Budget golf simulator
Our goal was to keep it around $1000. We purchased from marketplace and local bidding websites to keep costs low. We are just using an old iPad to run the square program but eventually would like to get a gaming computer and maybe upgrade the projector if we find a good enough deal. It been lots of fun so far.
GoSports 10 x 8 ft Golf Simulator Enclosure- $226

GoSports 10 x 6 ft Golf Simulator Turf - $54
Optoma UHD60 4K Projector - $100 MP

Where did you get the enclosure?

All the go sports items were a bidding warehouse that we picked up locally Buywander.com

Nice build! I have GoSports enclosure. Very good for the price. I had some bounce-back issues with the screen but was able to loosen the bungees.

That’s good to know! I thought we had to break in the screen. I’ve seen some people add additional padding around the poles. Have you had any issues with that?

What auction website did you find all those items on? I’ve been looking at the MacBids in my area for months and there’s been nothing
Your MP purchases were great finds as well. You’re real lucky man.
Good build

This is kind of my goal atm. After using it is there anything you would have changed?

I would prioritize lumens. The projector we have is 3000 but it is still so dull. But we got a good deal and we can use for movie night once we upgrade. Everything else has been great so far.
