Indoor Golf Simulator
Installation in the South Sound
Projector, impact screen, launch monitor integration, scene-based lighting, and Control4 automation — designed together as one architecture so your simulator room works exactly the way it should from the moment you walk in.
Most Simulator Rooms Are Built Backwards
The simulator hardware goes in first — then someone figures out the AV, lighting, and networking. The result is a room that looks right but fights you every time you use it.
The projector is wrong for the throw distance
Simulator rooms have tight ceiling heights and short throw distances. The wrong projector means a keystoned image, washed-out colors, or a throw that doesn't fill the screen. These aren't settings — they're spec decisions that have to be made before the first stud goes in.
The launch monitor drops signal mid-round
Foresight, Trackman, and SkyTrak all rely on a stable, low-latency network connection. A residential router in the next room is not an infrastructure plan — and when it drops, the round stops.
The lighting kills the image every time
Recessed lights pointed at the impact screen create washout and hot spots that make the course unreadable. Without scene-based control, someone is fumbling with a dimmer or a phone app before every round.
Every System. One Architecture.
Six disciplines designed together from the first conversation — because a simulator room built in pieces never plays as well as one built as a system.
Projector & Impact Screen
We spec and install short-throw and ultra-short-throw projectors matched to your room's exact ceiling height and throw distance. Ceiling-mount with conduit, proper offset, and image alignment are part of the job — not an afterthought.
Launch Monitor Integration
We integrate your launch monitor into the room's AV and network infrastructure so data flows cleanly to your simulation software on every shot — whether you're running FSX, E6 Connect, or TGC 2019.
Multi-Zone Audio
In-ceiling speakers matched to room dimensions — amplified and zone-controlled so you have background music while you play and the option to pipe simulator sound effects through the room, without either bleeding into the other.
Low-Latency Dedicated Networking
Every launch monitor and simulator PC needs reliable, fast connectivity. We run a hardwired Cat6 drop to the room and configure a dedicated access point so your round never drops because of a crowded WiFi channel.
Scene-Based Lighting Control
Lighting in a simulator room is an AV decision, not an electrical one. We position fixtures to light the player zone without spilling onto the screen, then build named scenes into your Control4 keypad — Golf Sim dims everything automatically.
Control4 Scene Automation
One keypad button starts a round. One button ends it. Control4 ties your projector, launch monitor, audio, and lighting into named scenes so the room responds to how you're using it — not the other way around.
A Complete Simulator Room. Built as One System.
Foresight GCHawk ceiling mount, short-throw projector, impact screen with black enclosure surround, in-ceiling audio, side-wall TV for shot data, dedicated networking, and Control4 scene automation — all designed and installed together.
Systems installed as one build — projection, launch monitor, audio, networking, lighting, automation
Keypad button starts the round — projector, GCHawk, audio, and lighting all respond together
Separate apps or remotes needed — Control4 handles everything from one interface
One Button. The Whole Room.
Named scenes are the difference between a room you enjoy and a room you manage. Every scene is programmed to match exactly how you use the space.
Golf Sim
Dims all lights to projection-optimized levels, sequences the projector on with proper warmup, wakes the GCHawk, and sets audio to background level. One tap — you're playing.
Watch
Switches to TV-viewing light levels and routes audio to the side-wall display. Use the same room for sports or movies without touching a remote or opening an app.
Front Light / Rear Light
Independent lighting zones let you light the player area and the entry separately — useful during setup, equipment changes, or when someone enters mid-round without disrupting the screen.
Room Off
One button shuts everything down — projector cool-down sequenced automatically, lights off, audio off, GCHawk in standby. No hunting for remotes or wondering if the lamp is still running.
Spec'd for Performance. Not a Product Catalog.
We spec the equipment that's right for your room, your launch monitor, and the software you're running.
GCHawk ceiling mount, GC3, and GCQuad. Physical mounting, network integration, and FSX 2020 / FSX Play calibration included.
Gold Dealer. Scene programming, keypad installation, projector control drivers, lighting integration, and whole-home tie-in.
UST and short-throw projectors spec'd specifically for simulator throw distances, ambient light conditions, and screen gain.
RadioRA 3 and Caséta for scene-based lighting integrated with Control4 — or standalone if automation isn't in scope.
Indoor Golf Simulator Installation FAQ
The AV and technology side of a simulator install — projector, launch monitor integration, in-ceiling audio, networking, lighting, and Control4 automation — typically runs $8,000–$25,000 installed depending on scope. That's separate from the simulator enclosure, impact screen, and turf, which are typically sourced through simulator-specific vendors. We provide a detailed estimate after reviewing your room dimensions and equipment list.
Yes. The GCHawk is a ceiling-mount overhead camera system and one of the more precise launch monitor installs — positioning, height, and angle tolerances are tight, and the network infrastructure has to be right for the camera to process data cleanly. We've installed GCHawk systems in South Sound homes and handle mounting, cabling, and network configuration as part of the project.
It depends on your ceiling height and room length. Most residential simulator rooms have 9–11 foot ceilings and 15–20 foot throw distances, which typically calls for a short-throw projector in the 5,000–6,000 lumen range. Ultra-short-throw projectors are an option for very low ceilings but require precise floor positioning. We spec the projector after measuring the room — not from a manufacturer spec sheet.
Yes. We work in finished spaces regularly — running concealed conduit, fishing cable through walls, and mounting equipment cleanly without unnecessary drywall work. If you already have an enclosure and screen in place, we can integrate the projector, networking, audio, and Control4 around the existing build.
Yes, if you're on Control4. As a Gold Dealer, we build simulator rooms that integrate fully with the rest of your home system — lighting, audio, security, and climate all aware of simulator mode. If you're not on Control4, we can install a standalone keypad and scene controller scoped to just the simulator room.
Yes. We integrate Trackman, SkyTrak, Uneekor, and Garmin Approach R10 systems — the specific mount type, network requirements, and software integration vary by device. We review your launch monitor selection during the consultation and spec the infrastructure around it.
