I built the ultimate golf simulator in my home for under $10K — here's the products I used

Carls Place golf sim.

I've always dreamed of having a golf simulator in my home. I had an outdoor net-based practice place at my old house, but it just didn't offer the same level of satisfaction. Thankfully, I've moved to a new house with vaulted ceilings in the living room (and I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful girlfriend who let me steal the entire living room for a simulator), so I'm ready to go.

As someone who loves researching products and finding the best option, I eventually locked in Carl's Place as the go-to for my enclosure, hitting mats and everything else I needed to build a moderately affordable simulator. And the experience turned out to be better than I ever imagined. I even talked to Carl Markestad, the owner and namesake of Carl's Place, about golf simulators to learn more about getting a home unit up and running.
