What is a golf simulator?

Golf simulators use state-of-the-art technology to replicate the experience of playing golf on an authentic course. It’s really that simple! aboutGolf simulators have several analysis systems that work together to provide accurate mathematical information about your game. 

 

Everything from foot tracking to your centre of balance, force magnitude to the accuracy of your shot, you can be sure that a golf simulator knows precisely how to improve your game and has the data to back it up. 

 

But how does that tie into your real-life practice? 

 

Using a golf simulator gives you transferable tips that you can use to impress, from tee to green. The technology dives into the nitty-gritty, taking measurements of your spin consistency, sequenced foot distribution, and even synchronising all balance data to your swing motion and the instance of impact. 

 

Golf simulators are the future of modern golfing, allowing beginners and professionals alike to hone their skills with precise, pin-point information.

​

Are golf simulators good practice?

Yes, golf simulators are a convenient, realistic and accurate way to practise for real-life games. But how, specifically, do they allow a player to improve?

​

Realism

Golf simulators are highly realistic: we use high-speed cameras, infrared sensors, and 3D imaging to replicate the physics of a golf ball in flight. Our systems are future-proof and regularly updated with the latest technology to ensure accurate data collection. 

 

We use aG Flix, a world-class integrated video recording system where you can synchronise video recordings with shot data to see how your swing looks at every angle. Watch as your ball flies through a range of hyper-realistic courses via a 4K projector. 

 

By combining tracking technology with high-definition projection, golf simulators give players a realistic way to improve their game from the comfort of their homes.

​

Accurate Feedback

While enjoying a course, your golf simulator will measure and collect data to review. Lose yourself in the game, and once done, sit back and review the information your simulator recorded. 

 

Trailblazing technology, like the 3Trak tracking system, can give you accurate feedback on your shot accuracy, reliability, centre of balance analysis and the velocity, launch angles and spin of your shots. 

 

Golf simulators identify areas for improvement and give you the tools to work on them more effectively.

​

Course Management

Choose from countless three-dimensional courses that include terrain, trees, and foliage. 

 

Like authentic games, hitting an object with your ball impacts your play the same as any outdoor game. Expand your horizons to courses that challenge you with over fifty standard and twenty-eight premium courses. 

 

Over time and with practice, you’ll learn how and when to take risks on the course. Approach the green from inventive angles and try new strategies at home before performing them outdoors. 

 

A golf simulator allows you to apply your skills around the clock, and as the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

​

Weather Conditions

Inclement weather is a golfer’s worst enemy, and in the UK, we’re used to a lot of it. In rainy conditions, you’ll lose standing traction, have an improper grip on your club and may feel less concentrated on your game. 

 

Golf simulators bring convenience to players' lives that you can’t find elsewhere. Forget about scheduling tee times, dealing with rainy conditions or even driving to the course: simply wake up and walk to your at-home game.

​

Why should you invest in a golf simulator? 

Invest in a golf simulator if you’re ready to take your game to the next level. As the future of modern golfing, golf simulators use industry-leading technology, like our aG Flix and 3Trak systems, to tell you exactly what to work on and how you can make improvements.

​

Repetition​

Take the same shot multiple times, analyse and make adjustments: if there’s a skill you’re determined to acquire, a golf simulator will see you through to the end. Receiving instant feedback can translate to better performance on the course and a lower handicap.

​

Entertainment Value

Golf simulators are not only the future of golfing: they double as a modern entertainment hub to be enjoyed by the whole family. 

 

While preparing your simulator, the aboutGolf installation crew will create a custom home theatre perfect for hosting a movie night, watching sports or playing video games. Connect consoles, like Playstation and Xbox, direct to your new 4K viewing screen for maximum gaming enjoyment. 

 

Watch the latest flicks in surround sound or use our picture-in-picture technology to catch up on your favourite show while playing a course. The choice is yours. A golf simulator not only improves your game with realistic and accurate tracking technology. Installing one for your property can enhance all your viewing and gaming experiences.
