A golf simulator typically consists of a combination of key components, including sensors that measure club and ball data, essential software, app, or applications for simulation, a computer or mobile device to run the software, a projector or monitor to display the virtual golf course, an impact screen or net to safely capture golf shots, wall and ceiling protection to safeguard your surroundings, turf, flooring, putting or ball absorption for a realistic surface, a stance mat or hitting mat for a comfortable setup and realistic ball flight, and various accessories like mounting hardware cables.
Additionally, add-ons can further enhance the experience, such as extra analytics tools (e.g., video capture, balance plates), control interfaces (e.g., touchscreen, handheld keyboards, foot controllers), putting-related elements like cups or separate putting greens, furniture and décor to create an inviting ambiance for a more comprehensive golf simulation setup. These components and add-ons collectively form a complete golf simulator system, offering a wide range of features and customization options for users.
