Methodology: how we collect golf simulator prices

109 data points: 77 component listings, 23 software plans and 9 real builds, from 96 source pages. All prices were read on 1 Nov 2026 unless the row says otherwise.

Sources

21 prices come straight from the maker's own page; the rest from golf simulator retailers' public product pages. Retailer prices were read from each store's public product catalog and are linked to the product page.

What a price means

Subscriptions

We use the maker's own plan page wherever it shows a price. Where official and retailer figures differ, we use the official one and say so on the subscriptions page. If we can't verify a plan's price, we leave it blank (for example Full Swing KIT plans).

Real builds

Only builds where the owner published a total cost, linked to that public post. We copy the owner's figures and notes (for example “includes tax” or “laptop not included”) and never fill gaps. Reader submissions are checked by hand before they're added.

Calculator

Upfront cost = the parts you pick + any one-time software. N-year total = upfront + each plan's yearly fee × years, with the first year free where the maker says it's included. It doesn't include tax, shipping, installation, flooring, electrical work or resale value.
