Residential · DIY+
All 20+ components purchased and delivered. A full instructional guide — drawings, plans, build order, mounting locations, turf cutting, screen tensioning, software setup, cable management. Everything you need to build it yourself.
What Is DIY+
Buying a golf simulator online sounds simple — until you're three weeks deep in forums trying to figure out which launch monitor pairs with which projector, whether your ceiling clears, and why your throw ratio is wrong.
DIY+ skips all of that. Our team handles the consulting, the design, and the sourcing. You get a finished plan, a curated component list, and a build guide written for your space. Your job is to install it — or hire someone who can swing a hammer.
Boxed Kits vs. DIY+
Sim-in-a-Box kits are tempting. One pallet, one price, done. But here's what happens after the excitement of unboxing fades: a 10-foot frame in your 10-foot-6-inch room. A projector cart you're tripping over. A screen that tears in 18 months. Software locked behind a $499/year subscription.
Those kits were designed for a product sheet — not for your space. DIY+ is the smarter path.
Boxed kits come in 10', 11', 12', or 13' wide. Period. Got a beam at 11'4"? A duct at 8'2"? We design to maximize every inch. No wasted space.
Sim-in-a-Box locks you into one brand. With DIY+, pick the tech that fits: Foresight, Uneekor, SkyTrak, Garmin, FlightScope — we're brand-agnostic.
The #1 complaint about boxed kits? Screen durability. Stock screens wear out in two years. We spec commercial-grade impact screens built for thousands of driver strikes.
Some kits require $499/year just to unlock third-party software. We help you pick a setup with software freedom from day one — GSPro, E6, TGC, Awesome Golf. No recurring tolls.
Boxed kits include a standard-throw projector that needs 15+ feet of depth. We match projector type to your room — short throw, ultra-short throw, ceiling-mounted, properly calibrated.
Not a 4-by-8 mat from a catalog. Full fairway-feel hitting strips, proper landing zones, and padding that protects your joints over thousands of swings.

The Process
Every DIY+ project moves through a structured three-phase process. Each phase has a dedicated team and a defined deliverable — so you always know where you stand and what's coming next.
Our sales team walks through your space, goals, and budget. We ask the right questions so every product decision is built around your exact scenario — not a generic recommendation.
Our design team creates a precise layout for your space — catching conflicts before they become problems on install day. Drawings you can hand to a contractor or execute yourself.
The definitive how-to for your specific build. Not a generic manual — written around your exact equipment, your room, and your install from first anchor to final calibration.
The "+"
The "+" in DIY+ is the part most homeowners underestimate: every cable, mount, bracket, fastener, and accessory — purchased on your behalf and delivered as one coordinated kit. We know what gets forgotten, what gets ordered wrong, and what gets returned three times before it's right.
One curated kit. One delivery. Down to the exact length of the HDMI cable that runs from your PC to your projector — and the right anchors for your ceiling type.
Selected for your software, swing style, and room depth. Compatibility with projector and compute verified before you spend a dollar.
Throw ratio calculated for your exact projection distance. Brightness spec'd for your ambient light level and screen material.
Sized to your opening width and ceiling clearance. Frame spec and screen material matched to your usage and setup type.
Cut-in dimensions, mat size, and backing type matched to your subfloor. No slipping, no overhang, no guessing on thickness.
PC spec matched to your chosen simulator software. Runs at full settings without overspending on hardware you don't need.
HDMI runs, cable lengths, projector arm, launch monitor bracket, power management — every accessory accounted for in your complete kit list.
Who It's For
DIY+ is for the homeowner who doesn't need a crew on site — just a solid plan, the right equipment in the right order, and the confidence that every decision was made by people who've done this hundreds of times.
Comfortable with a drill, a level, and basic wiring. You've done projects before — this is just another one, with a better plan than most home builds ever get.
You have a local contractor, handyman, or trusted friend who can run the install. Our design docs and build guide are written to hand off — clear enough for any competent tradesperson to follow.
You want to own every decision. Not looking for someone to just figure it out — you want to know exactly what you're buying, why it was chosen, and how it all connects.
Pricing & Savings
Hiring a professional team to travel, source, and build your simulator is the gold standard — priced accordingly. DIY+ delivers the same expert design and sourcing at a fraction of the cost, because you bring the labor.
We travel to your home, handle all procurement, and build and calibrate the full system. White-glove, nationwide. Full price.
Same expert design. Same sourced components. A complete build guide written for your specific install. You provide the labor — we provide everything else.
Forum rabbit holes. Compatibility mistakes. Wrong cable lengths. Remounted projectors. Returned products. This is exactly why DIY+ exists.
Equipment sourced through Launch House may be eligible for wholesale pricing. Ask during your consultation.
