My siblings and I are trying to come up with what to get our dad for Christmas. He's the type that has everything he wants, he sees it and wants it he just buys it. Hard to get him a good gift. He plays a ton of golf and my mom has been playing the past year with him. For $5,000ish could I find a golf simulator package to set up for them? The goal is not for him to have a set up to go crazy with metrics but just hit balls and play a virtual course. They have a barn in their backyard that has plenty of space, I selfishly want to get it for them so I can use it too. I haven't done a deep dive on the research side and I'm not familiar with any sims yet.

Any recommendations? Anyone think this is a bad idea?

Yes. Depending on how much work you want to put into I would say. I am all into mine for roughly $3500. I spent alot of time researching and customizing my build to fit my area, but my goal was to have something playable for fun and to get better. I didnt need the best of the best. It serves its purpose and looks great too.

Some of the major componets are:
Garmin R10
Gungho Holy Grail Hitting Strip
Carl's 10x10 Preferred Impact Screen
BenQ 671 Projector
Sports Screen Roller
Apple TV
Ipad (already owned)
Money turf
1" workout tiles to build base
Heavy duty theater curtains for side protection
Carpet tiles to cover exposed cement

If you don't want to piece it together yourself DIY style, this one is $5k. It doesn't include a computer/ipad and the sim software, so that could add another $1k+ if you don't already have a computer/ipad that can run the software.
