Carl's Place Pro Golf Simulator Enclosure Kit with Impact Screen

For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we recommend standing a minimum of 10-12 feet away from the screen.

We do NOT recommend ironing your golf screen, simply because it is very easy to damage the screen. And we want your golf screen to last you a long, long time. With wrinkles and fold marks, the best thing is prevention. Unpack your new screen immediately, and if you need to store it, fold it very loosely. But if you're reading a section on ironing your golf screen, it's probably too late for prevention. Know that mounting your golf screen to a frame with tension, like with our zip ties or ball bungees, and letting it relax for a couple of days will smooth out most wrinkles.

That being said...

We have also had success using a steamer to help get wrinkles and folds out. Using a clean, consumer-grade steamer with distilled water will help accelerate the wrinkle removing process, and should avoid leaving water marks on your screen.

We want your indoor golf set up to be fun, help improve your game, and be safe for everyone.

• Make sure to follow the assembly manual provided with your enclosure.
• Keep children, pets, and spectators out of swing range.
• Protect ceilings, walls, windows, cars & neighboring homes.
• Understand the Terms of Sale of using a Carl's Place product.

Golf hitting mats give you a nice cushy surface to stand and swing your golf club. They help protect your joints from any impact during your swing. They also let you have a more realistic golf practice when you can tee up the golf ball at the perfect height and swing freely.

When choosing a size for your golf mat consider the golfer's needs. A size of 4'x5' will let most golfers swing a driver with their heels comfortably on the edge of the mat. A larger size, 5'x7' or 4'x9', would be able to accommodate golfers with a wide stance or if you have friends over swinging either rightie or leftie.

Carl's DIY Golf Enclosure Kit offers you an easy, entry-level way to build a safe place to swing your clubs. An affordable, convenient kit, the DIY Enclosure Kit helps home golfers take the guesswork out of designing their own golf simulator.

Carl's Pro Golf Enclosure Kit is a higher-end enclosure for top-of-the-line performance in a golf simulator. Because it's available in wider, deeper bays with additional safety features it makes the best commercial golf simulator enclosure.

Carl's Curved Golf Enclosure Kit takes the Pro Enclosure’s sturdy design to the next level, adding a seamless curved screen for a truly immersive experience. Its unique structure surrounds the golfer, creating a lifelike, panoramic view that’s as impressive as it is functional.

When measuring for a golf simulator, make sure you take into account:

• Buffer space: You don't want your golf simulator right up next to any walls or ceiling. Balls that contact the walls or ceiling can cause damage and have unwanted bounce back.
• Footprint of the golf enclosure: Make sure to check the actual dimensions of the enclosure footprint. Our C-Series enclosures have built-in buffer space in the rear with the backset rear fitting.
• Safe golfing distance away from the screen: For the safety of both the golfer and the screen, we recommend standing a minimum distance of 10 to 12 feet away from the screen.
• Height of the golfer(s)
• Length of the golf club(s)
• Turf thickness, heating ducts, and soffits
• Furniture and access to doorways

Our golf enclosure kits are made to order (which is why we can customize them down to the inch!). We make sure they are measured, sewn, and packed perfectly before they are ready to ship. Because of that, production lead time may fluctuate based on volume. To see the expected shipping and delivery times, please add the item to your cart and enter your shipping information.

The enclosure material is not designed to take a direct hit from a golf ball. However, if you hit the white impact screen, and it bounces and hits the enclosure, you should not experience any issues.

We can easily make you a replacement screen to save you money. Replacement screens can be ordered by contacting one of our Customer Service Team Members. 

Our Pro Golf Enclosures require 2-inch EMT ((Electrical Metal Tubing/Conduit). We recommend you add a Pipe Framing Kit to your order so you get pre-cut, perfectly sized, and marked pipes for your enclosure frame. That way all you have to do is assemble your frame and enclosure.

Note, these pipes can be difficult to source locally.  Be sure you can purchase it near you before making your final buying decision. Either way, we will provide a diagram indicating the required cut lengths for your specific size kit.

Pro Enclosure orders with a 'Pipe Framing Kit' ship freight. If you are unable to unload a pallet of 50lb boxes, you should add lift gate service.  If you are outside of the US, freight shipping the Pipe Framing Kit may be cost-prohibitive.

Carl's Place Pro Golf Simulator Enclosure Kits assemble in approximately 3 hours. It's best if you have a couple helpers, especially for lifting and connecting pipes for the frame. See this How to Assemble the Pro Enclosure article for more info.

EMT stands for Electrical Metal Tubing, also known as, Electrical Metal Conduit. We often just refer to them as pipes on our website. You need EMT  (pipes) to build the frame for your enclosure/screen. Do not mistake PVC pipes for EMT. PVC will not work with our fittings. You have 2 options on how to get the necessary pipes:

1. Add a Pipe Framing Kit. (You'll see these as accessories on our DIY and Pro Golf Enclosure Kits.
2. Source EMT pipes at your local building supply store.
   • DIY Enclosures require 1″ EMT.
   • Pro and Curved Enclosures require 2" EMT which can be more difficult to find. Make sure you have a source for your EMT when selecting whether you want to add on our Pipe Framing Kit options.

The projector specifications determine the maximum image size and how far from the screen it will need to be mounted. Check out our screen size calculator to find the best mounting location.

As for how to mount your projector, here are the places to put a golf simulator projector.

1. Mount a projector above your tee or mat. 
   • Flush-mount to your ceiling in spaces with lower ceilings
   • Drop-mount from your ceiling in spaces with higher ceilings
   • Frame-mount from your Carl's Place Pro Enclosure
2. Place a short-throw projector on the floor inside the golf simulator.  Of course, if you floor-mount your projector you must build or buy a protective cover to keep it safe from golf balls and clubs.

Along with reusable zip ties, ball bungees are used to secure screens and enclosures to the frame.

1. Insert the loop end of the bungee into a grommet from behind the screen.
2. Thread it through the grommet until the toggle ball touches the backside of the grommet.
3. Pull the cord over and around the frame/pipe.
4. Hook the cord over the toggle ball to create a loop.
