Before the 2025 Masters, I had decided I was probably done playing golf.
I picked up the hobby about seven years ago, learned the game, and saw myself actually getting better at the sport. Although I’m not brave enough to tell the world my scores. Since then, I got married, bought a house, had a child, and lost most of my free time that I was devoting to golf. I only golfed once last year, and my clubs are still sitting inside my front porch, untouched for almost a calendar year.
I flipped on The Masters as background noise while I worked from home last week, and I found myself tuning in during the weekend. That last round and playoff round were incredible theater, and it reminded me why I enjoyed playing the sport in the first place.
As I work out of a local coffee shop the day after the Masters concluded, I’m seeing a lot of golf attire, so I’m not the only one with golf on the mind today. I’m sure a lot of these same people would love a golf simulator in their basement, garage, or other space, so here are some projects we’ve covered that may make some golf enthusiasts envious.
Minn. Integrator Scores Major Win with Golf Simulator Space & More
Admit One Home Systems designed a luxury golf simulator room as part of a vacation property in Minnesota, integrating a Full Swing simulator with premium AV and control components. The space blends high-end performance with elegant aesthetics, using a Sony laser projector, custom acoustic treatments, and Elan automation for seamless control of lighting, AV, and climate. The result is an immersive, year-round golf experience tailored for both play and relaxation.
NYC Integrator Sage AV’s Wise Decisions Achieve Lab 18 Project Success
The project for the indoor golf facility Lab 18 in Roslyn, N.Y., started through a shared passion for golf between the owner and Sage AV CEO Justin Schwartz. The owner sought Sage AV’s expertise to integrate state-of-the-art technology into the facility, focusing on ease of use for tech novices. The core tech includes TrackMan golf simulators and Puttview’s projection mapping system for the indoor putting green experience. The facility also features WyreStorm’s AVoIP system, Sonos for music, Savant for controls, and BrightSign media players for digital signage.
Golf Simulator Helps Integrator Tee Up New Revenue Stream
Current Home Technologies, led by owner Tony Curtis, has created a new revenue model around a Golfzon Vision Premium golf simulator in their 3,500-square-foot showroom in Vancouver, Wash. Curtis became a Golfzon dealer and designed the space to attract customers who would pay to use the simulator, complementing it with a sports bar, 19th Hole On Main, where guests can enjoy drinks after a round. The showroom features Golfzon’s extensive offering of 190 courses, with demos like Pebble Beach and interactive experiences including swing replays and online tournaments.
Fla. Integrator Millennium Systems Design Maximizes Modus VR Software Tool
​Orlando-based integrator Millennium Systems Design (now part of Daisy) leveraged Modus VR to streamline the design and sales process for a golf simulator room project. Technician Austin Crouthamel utilized the virtual reality platform to create a detailed, real-time 3D model of the space, allowing clients to visualize the design and make informed decisions.
This approach not only impressed clients but also significantly reduced costs and time compared to traditional 2D renderings, enhancing collaboration and accelerating project timelines.
At Bridge View Cinema, Homeowners Can Watch Movies, Sing Karaoke and Even Play Golf
​The Bridge View Cinema project by Denote in Sydney, Australia, is a luxury home theater that also includes a golf simulator. The homeowners requested a golf simulator, which Denote integrated into the space. This addition complements the theater’s high-end AV systems, providing a multifaceted entertainment experience.
Finnish Luxury Home Features In-Home Golf Simulator, Massive Artificial Skylight, More
In a Finnish luxury home, integrator Digisähkö installed a full golf simulator in the basement to provide year-round entertainment for the golf-loving homeowner. While the simulator itself isn’t integrated with the home’s Control4 automation system, the overall setup ensures robust connectivity and seamless operation throughout the property. This addition addresses the challenges of Finland’s dark, cold winters, offering the homeowner an ideal indoor golfing experience.
