aboutGOLF simulator customers rave about our design, installation, and customer support teams, and there’s no wonder why! Our teams are passionate about helping others and are sticklers for the details—you have to be when each design is custom.
We've outlined what it looks like to sign up for a premium aboutGOLF simulator for those of you who are curious about what goes on behind the scenes.
Our sales team is full of seasoned pros who know how to guide their customers through the process of buying a golf simulator. But don’t worry if you’re not ready to talk to them yet. We’ll give you the scoop on what to think about before you buy.
aboutGOLF Simulators are custom built for the space they’re meant for, which takes approximately 8-weeks from the time you sign your sales agreement to final installation touches. If you want to install an indoor golf simulator immediately, the DIY aG Trainer option may be for you.
Why do our custom installations take so long?
It takes time to work with homeowners and general contractors to get the specifications we need to understand your nice-to-haves, your must-haves, and the space. We need exact measurements, and we have to understand what you want to get out of your simulator. We ask questions like:
We’ve worked with general contractors to build out dream entertainment venues with stadium seating and top-of-the-line surround sound. Our in-house A/V expert can walk you through the perfect set up or consult with your existing A/V contractor. We also make sure our design team works with your general contractor to ensure proper clearance is available for your swing, and your ISU and projector are placed perfectly.
The minimum dimensions for a custom aG Links simulator with single-hitter stance are 9’6” H x 12’ W x 18’6” L. To accommodate both left- and right-handed hitters, the width must increase to 15’. If you are exceptionally tall, the height can vary.
We won't attempt to squeeze in an aG Links simulator in less space because of the risks: damage to your surroundings, calibration issues with the equipment, and ISU/projector damage.
The minimum space recommended for aG Trainer's single hitting area is 14’ L x 10’ W x 9’6” H, but our original dimensions are the safest bet to assign to an indoor golf simulator space.
Once sales determines what you would like to get out of your sim and the dimensions for your space, they'll work with the design team to provide an estimate. An estimate looks at the average cost of materials to build an aG Links simulator in an environment similar to yours and considers upgrades.
Upgrades could include an aG Flix studio to record every aspect of your swing, premium A/V upgrades, aG Balance Measurement, and smart-home integrations such as voice controls or single-touch automation. For more details on upgrades, check out our golf simulators page.
The more specific you are about your ideal build, the more exact our estimate will be.
As soon as you accept our estimate, the aboutGOLF design team will confirm your space's details and lay out a design according to your specifications. To do this, they'll get exact measurements and photographs from you or your general contractor.
