    Home golf simulator?

    Hey guys anyone here have a golf simulator at there home/ man cave? I'm looking at getting one for home practice but don't want to break the bank either. I have found one at Playbetter.com for around 7k it's a Skytrak with a 10ft screen and mat along with projector. Is this a good deal or not ?. Thanks for any advice.

    Not sure if it's a good deal, but it's a great product. I don't have the space, but would make sure it provides accurate #'s. Buddy has a lower cost simulator and it's fun, questionable numbers.

    I am the process of making one in my yard. I have the frame up already. I will enclose it with tarps and golf netting.
    it is 8’ at the back where the impact screen goes and 10’ at the front opening. I bought a RAPSODO MLM2PRO Launch Monitor to use with it. IF this Pa weather ever gets warm I can finish the enclosure.

    Not completely finished yet. Still have some loose ends to get done. I have to wrap a few things and then try it out.
    I'd say 95% done.

    A kid I used to work with installed a sky track in his garage and plays every day. If it’s below freezing out they just turn on the heaters. It’s expensive, but if you’re really into golf then you’ll get your moneys worth. I just got done with a simulator today, they charge $45 an hour. Play 150 hours and it pays for itself
