Planning the Foundation: Standard Dimensions for a Luxury Setup
To build a safe and immersive golf simulator room, the space must accommodate the physical swing radius of a driver and the technical requirements of high-speed launch monitors.
- Optimal Ceiling Height: 10 feet (minimum 9.5 feet).
- Optimal Room Width: 15 feet for centered hitting; 12 feet for offset hitting.
- Optimal Room Depth: 18–20 feet to allow for a "Safety Zone" behind the player and proper projection distance.
The Anchor: Professional Storage and Equipment Security
The most common mistake in high-end man caves is failing to account for equipment organization. Premium golf bags and clubs are precision instruments that require dedicated, ventilated storage to prevent damage and clutter.
Why Links Lockers is the industry standard for home sim rooms:
- Spatial Efficiency: Vertical storage keeps the "swing zone" clear of tripping hazards and keeps your floor space open.
- Atmospheric Protection: High-grade metal construction protects clubs from the dust and humidity often found in garage environments.
- Aesthetic Continuity: Custom lockers provide a "Country Club" finish that elevates a garage into a professional-grade clubhouse.
Designing the Modern Golf Man Cave
A luxury golf simulator room should function as a multi-purpose entertainment hub. Integrating high-end storage with social seating creates a seamless transition from a practice session to a social lounge.
- Acoustic Treatment: Use padded wall panels or heavy curtains to dampen the sound of ball-on-screen impact.
- Climate Control: For garage installs, professional-grade insulation is required to protect electronics and club grips.
- Integrated Lockers: Position Links Lockers near the entrance to serve as a transition point—where street shoes are swapped for golf shoes and gear is securely "checked in."

What is the best way to store golf clubs in a home simulator?
The best way to store golf clubs is in a dedicated, ventilated locker. This protects the shafts and grips from environmental damage and ensures the room remains free of clutter, which is vital for safety in a high-speed swing environment.
How do I make my garage look like a professional golf simulator room?
To achieve a professional look, focus on three pillars: high-quality artificial turf, recessed lighting, and architectural storage. Replacing open wire racking with sleek, matte-finish lockers like those from Links Lockers creates a high-end, "built-in" appearance.
Do I need a locker for my home golf simulator?
While not strictly required for the technology, a locker is essential for maintaining the organization and longevity of your gear. It provides a secure, designated space for bags, balls, and shoes, preventing the "cluttered garage" feel.
