The Five Major Components of a Golf Simulator
Impact Screen
Impact Screens are designed to withstand direct impact from the fastest moving golf balls and display a clear image of the golf simulation. Amplex is a dealer of Carl’s Place impact screens and most other major brands of impact screens
Enclosure
A golf simulator enclosure is a frame system that provides a safe environment for playing indoor golf. It typically consists of a durable frame, an impact screen for projection and ball catching, and surrounding fabric walls to contain errant shots.
Launch Monitor
Golf launch monitors are the brains and the most important part of a golf simulator. Utilizing Doppler radar technology or high speed-cameras or both, launch monitors track ball flight characteristics such as speed, distance, trajectory, launch angle, location, spin and much more depending on the brand being used. Some launch monitors are portable and can be used on the course to better understand your swing and improve your game. Amplex is an Official Dealer of Garmin, Foresight, and most other launch monitor manufacturers.
Hitting Mat
Hitting Mats are designed to provide a realistic feel and protect joints while offering accurate ball-flight data for the launch monitor. Amplex is an official dealer of Carl’s Place HotShot® Mats, Fiberbuilt® Golf Mats, Country Club Elite®, or TrueStrike® Golf mats. Depending on the experience you desire, Amplex will assist you with the golf mat that performs the best for your environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much space do I need for a Golf Simulator?
Golf simulators require a minimum depth of 15’ (the more depth, the better) a minimum of 10’ of width, with at least 10′ ceilings.
Can the hitting bay and screen be customized to fit my room dimensions?
Yes, golf simulator hitting bays and screens can be customized to fit specific room dimensions. Amplex offers design services to ensure a perfect fit for your space, whether it’s a small media room or larger garage. Amplex can install custom screens and enclosures by providing your room’s height, width, and depth measurements to the supplier.
Do you offer custom audio and lighting options?

What projectors are used?
Amplex is a dealer of every major brand of projector. We utilize the projector that is recommended by the launch monitor manufacturer, if they recommend one. If not, we will work with the client to determine the best projector for the environment; depending on throw distance, image size, the amount of natural light in the room, budget, etc.
How long does installation typically take from start to finish?
It is entirely based on the complexity of the build out requirements. A simple launch monitor can be setup, programmed, and used within minutes, whereas a full system with a projector, impact screen, enclosure, launch monitor and hitting mat can take 2 days to install. An entire room can take days or even weeks depending on the build and features. Rest assure, Amplex will assist you and answer your questions and provide options based on your desired installation date.
Are they portable?
Yes, some Golf Simulators are designed to be portable. Some launch monitors are portable, too. Call Amplex today to discuss what is possible.
Can the golf simulator be used by both right and left handed golfers?
Yes, though the ease of switching depends on the launch monitor and enclosure setup. Some systems work seamlessly for both hand types without requiring physical movement. Other systems may require software settings changes, moving the launch monitor or hitting mat, or having a wide enough enclosure to allow both golfers to swing from the same general area.
Is there a monthly fee?
Amplex does not charge a monthly fee. Most launch monitors and Golf Simulator software products come with basic courses and features and they all have the option to buy upgrades individually or you can pay for a subscription for additional features and courses, etc. Monthly fees will dependent on the system and software selected.
Can you putt?
Golf simulators either have an “Automatic” or “Computer Decides” putt feature that automatically estimates a number of putts based on the distance to the hole or they have a “Detailed” putt system that uses the cameras or radar or both to track ball data. Detailed putt systems can get quite expensive.
Can I play my friend even though we have 2 different simulators at our houses?
Yes, you can play golf on two separate, different-brand golf simulators as long as you use compatible third-party software like GSPro or the Simulator Golf Tour (SGT). Your individual simulator’s default software may limit you, but these third-party platforms provide a unified experience, allowing golfers with different hardware to compete online.
