Indoor Golf Simulator Dimensions?
Posted on 1/22/26 at 3:27 pm

Thinking of building an indoor sim in a room that is 18' x 18' x 10' height. Is that enough depth (18') for an indoor sim setup? If so, what setup would you recommend? TIA

10’ is a bit close for my taste

That's plenty for a sim but it might feel a little tight if you want a bunch of seating or something extra. You can generally put a sofa to the side, but behind is cutting it close. (Screen 1ft from wall + 8-9 ft to hitting area + 7 ft swing arc with driver means you're not far from the back.)
Generally, ~14ft in width is enough for a centered hitting strip. You can offset if only hitting from one side.
10ft ceilings is good enough for all but the tallest and steepest swings.

I’m telling you- increase the height. It may seem ok but it’ll stick in your head when you pull out the lumber that you MAY hit the ceiling. You won’t but it’ll still affect your swing and jack you up.

10’ is what I have and it’s plenty - I’m curious about the 18’ depth

You can visualize the size in the BenQ sim planner or search on reddit golf simulator sub for people that have built them out. Carl's place has a guideline on minimum space on their site as well.
The only item sim specific that 18' is pushing the limits on is radar-based launch monitors. That's near the minimum ball flight they'd need (Trackman 4, Mevo+, and similar).
What are you envisioning in the space? Do you have a launch monitor, budget for all the other items, etc. in mind?

10 high is tight for a driver swing.

10 feet is fine.

10 feet is plenty unless you are 7’ tall.
