Simulated Sports gives you one team to design, supply and install a golf simulator anywhere in Ireland, whether you want a coaching bay for your club, a multi-bay commercial venue or a home studio. You deal directly with the two people who run it: founder JP plans and oversees every installation, and Ellen handles operations and customer coordination. Since 2013 the Dublin business has built golf simulator rooms ranging from garage studios to multi-bay facilities.

Simulator bays for golf clubs and coaches

If you run a club, you can add a coaching studio, practice bay or member room that keeps golf going after dark and in bad weather. The company says it plans each build around how your club operates, with compact layouts for pro shops, leisure centers and clubhouses, and coaching data covering club path, face angle and spin rates. One published project is the Studio 22 golf and Pilates facility in Dublin, fitted with a TrackMan launch monitor, a 5m by 3m Sim Sports GTS Ultra screen and a 6,000-lumen Panasonic laser projector.

Commercial venues with published price and payback ranges

For a sports bar, golf center or entertainment venue, you see commercial golf simulator budgets up front: the company quotes €25,000 for a single bay up to €250,000 or more for a multi-bay venue with food and beverage service, and says payback typically falls between 18 and 30 months depending on location and uptime. Each project starts with a survey of ceiling heights, ventilation, electrical load and acoustics, and ends with a maintenance plan. Revenue modelling and multi-user software licensing are offered too. Its K Golf World case study describes several bays with premium launch monitors, commercial-grade screens, enclosures and flooring. The commercial golf simulator buying guide lists points to settle before you commit.

Try the technology before you choose

You can hit balls at the Dublin showroom, and compare the Trackman, Uneekor and SkyTrak launch monitors it fits; Foresight systems also appear in its commercial gallery. A €50 consultation covers the visit and a first look at your space, and it is redeemed against your build if you go ahead. Home studios run from about €8,000 to €35,000 or more. The minimum recommended room is 4m wide, 2.8m high and 5m long, and one case study shows a 2.4m garden-room ceiling cut back above the hitting zone to reach it.

From event hire to permanent installs

The business began as Golf Sim Hire, renting simulators to corporate events; an early slot on The Late Late Show with Paul McGinley led to demand for permanent builds. It still hires out staffed golf and multi-sport simulators for corporate days across Ireland. As a simulator installer serving Ireland, it covers design, supply, installation, calibration and later upgrades. Other golf suppliers listed here include Golf Swing Systems, InSwing Golf and Golf Tech Systems.
