Alberta Golf Sim: Residential Golf Simulator Best Practices

At Alberta Golf Sim, we specialize in designing and installing custom golf simulators that bring the joy and challenge of the golf course into the comfort of your home. This document outlines the best practices, space, and wiring requirements for integrating a golf simulator into a residential build. By following these guidelines, home builders can ensure a seamless installation and optimal performance of the simulator, providing homeowners with an unparalleled golfing experience.

Space Requirements

To create an effective and comfortable golf simulator room, adhere to the following dimensions:

• Width: 13 to 20 feet (15’+ Recommended to comfortably swing both left and right handed)
• Depth: 16 to 20 feet
• Height: Minimum of 9 feet 4 inches

These dimensions ensure that golfers have ample space to swing freely and that the simulator components are correctly positioned for the best experience. Additionally, the screen of the simulator should be placed at least 1 foot from the back wall to prevent damage to the screen and wall.

Golf Sim Wiring & Electrical Requirements

A golf simulator comprises several electronic components that require precise wiring and power setups:

• Launch Monitor
• Projector
• Computer
• Touchscreen

To connect these components, the following cabling is required:

• HDMI or Displayport Cables: One from the computer to the projector and one from the computer to the touch screen
• Cat6 Cable: From the launch monitor to the computer.
• USB Cables: Two from the launch monitor to the computer and one from the touchscreen to the computer. These are typically supplied with the launch monitor
• 110v Power Supply: Each of the four components requires a 110v power outlet
• Networking: Ensure networking capabilities are available for the computer to facilitate software
  updates and online gameplay. We also recommend running networking to the projector and launch
  monitor to future proof the installation

Properly planning and installing these cables and power sources during the build phase can prevent future complications and additional costs.
