Golf Simulator Enclosure FAQ

Do I need a full enclosure for my golf simulator?

A full enclosure isn’t strictly required, but it greatly improves safety and immersion. Enclosures from AllSportSystems and The Net Return help contain mis-hits, protect walls and ceilings, and create a clean, framed hitting bay.

What size enclosure should I choose?

Your room width and ceiling height will determine the best size. For most home setups, a 10 ft or 12 ft bay (like the Net Return Simulator Bay 10 or 12) or a comparable AllSportSystems enclosure is ideal. Always measure your space before ordering.

Can I move my enclosure or use it in multiple spaces?

Many Net Return systems are designed to be assembled and disassembled, making them easier to move. AllSportSystems enclosures are more fixed-frame and optimized for semi-permanent or permanent setups.

What projector works best with these enclosures?

Short-throw projectors are usually your best bet. Models like the BenQ AH500ST, AH700ST, and LK936ST are excellent choices. Use our throw distance calculator to confirm the mounting distance for your chosen bay.

Can Golf HQs help me pick the right enclosure?

Yes. If you send us your room dimensions, we can recommend the best AllSportSystems or Net Return enclosure and pair it with the right projector and layout for your space.
