How much room you need
Inside dimensions. Before you commit, have the tallest golfer swing a driver slowly where the mat will go.
| Measurement | Minimum | Comfortable | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ceiling | ~9 ft | ~10 ft | Under 9 ft, see low-ceiling simulators |
| Width | ~10 ft | ~12 ft | Add 1 to 2 ft if left- and right-handed golfers share the bay |
| Depth | ~12–15 ft | ~15–17 ft | Radar monitors sit behind the golfer and need about 15 ft |
| With seating | +3–4 ft | 20–24 ft deep | Fits a couch, bar stools or a counter behind the player |
The mat sits about 10 ft from the screen, with about 7 ft of clear swing space behind the tee. In a shallower room, or with a radar monitor behind the golfer, put seating in a back corner.
