The parts of the job
Enclosure or screen, hitting mat, projector mount, launch monitor, wiring and sometimes lighting and acoustic panels.
Quote by package
Offer good, better and best packages with clear equipment lists. Separate construction work like framing or drywall from the simulator itself.
Show the finished room
Photos and short videos of completed rooms sell more than equipment specs. Show a real swing on the screen.
Partners
Golf shops, club pros, basement remodelers and home theater installers send referrals.
Timing
Demand rises before winter. Start marketing in late summer so installs are booked before the first snow.
Common mistakes
Selling equipment before measuring, ignoring projector placement, hiding construction costs and skipping the swing test.

Frequently asked questions
What ceiling height does a golf simulator need?
It depends on the golfer's height and swing, so measure with the client swinging a driver in the space. Many installers look for around 9 to 10 feet, but always check the manufacturer's recommendation for the setup.
