A Complete Golf Practice Setup for Home or Garage
The Net Return Home Package is an all-in-one golf practice solution designed for golfers who want a high-quality setup without needing a large dedicated golf room.
With a 7-foot-wide × 7-foot-high hitting area and a compact 3-foot-6-inch depth, the Home Package is designed to fit comfortably in garages, spare rooms, basements, backyards, and other areas where space is limited.
The package combines The Net Return's proven automatic ball-return net with the essential accessories needed to create a dedicated practice station. It's an excellent choice for golfers who want to practice more often, spend less time retrieving golf balls, and have a convenient place to work on their game year-round.
The Home Series uses the same premium construction philosophy as the Pro Series, with a durable aluminum frame, UV-protected polyester sleeve, and commercial-grade netting. The primary difference is the size of the hitting area.
What's Included
The Home Package includes the major components needed to create a complete golf practice station:
- The Net Return Home Series Golf Net
- Pro Turf
- Side Barriers
- Sandbags
- Rubber Tees
- Duffle Bag
- Net frame and support components
The package is designed to give you a ready-to-use practice environment without having to purchase each component separately.
Home Package Dimensions
The Net Return Home Package is designed to provide a generous hitting area while maintaining a compact footprint.
Net Dimensions
-
Width: 7 feet
-
Height: 7 feet
-
Depth: 3 feet 6 inches
-
Weight: Approximately 26 lbs.
-
Maximum Ball Speed: 225 MPH
-
Ball Return: Yes
The 7' × 7' hitting area provides ample coverage for golf practice while making the Home Package easier to fit into smaller spaces than the larger Pro Series configurations.
Recommended Room Size
The net itself requires only a 7-foot-wide footprint, but you should allow considerably more space around it for the golfer and equipment.
Minimum Recommended Room
10' W × 14' D × 9' H
This provides room for the net, hitting mat, golfer, and basic swing clearance.
Ideal Room
11–12' W × 16–18' D × 9.5–10' H+
The additional room provides a more comfortable hitting environment and gives you greater flexibility when positioning the hitting mat and golfer.
Important
These are planning recommendations, not manufacturer-required minimum room dimensions. Your actual requirements will depend on:
- Golfer height
- Swing characteristics
- Club length
- Hitting position
- Ceiling obstacles
- Launch monitor requirements
- Projector requirements
- Available space behind the golfer
Always verify that you have sufficient clearance for a full swing before installation.
Why Choose the Net Return Home Package?
The Home Package is designed for golfers who want a convenient, easy-to-use practice environment without the larger footprint of the Pro Series.
Compact Footprint
At just 7 feet wide and 3'6" deep, the Home Package can fit into many areas where larger golf nets aren't practical.
Automatic Ball Return
One of The Net Return's biggest advantages is its automatic ball-return design. After impact, the ball rolls back toward the golfer, allowing you to spend more time practicing and less time retrieving golf balls.
Durable Construction
The Home Series uses a durable aluminum frame, UV-protected polyester sleeve, and commercial-grade netting. The net is designed to handle golf balls traveling at speeds up to 225 MPH.
Ready-Made Practice Station
Instead of purchasing a net and then trying to determine which accessories you need, the Home Package brings the primary practice components together in one setup.
Perfect for Home Golf Practice
The Home Package is ideal for golfers who want to practice:
- Full swings
- Chipping
- Wedges
- Iron play
- Driving
- Distance control
- Ball striking
- Swing consistency
Set it up in your garage, basement, spare room, or backyard and turn unused space into a convenient practice area.

The manufacturer currently lists the Home at 7' × 7', Pro at 8' × 7'6", Pro 8 at 8' × 8', Pro 9 at 9' × 8', and Pro 10 at 10' × 8'. All have a 3'6" net depth and 225 MPH maximum ball-speed rating.
Which Size Should You Choose?
Choose the Home Package if:
Space is limited and you primarily want a convenient practice net.
The 7' × 7' footprint makes it an excellent choice for a garage, basement, spare room, or backyard where a larger net isn't practical.
Choose the Pro Package if:
You want a little more width and height.
The Pro increases the hitting area to 8' × 7'6" while maintaining the same 3'6" depth.
Choose the Pro 8 if:
You want an 8' × 8' hitting area.
The additional height and larger hitting area make it a strong option for garage or dedicated practice spaces.
Choose the Pro 9 if:
You want additional lateral space.
The 9-foot width provides a larger hitting area for golfers with more available room.
Choose the Pro 10 if:
You have the room and want maximum width.
The 10' × 8' hitting area provides the most lateral room of these four configurations and is particularly well suited for larger dedicated practice spaces.
Recommended Room Sizes
For customers shopping your EliteCore Athletics store, I'd recommend presenting the room requirements this way:
Home Package
Minimum: 10' W × 14' D × 9' H
Ideal: 11–12' W × 16–18' D × 9.5–10' H+
Pro Package
Minimum: 11' W × 14' D × 9' H
Ideal: 12–13' W × 16–18' D × 10' H+
Pro 8 Package
Minimum: 11' W × 15' D × 9' H
Ideal: 12–13' W × 17–18' D × 10' H+
Pro 9 Package
Minimum: 12' W × 15' D × 9' H
Ideal: 13–14' W × 17–18' D × 10' H+
Pro 10 Package
Minimum: 13' W × 15' D × 9' H
Ideal: 14–15' W × 18–20' D × 10' H+
Again, these room sizes are recommended planning guidelines, allowing space for the golfer and swing rather than simply measuring the net footprint.
Can You Use the Home Package for a Golf Simulator?
Yes—the Home Package can serve as the starting point for a golf simulator, but the simulator components need to be selected carefully around the smaller 7' × 7' hitting area.
A complete simulator configuration can include:
Launch Monitor
Pair the setup with a compatible launch monitor to capture shot data and provide an interactive golf experience.
Depending on the configuration, EliteCore Athletics offers options from:
- Uneekor
- Bushnell
- FlightScope
- SkyTrak
Projector
If you're adding a projector, select one based on the available room, image size, throw distance, brightness, and mounting location.
Hitting Mat
A dedicated golf hitting mat can be added to create a more realistic and comfortable hitting surface.
Simulator Software
Compatible simulator software can turn your practice setup into a virtual golf experience with:
- Virtual courses
- Driving ranges
- Shot analysis
- Practice modes
- Skills challenges
- Multiplayer golf
For a smaller room, the launch monitor and projector should be selected after measuring the room, rather than simply choosing equipment based on price.
Measure Your Room Before Ordering
Before purchasing the Home Package, measure:
1. Room Width
You need enough room for the 7-foot-wide net plus comfortable clearance on either side.
2. Room Depth
Allow space for:
- Net
- Hitting mat
- Golfer
- Launch monitor
- Swing clearance
- Walkway behind the golfer
3. Ceiling Height
A 9-foot ceiling may work for many golfers, but 9.5–10 feet or higher is preferred.
4. Swing Clearance
Don't simply measure the ceiling from floor to ceiling. Stand in the intended hitting position and make a full swing with your longest club.
Check for:
- Ceiling fans
- Lights
- Garage door hardware
- Beams
- Ductwork
- Other obstructions
Ideal Uses
The Net Return Home Package is an excellent choice for:
- Home garages
- Spare bedrooms
- Basements
- Home gyms
- Backyards
- Golf practice rooms
- Compact training spaces
- Multi-purpose rooms
Its smaller footprint makes it one of the easiest ways to add dedicated golf practice to your home.
