Golf Sim Sheds. THe space needed, styles, and more
If you’re thinking about adding a golf simulator to your home in Florida or New England, a shed can be the perfect solution. Maybe you don’t have enough space inside your house. Maybe you already have a shed that’s ideal for a simulator. Or maybe you just want a private spot to practice without disturbing others. Either way, a backyard golf simulator shed can take your game to the next level.
At Golf2U, we specialize in golf simulator installation in Florida and Massachusetts. From new construction to converting existing sheds, we guide you through every step of creating your ultimate golf simulator getaway.
Golf Simulator Shed Options
Pre-Fabricated Sheds
Several companies offer prefabricated sheds designed specifically for golf simulators. Available in multiple sizes and features, these modular sheds are easy to assemble and built for the technology you’ll need.
While you’ll still need to install the simulator gear yourself, prefab sheds provide a stylish and functional foundation for your golf sim shed
Converted Existing Sheds
If you already own a storage or garden shed, it can often be transformed into a simulator space. Reorganize tools and unused items to make room along one wall, or dedicate the entire shed to golf.
Upgrades like insulation, new flooring, or climate control can enhance the golf experience. Converted sheds are a flexible option for homeowners seeking custom golf simulator installations in Florida and Massachusetts without building from scratch.
Custom-Built Sheds
With a custom-built shed, the sky’s the limit. You can create a compact, golf-only setup or a larger recreational space with a bar, theater, and gym.
This option offers maximum flexibility but requires more planning and work. Careful consideration of design, space, and equipment placement ensures your simulator shed meets your goals for a professional golf simulator installation in Florida or Massachusetts.
Space Requirements for your golf sim shed
Ideal dimensions for a simulator shed vary depending on your setup:
- Recommended: 18′ L x 14′ W x 10′ H
- Minimum workable: 9′ L x 9′ W x 9′ H
At Golf2U, we’ve installed simulators in compact spaces as small as 8′ x 8′ x 8’6″ by tailoring designs to the space and golfer’s needs. Even in smaller sheds, we ensure a functional, enjoyable simulator experience for both casual and serious golfers in Florida and Massachusetts.

Frequently asked questions
How much space do I need for a simulator? Will it fit in my house?
To set up a golf simulator, you need to consider the height, width, and depth of the room.
- Ceiling Height: Ideally, you need at least 9 to 10 feet of ceiling height to swing a golf club comfortably, especially for taller players or those with a high swing. A height of 10 feet is generally recommended for maximum flexibility.
- Room Width: For the width, 12 feet is a common recommendation, allowing enough space for both right- and left-handed golfers to swing comfortably without hitting the walls.
- Room Depth: The room should be at least 15 feet deep, which allows space for the golfer to stand, the screen, and the projector or monitor setup. This distance also provides enough room for the ball to travel and the simulator to capture accurate data.

Will my simulator have other uses? Can I use it as a theatre room or for other sports?
Absolutely! Your entertainment space is about more than just golf.
Fortunately, we've use industry leading screens to withstand impacts from just about anything you can throw (or kick) at it. Further, your projector setup can serve double duty as a home theatre system, a larger than life workout app display, or immersive video game experience unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

What courses can I play on my golf simulator?
LOTS!
Most golf simulators offer a wide range of virtual courses, including world-famous PGA Tour courses, classic championship layouts, and even fictional or user-designed courses. The specific selection depends on the simulator software you’re using.
Some of the most popular real-world courses you can play include:
- Pebble Beach (available on TrackMan and TGC 2019)
- St. Andrews Links (on TrackMan, E6 CONNECT, TGC 2019)
- Whistling Straits (on TGC 2019)
- Bethpage Black (on E6 CONNECT and TGC 2019)
- TPC Sawgrass (on E6 CONNECT and TGC 2019)
- Royal St. George’s (on TGC 2019)
- Pinehurst No. 2 (on TrackMan, E6 CONNECT)
- Spyglass Hill (on TrackMan)
Some software, like TGC 2019, offers over 170,000 courses, including user-created ones, while others, such as E6 CONNECT, focus on high-quality recreations of around 90 courses. TrackMan and GSPro also offer excellent course selections and realistic gameplay. You'll want to discuss computer requirements with our team to make sure you have everything you need.

How much will my golf simulator cost and how fast can you build it?
Because Golf2U’s solutions are tailor made to your needs, it can be impossible to predict how long your build will take from start to finish. We'll do our best to set clear expectations about the complexity and timing of your build once we've gathered all your requirements. As a general rule, once we've agreed on a design, you can expect 3-4 weeks to make/gather your materials and execute your build.

Can a golf simulator help me improve my game?
Yes! A golf simulator can significantly improve your golf game. Here's how:
1. Practice Year-Round
A golf simulator allows you to practice your swing regardless of weather or season. With consistent, year-round practice, you can improve your muscle memory, swing mechanics, and overall consistency.
2. Data-Driven FeedbackSimulators provide real-time data on every shot, including ball speed, club speed, launch angle, spin rate, and shot dispersion. Analyzing these metrics helps you understand and adjust specific aspects of your swing, like your angle of attack, clubface alignment, or swing path. For example, systems like TrackMan and SkyTrak offer in-depth insights into your ball flight and performance.
3. Course Management
Playing virtual rounds on famous courses helps improve your course management skills. You learn how to approach different types of shots, manage hazards, and make better decisions on club selection. Many simulators allow you to practice on replicas of real-world courses, giving you a better understanding of how to navigate challenging layouts(Golfstead).
4. Targeted Practice
Most golf simulators offer practice modes that allow you to focus on specific aspects of your game, such as driving, iron play, or putting. You can practice in a controlled environment, repeat shots from the same position, and work on weak areas like bunker play or approach shots.
5. Mental Focus and Strategy
Regular simulator practice builds mental toughness by mimicking pressure situations, such as hitting a shot to a small target or making a crucial putt. This can translate into more focus and confidence during real rounds of golf.
By offering detailed feedback, unlimited practice opportunities, and simulations of real-world courses, a golf simulator is an excellent tool for improving your game

How much does a golf simulator cost
We're not trying to be cagey with this answer but.... IT DEPENDS! There are about 10 different components that make up the simulator which will dictate your overall cost. The biggest two things that will determine the cost of your simulator are 1. Which launch monitor you choose and 2. Whether you go with a custom built-in screen or an enclosure.
