What Does a Golf Simulator Package From The Indoor Golf Shop Actually Include?
Published · Updated
The Indoor Golf Shop's packages combine a launch monitor with a screen or enclosure and a hitting surface, but the projector, PC, and software entitlements depend on the exact configuration. Some bundles include projection; others require a separate purchase. Check the selected parts list and the first-year running costs before treating the package price as your finished-room budget.
Several brands, one enclosure line
The Indoor Golf Shop builds SIG packages around launch monitors from several brands and pairs them with its enclosures, screens, mats, turf, and display hardware. Its collection also includes other layouts, so the SIG name doesn't describe every package it sells. See the shop's package collection and inclusion FAQ.
Two packages that look alike in the listing can need quite different things once you factor in the launch monitor and its software.
The core pieces
The shop's guide describes a complete simulator around a launch monitor, impact screen and enclosure, hitting mat, projector, and software. Its FAQ also says projection is not included in every bundle, so use the selected product's itemized contents when you order.
Go by the dimensions, not the package photo. Check the assembled width, height, and depth against your room, then add the space the golfer needs and any clearance behind the screen.
Is the projector in it?
For a concrete example, the GolfIn IDRA II SIG10 package lists a choice of projector and accessories. The page says the bundled projector can be upgraded or removed if you already own one. Confirm which option is in your cart and whether the mounting hardware is included.
Don't take the default projector just because it shows up in a bundle image. Confirm the throw distance and image shape, and whether an overhead launch monitor or garage-door hardware needs the same patch of ceiling. Have someone who knows how your ceiling is built confirm the mount.
The PC question
The computer requirement comes from the launch monitor and simulator software. For example, Uneekor's EYE MINI LITE specifications say a PC is required and list Windows system requirements. A package containing that unit needs a compatible computer even if the photo only shows the golf equipment.
The shop's guide says some higher-end packages may include a gaming PC. If the selected parts list doesn't say the PC is included, ask. The same goes for a display, keyboard, networking, and any paid plan needed to connect the launch monitor to your simulator program.
Not in the price
The Indoor Golf Shop advertises free 3D project design in its package planning guide. If you want professional installation, obtain a separate written quote. Don't assume the hardware price pays for room construction, electrical work, or ongoing software fees.
Work out the delivered first-year cost of the exact setup you want, including applicable sales tax and shipping. Then add the annual memberships you expect to keep paying. For a software trial, check what remains usable after it ends and the renewal price; a free trial doesn't make the next year free.
What's still on you
A bundle reduces the number of parts you have to select, but the package page can't establish whether your swing clears the room.
Before you order, confirm the clear ceiling height, the assembled enclosure footprint, the hitting position, where the launch monitor and projector go, power, network, and every major item the package leaves out.
