How Much Does a Home Golf Simulator Cost? 4 Real Builds, Priced

A complete home golf simulator, with a launch monitor, enclosure and impact screen, projector and hitting mat, runs from $2,927.94 for our Entry build to $24,807.90 for our Luxury build at today’s prices, before you buy a computer or software. This page prices all four parts, assembles four complete builds from budget to high end, and uses owner ratings from our buyer survey, with more than 650 responses, to show where the money is best spent.

All prices were checked at Carl’s Place and Shop Indoor Golf (plus one VTrack listing at Golf Simulators Direct) on October 6, 2026, and the launch monitor is the part that sets the budget.
