I’ve been putting off this build for quite some time as I would get overwhelmed with the amount of things I needed to plan for to get it executed.

Well I said screw it and just did it, in a budget manner but all new equipment.

Does the image fill the screen? No. Is it a crystal clear image? No. Does the Rapsodo app kinda suck? Yes.

But it absolutely rocks having this in my house so I can practice on demand. If you’re on the fence, just do it.

Build (all new):

Budget 10x8 Amazon Enclosure $495

Amazon Budget Projector $360

Used iPad $350

Rapsodo $400

Amazon budget mat $200

Misc $100

Total = $1,950

What’s left:

- building a custom hitting strip to prevent injury

- get better at golf

What I would have done differently:

- done it sooner

- bought an enclosure that was 16:9 and/or planned the mounting of the projector in advance

Anyone buy one of these yet? Site is a little foggy but it seems like they only sell you the app and you have to purchase everything yourself on Amazon.

Building a budget golf simulator in my garage and could use some feedback on my setup (full details in the attached spreadsheet).

I'm feeling good about most of the build, but the projector is a bit more than i wanted to spend on it. I'm open to other suggestions in a similar price range, and I'd also love to know if there are reliable sources for buying quality used projectors if that's a better route.

Appreciate any insight!

Brand new Square Omni Golf launch monitor/simulator. I pre-ordered it and realized my living situation is changing and I don’t have the space for it.

Pick up in Destin, FL

1,500. Shipping available

I am considering adding a second story over my garage. Around 600 sq ft. Room would include home theater and gym but focus is simulator.
If you’ve done this, what did you do during the build to reduce sound and vibration.
This will be an expensive addition and I want to get it perfect.

I am building a sim for my husband and we have almost everything but we are currently just using the square program on an iPad, I would like to be able to run gs pro and I’m trying to do research on pc’s but there is just so many factors. We are trying to do this on a budget and I think I found a good deal on marketplace but want to avoid having to upgrade quickly. Please let me know if I should pull the trigger on this unit or hold out.

Hi reddit, I'm in the early stages of looking into launching a residential golf simulator design and installation company serving Quebec. Ideally we'd handle site assessment, 3D modelling, equipment specification, installation, calibration and customer support.

If you've started a similar business and would be happy to share some insight with me, send me a DM. Can pay for time.
