I’ve always thought golf was one of those things you need a full day, good weather, and a proper course to enjoy.

Recently tried an indoor setup with simulators and honestly… it completely changed my perspective.

You can play full rounds, practice specific shots, and even get feedback on your swing all indoors. No weather issues, no pressure, just focused practice (and it’s actually pretty fun).

I’m still a beginner, but it feels like a much easier way to improve compared to going straight onto a course.

Anyone else tried indoor golf? Is it actually useful long term or just more of a fun experience?

I didn’t expect much when I first tried an indoor golf simulator, but it honestly surprised me. I went in thinking it would feel kind of artificial compared to being on an actual course, but the tech is way more advanced than I imagined.

You can play on famous courses, track your swing in detail, and actually see where you're messing up. It’s also way less intimidating than a real course, especially if you’re still learning or just want to practice without pressure.

What I liked most is that you can just show up, play, and not worry about weather, time, or holding people up behind you. It kind of removes all the annoying parts and keeps the fun part.

Curious if anyone else here prefers this over traditional golf or uses it just for practice?

I'm trying to find a cheap or inexpensive flooring to put under the turf to prevent the ball from bouncing after hitting the screen. any suggestions.

I hate the new update to the square software... 2.0 version. I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on GSpro. Can anyone say if there's a reason not to purchase GSpro to use with the square?

I'm opening an indoor golf simulation facility, hopefully within 2-3 months!

We'll have multiple simulator bays and plan to offer memberships, walk-ins, and corporate events (the usual). I know it seems like a lower-risk activity compared to something like axe throwing, but people are still swinging clubs in enclosed spaces and there's expensive equipment involved.

I've been looking into general liability and also accident with participant coverage but I'm not sure if I need both or if one covers enough. Anyone running a golf sim business who can share what coverage they have?

Thanks in advance!

I have 12 width / 10 ft ht / 20 ft deep. I would like to get a system that allows both right & left handed players hit without moving the system (Skytrack). Ps…I don’t have a Trackman budget 😞. Any suggestions??

I didn’t expect this to feel like actual therapy, but here we are.

I’ve been pretty stressed lately (work + life stacking up), and a friend dragged me to try one of those indoor golf simulator places. I don’t even play golf regularly, so I thought it would be a waste of time.

But something about it just… slowed everything down.

You’re focused on your swing, your breathing, your timing. No phone, no noise, no pressure. Just you trying to hit one clean shot at a time. And when you finally do, it feels ridiculously satisfying.

I ended up staying way longer than planned. Didn’t fix my life obviously, but I walked out feeling way calmer than when I walked in.

Anyone else randomly find something like this that just helps you reset mentally?

Just launched and it is pretty impressive. You can save your build, see it in 3D, give it your actual space dimensions, pick real products, check projector placement, send the build to others and once click add to cart when you are happy with it.
