
Let your guests and playing partners relax while you hit! Plus this idea pairs great with the next accessory idea.
Golf Simulators create an amazing hangout spot in your rec-room, so why not deck it out with some super comfortable seating setups. See the image for inspiration!
Apple TV / Streaming Adaptor
Yes, you can watch tv, movies, or even play video games on these things! Turn your golf simulator room into a movie theatre and the ultimate man-cave! Most projectors have an HDMI input so all you have to do is hook it up to your cable box just like a tv. Hook up the the video game console for some series big screen action.
Alternatively, get an extra tv so that you can play golf and watch tv at the same time! The Optoma HD Short Throw Golf Simulation Projector is a high quality projector with an HDMI input.
A Ping Pong Table
Add in fun for the whole family with a ping pong table, a pool table, or maybe even a shuffleboard table. Golf is all about hanging out and having a good time, so we recommend surrounding yourself with all sorts of fun activities.
Be warned though, you may never leave your basement if you've added what we've listed so far! And yes, we do have one in our office as well.
Putting Simulator
Tack on the power of making more putts and having fun doing it! Not only can you have fun hitting full shots into your simulator, but you can pair it with some pretty cool putting products to work on your shortgame as well!
Golf Ball Auto-Tee Dispenser
Really start living in luxury with an auto-tee system for your simulator. Not only will your back thank you, but this will ensure that the ball gets placed in the same spot every time, helping your simulator to read more accurately.
Why tee up your own ball when you can have a product that does the work for you!
More Practical Stuff - Game Improvement Accessories
We all know that putting is the most important part of the game. So don't give all your attention to full swings and add a synthetic putting green to your golf simulator room. This can take the form of an all in one hitting area that includes a putting surface and holes.
Or you can add a putting surface off to the side. One of the best all in one hitting mats/putting greens is the Fiberbuilt Combo Golf Mat & Putting Green. It's a 10' x 10' golf mat that includes Fiberbuilt's fairway turf and their true roll putting green surface (pictured below).
Or you can opt for something from Big Moss that is one of your more traditional putting surfaces. It really doesn't matter what you add, if you are working on your putting more often, you are probably doing to start shooting lower scores.
Phone / Table or Laptop Stand
Many smart phones allow you to record in slow motion. And if not, there are tons of awesome apps built for golf instruction and swing recording.
Rather than buying an expensive video camera, pick up a tripod that can hold a smartphone. Combining all the shot data you receive from your golf simulator with swing recordings gives you the ultimate form of game improvement!
Replacement Hitting Strips
A great way to improve your golf simulator setup and experience is by adding a multi-terrain golf mat. Golf mats like our SwingTurf features a very realistic hitting surface so that you can more accurately practice like you play.
Not only this, you can purchase replacement strips for when your strike area wears down. Simply cut a rectangular opening in your current mat and drop down our hitting strip to upgrade your hitting area.
Accessories to Organize Your Space
This is certainly not the only way to organize your space, but it keeps from you clubs being strewn all over the room at the end of your practice session. Keep your clubs, balls, gloves, and other accessories all in one place with the bag rack featured below.
