⛳ 3 Space-Saving Golf Simulator Setups for Your Garage

Whether you're limited on space or looking for a budget-friendly option, these three golf simulator setups from our Reddit community are clever ways to get the most out of your garage without sacrificing functionality.

1. Curtain Net System by u/hairy_designer_5724

If you're looking for a budget-friendly and durable setup, this curtain net system might be your go-to option. Here's what makes it stand out:

Durable Conduit Hangers: Instead of using plastic curtain systems, which are prone to break, they opted for sturdy conduit hangers. This adds to the longevity of the setup, perfect for those who plan to swing daily.
Space-Saving TV Mount: Their unique manual flip-down TV mount allows you to enjoy a full entertainment experience while practicing your swing. When you're done, simply flip it up and out of the way. It's perfect for garages where space is limited.

2. Fully Retractable Platform by u/bulldoggordon

Need to park two cars in your garage but still want to fit in a golf simulator? u/bulldoggordon's retractable platform might be the perfect solution.

Custom-Built Platform: They built a 2-inch platform that supports their simulator. When not in use, it’s hoisted up to the ceiling using a winch pulley system. This clever design keeps the floor space clear for other uses, like parking vehicles, without dismantling the simulator setup.

3. Retractable Garage Screen by u/GloriousGloryGG

U/GloriousGloryGG has a pretty classic setup—they use a SportScreen retractable screen to cover their garage. But one of the more unique elements of this setup is the use of a tarp to cover the turf after each practice session.

Creative and Cost-Effective: Instead of rolling up their hitting mat, they simply park their car over the turf after laying down a tarp. It’s a low-cost and effective way to protect the surface without the hassle of constantly rearranging equipment.
