Booking and pricing

How much space do I need for a golf simulator rental?

Plan for roughly 15 feet wide by 18 feet deep by 10 feet high for the full event footprint. The impact screen itself is 12 feet wide by 9 feet tall and needs about 12 feet of depth for the hitting mat and swing area, but the full footprint includes room for the people watching. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the space and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

No. No upfront payment is required. We only take payment on the day of your event, when we arrive to set up. If something goes wrong on our end, you have not paid for anything.

How long does setup take?

Under an hour in most venues. We handle delivery, professional setup, calibration, and complete breakdown after the event. Your team does not need to do anything or be involved.

How long can I rent the simulator for?

Anywhere from one hour to multiple days in a row. Pricing is built around duration, location, and how many people will be using it, so a two-hour cocktail hour and a three-day trade show are quoted very differently.

What does it cost to rent a golf simulator?

Our minimum setup is $700, and most events land above it. From there every event is quoted individually, because the variables genuinely change the price, how long you need it, how far we travel, how many guests, and whether you want an attendant. If your budget is under $700 we are not the right fit, and we would rather tell you that now.

Space, setup and equipment

Can you set up outdoors?

Yes, with one important difference: outdoor events use a TV rather than a projector and screen, because daylight glare makes a projected image unusable. Indoors we use the full projector and impact screen setup.

What happens if the weather turns?

We adjust the setup, move indoors, or reschedule where that is possible. If none of those work, you get a full or partial refund depending on the circumstances. Since you have not paid upfront, you are not chasing us for money.

Do you provide clubs and balls?

Yes, included with every rental: a full set of right- and left-handed clubs, plus both foam and real golf balls so the setup suits the space and the crowd. Also included are safety netting and a detailed walkthrough of how everything works.

What if none of my guests actually play golf?

That is most events, and it is usually the point. The simulator is easy enough that a complete beginner gets a good shot within a few swings, and foam balls keep it relaxed. Our most common feedback is from people who told us they do not golf and then would not leave.

Can someone stay and run it for us?

Yes. You can add a professional on-site attendant who stays for the full duration of your event, handles the technology, and keeps the rotation moving so nobody hogs it.

What equipment do you use?

A Foresight GC3 launch monitor, the same tier of hardware used in club fitting and teaching facilities. The course library includes Augusta National, Cypress Point, Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, and many more.

Can my guests bring their own clubs?

Yes, and plenty do. A full set of right- and left-handed clubs comes with every rental, but anyone who prefers their own gamer is welcome to bring it. Nothing about the setup requires our clubs specifically.

How do I actually secure my date?

You sign a contract and the date is yours. No deposit, no card on file, nothing collected at booking. Payment happens on the day of the event once we have set up. Signing is what holds the slot, so the earlier you sign the safer a contested date is.

What screen setup do you use indoors versus outdoors?

Indoors we run a projector onto a 12ft by 9ft impact screen, which gives the best image. Outdoors in daylight we switch to a TV, because glare washes a projected image out completely. Same launch monitor, same courses, same gameplay either way.

Can more than one person play at a time?

One person hits at a time, but the software handles multiple players in a rotation, so groups take turns within the same round. With an on-site attendant running the rotation the queue keeps moving, which is why we recommend one for anything over about thirty guests.

Arizona

What areas of Arizona do you cover?

The whole state. Phoenix and Scottsdale are where we are busiest and have their own pages, and we regularly work Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear and Buckeye, plus Tucson, Flagstaff, Prescott and Casa Grande. Travel is built into the quote rather than added as a surprise.

Is it too hot to do this outdoors in Arizona?

From roughly May through September, for a daytime outdoor event, yes, and we will say so rather than take the booking. Indoors it makes no difference at all and summer is genuinely easier to book. Higher-elevation cities like Flagstaff and Prescott stay comfortable outdoors when the Valley does not.

When does Arizona book out?

The stretch around the Waste Management Open and spring training in February is the most contested fortnight of our year, and those dates routinely go three to six months ahead. October through April is busy generally. July and August are the easiest months to get a short-notice date.

New England

What areas of New England do you cover?

Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. We are based in Narragansett, Rhode Island, and regularly work Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Quincy, Newton and Worcester, all of Rhode Island including Newport and the South County shoreline, and Connecticut from Hartford through New Haven to the Fairfield County towns. We do not currently serve New Hampshire, Vermont or Maine.

Will a simulator fit in a historic New England venue?

Sometimes, and it is the question worth asking first. We need roughly 15ft by 18ft with 10ft of height. Many of the region's best-looking rooms have low ceilings or stair-only access with no service elevator. Send us the venue name and the room dimensions. Confirming the space works is your responsibility, but we will tell you honestly whether those numbers work before you commit.

When is the busy season in New England?

November through March, heavily. The courses shut around November and that is exactly when corporate holiday parties and winter events fill the calendar. December is our most contested month here, so book it by early autumn. Summer is our quiet season, which makes a July date easy to place.

Chicago

Are you operating in Chicago yet?

We open on November 1st, 2026, and the calendar is open now. Same crew model, same equipment and the same terms as Arizona and New England: nothing is collected until the day of your event.

Which parts of Chicago will you cover?

We are starting with downtown and the surrounding neighbourhoods, the Loop, River North, West Loop, Fulton Market and Streeterville. The wider radius is still being finalised, so if you are outside that core, ask anyway. Early bookings shape where we cover.

Why book before you have opened?

Because the opening season is the only time our calendar is wide open. We run one setup per slot, so December fills first, and in Phoenix and Boston the holiday weeks are gone by early autumn. There is no risk in booking early either way, since nothing is paid until the day.

Still not answered?

Send the question with your date and venue. A person reads it and replies within one business hour, and you will get a real answer rather than a request to book a call.
