Indoor Golf Simulator Room Size: Width, Depth and Height

There is no single minimum room size for every simulator

A package has several different footprints: its enclosure frame, room for the golfer's complete swing, the ball's path to the impact screen and the launch monitor's required position. Measuring only the screen is how an enclosure that fits on paper can become an unusable practice space.

For the SIG10 bundles in our catalog, the documented frame is 10'10" wide by 5' deep by 8'4" high. Many retailer package pages separately show 12' W × 12' D × 9' H as a minimum and 15' × 15' × 10' as a recommended room. Those numbers must still be checked against the exact monitor: the frame itself does not guarantee a sufficient full setup.

Measure width, depth and ceiling height separately

1. Width: measure the clear wall-to-wall space at your intended hitting position, including a comfortable full swing and any left-handed users. Frame width is only one constraint.
2. Depth: measure from the screen through the hitting position to the monitor and any safe space needed behind it. A behind-the-ball radar unit can require more room depth than the enclosure alone.
3. Height: measure the lowest obstruction, not the nominal ceiling. Account for ceiling-mounted monitors, lights, beams, the tallest golfer and the clubs they will use.

Never assume a published minimum is a safety certification or that every player can swing comfortably at that exact dimension. Try the full swing in the actual room before ordering.

ProTee VX: check the mount and swing space separately

The overhead VX avoids a rear radar zone, but its installation still needs these manufacturer checks:

• Height: 275–305 cm (about 9.02–10.01 ft). Measure from the hitting surface to the ceiling, including the mat or raised flooring. A nominal 9 ft ceiling is slightly below 275 cm even before adding a mat.
• Mount position: at 275 cm height, the horizontal offset from the ceiling-mount center to the hitting-area center is 100 cm (about 3 ft 3.4 in); at 305 cm, it is 110 cm (about 3 ft 7.3 in). These are the two published mounting examples; use the current installation guidance for your height.
• Swing space: the drawing recommends 250 cm (about 8 ft 2.4 in) clear to your left, right and behind for an unobstructed swing. Plan the hitting position around that clearance and check every golfer's full swing.

The VX sensing system sets no fixed screen-to-hitting-area distance. Screen safety, enclosure placement, swing clearance and projector geometry still determine the finished layout; these mounting examples do not establish a universal room minimum.

Examples from actual package pages

For the ProTee VX SIG10 package, the retailer lists 12' W × 12' D × 9' H minimum and 15' × 15' × 10' recommended. These are merchant package figures, not confirmation that the VX mounting and swing clearances above fit your room.

The Rapsodo MLM2PRO example combines the SIG10 room width and height with at least 6.5 feet of behind-the-ball spacing plus 8 feet of ball flight, producing 14.5 feet as a transparent lower-bound depth. Garmin R10 similarly combines the retailer's 15-foot R10 depth with the 12-foot SIG10 width. The Mevo Gen2 package lists a 12-foot general minimum but separately recommends 15+ feet of depth for radar performance. TrackMan iO publishes a mounting-height constraint without a complete room minimum on the listed package page.

This editable example uses a 14 ft wide × 20 ft deep × 10 ft high room and a right-handed, 6 ft golfer. It is a separate, partial Carl's build: it does not show the SIG10 package in our catalog or guarantee that your swing fits.

Open the preview, choose Load Shared Build, then edit the room and equipment at Carl's Place. The configurator recalculates the component price as you make changes; that total is not a finished-room quote.
