The Net Return Simulator Kit is an all-in-one solution for golfers who want to transform a garage, basement, bonus room, or dedicated golf space into a reliable home golf simulator. Designed around The Net Return’s proven golf net and simulator components, this setup gives you the flexibility to practice, play virtual courses, and improve your game without requiring a permanent build-out.
Whether you're looking for a dedicated simulator room or a setup that can serve multiple purposes, the Net Return Simulator Kit provides a practical combination of impact protection, ball containment, projection, and golf practice functionality.
Recommended Room Size
For the best overall experience, we recommend a room approximately:
Minimum:
-
Width: 12 feet
-
Height: 9 feet
-
Depth: 15 feet
Recommended:
-
Width: 14 feet+
-
Height: 10 feet+
-
Depth: 18–20 feet+
A 12' × 15' room can work for many golfers, but additional width and depth provide substantially more room for a comfortable stance, projector placement, ball flight, and right- or left-handed players.
What's Included
The exact configuration can be customized based on your room and simulator goals, but a complete Net Return simulator setup can include:
-
The Net Return Pro Series golf net for reliable ball containment and practice
-
Simulator screen for displaying your golf simulator software
-
Golf hitting mat designed for repeated club and ball strikes
-
Projector matched to your room dimensions and screen size
-
Launch monitor to track ball and/or club data
-
Side and overhead protection where required
- Compatible simulator software for playing virtual courses and practicing
- Necessary mounting and setup components
EliteCore Athletics can help match the launch monitor, projector, screen, and other components to your available space so you don't end up buying equipment that isn't appropriate for your room.
Net Return Simulator Dimensions
The Net Return simulator configuration is designed to work in a variety of spaces. The exact footprint depends on the specific Net Return model and simulator configuration selected.
Typical simulator setup dimensions:
-
Width: Approximately 10 feet
-
Height: Approximately 8–9 feet
-
Depth: Approximately 6–12 feet depending on configuration
-
Screen: Typically sized to fit the selected simulator enclosure/net configuration
Because every room is different, we recommend measuring your available width, height, and depth before selecting your final configuration.
Why Room Dimensions Matter
A golf simulator isn't simply about fitting a screen and hitting mat into a room. You need enough space between the golfer and screen, adequate clearance behind the golfer, and sufficient ceiling height for a full swing.
Your room dimensions also affect:
- Screen size
- Projector throw distance
- Projector brightness
- Launch monitor placement
- Hitting position
- Right- and left-handed play
- Club clearance
- Overall simulator viewing experience
EliteCore Athletics can help you select the right combination of components based on your actual room dimensions.
Designed for Practice and Play
The Net Return Simulator Kit gives you the ability to use your simulator for much more than playing virtual golf.
Use your setup for:
Practice
- Work on your swing
- Practice specific distances
- Hit hundreds of balls without visiting the range
- Analyze shot performance
Virtual Golf
- Play virtual golf courses
- Practice different course conditions
- Compete with friends and family
- Enjoy golf year-round
Entertainment
- Create a dedicated golf entertainment space
- Host golf nights
- Combine simulator golf with your home theater or game room
A Flexible Alternative to a Permanent Simulator Build
One of the biggest advantages of a Net Return-based simulator is flexibility. The setup can be configured for golfers who want a dedicated simulator room while still maintaining the ability to use the space for other activities.
It's an excellent option for:
- Home garages
- Basements
- Bonus rooms
- Man caves
- Golf rooms
- Commercial practice spaces
- Multi-purpose recreational rooms
Configure Your Simulator With EliteCore Athletics
There isn't one perfect simulator configuration for every golfer. The right setup depends on your room size, budget, launch monitor, projector, screen size, and how you plan to use the simulator.
EliteCore Athletics can help you build the right combination of:
Launch Monitor + Projector + Screen/Net + Mat + Simulator Components
Instead of trying to determine compatibility between dozens of products yourself, we'll help you choose equipment that works together and fits your space.
Before You Order
Have your room measurements ready:
- Room width
- Room length/depth
- Ceiling height
- Distance from hitting position to screen
- Available space behind the hitting position
If you're unsure whether your room will work, contact EliteCore Athletics before ordering. We can help determine the appropriate simulator configuration and recommend the right projector, launch monitor, screen, and hitting area for your space.
Build your simulator around your room—not the other way around.
