When you can’t make it out to the green, bring the green inside. More and more homeowners in Minnesota are including an at-home golf simulator in their basement remodeling plans. If you’re considering adding an at-home golf simulator, there’s one key question you need to answer first: how high of a ceiling do you need?
Recommended Ceiling Height for Indoor Golf Simulators
The recommended height will depend on a few factors – which we’ll go through in a moment. However, at minimum you’ll typically need a ceiling height of 10 feet to safely install an at-home golf simulator.
However, you may need to go higher or lower depending on a few factors.
Additional Considerations
- Height of the golfer and your swing height. Your height will factor into the overall height needed. Likewise, you want to make sure there’s plenty of room for your swing.
- Will other people use the simulator? If you plan to let other family members and friends use the simulator, you may want to choose a different person height and swing height as your baseline.
- The current space. You’ll need to consider your current basement space as well, for planning purposes. Will you need to install walls to make a solo room? Are there ceiling lights currently in the way?
- Don’t go TOO high. While it’s important to have ample room for the simulator and your swing, you also don’t want to build too high of a roof. It could interfere with the simulator’s ability to function properly.

As you continue your research into installing an at-home golf simulator, you’ll quickly realize that this is an intensive process.
