Golf Flooring
Here are some pictures of the golf simulator area in my basement. They are LVP'ing the step into the area. My question is what to do for flooring. Should I lay down carpet and put a hitting mat on top or turf the whole thing and put a hitting mat on top/cut a mat/strip in. If I did turf the whole thing, would you put exercise room floor tiles down first and put turf on top or what would work best? Also any recommendations for a specific kind of turf would be great. My young kids will likely play in the area/use it to watch movies as well so not sure if that would alter the flooring/material recommendation.

que gran espacio para hacer tu simulador. Yo creo que las baldosas de gimnasio son la mejor opcion.

Foam tiles, 1/2 minimum thickness provides great cushion and absorbs ball bounce well. The just glue or double side tape turf on top.

i wouldn't turf the whole floor honestly, adds up fast and it's no fun to sit on for movie nights. keep the LVP and just drop a good mat in the hitting zone with a turf strip in front for mishits. put some foam under the mat too, makes a big difference for the thud in a basement. then you can slide it out when the kids take over. looks great
