Bring Your A-Game with Golf Simulator Room Packs

One of the most creative and fun ways to enhance your basement – and to save a few dollars over a country club membership – is to install a golf simulator. Nowadays, the technology can accurately track the spin and speed of a struck ball to help you gain valuable insights and hone your game. Once up and running, you can spend time with friends hanging in your customized golf studio – even during the winter!

In addition to the screen and your golf equipment, your simulator room needs some key updates to get the full experience…and to save the other members of your household from the noise it can create. After outfitting dozens of top-tier golf studios and developing specialized Golf Simulator Room Packs for this purpose, the team at Acoustic Geometry shares key tips for crafting yours.

Address the Ceiling

If you’ve read our blog before, you know that shaping the acoustics of any space often involves treating hard, reflective surfaces like the ceiling with sound absorption materials. Doing so reduces echo and reverberation within the space while also decreasing the sound transmission to the upper floors of your home.

Fabric-wrapped acoustical “cloud” panels offer a stylish solution. Easy to install and available in a variety of colors, these panels will help mitigate the piercing “whack” sound created by striking each ball. When practicing on the driving range, this sound dissipates in all directions and generally hits no reflective surfaces, so the sound is bearable. In your basement, however, it’s a different story. Utilizing panels can help absorb the harsh impact and create a more natural-sounding environment.

Protect Your Floors

If you plan to use special shoes in your simulator, or if your shots sometimes slice farther than you’d like, you need a flooring material that will keep you in place and offer some protection from bouncing strays.

Drum mats can help by both absorbing sound from your practice session while offering mild protection to your floors from shoes and strikes. The durable, non-slip rubber is perfect for steady footing.

Seal It Off

To increase the privacy of your new hangout spot even further, invest in additional materials that prevent sound bleed. A door seal kit is an easy and affordable way to address one of the most common culprits of sound transfer within your home. The Acoustic Geometry team provides all the installation instructions you need to have your door significantly more soundproofed in a matter of a few minutes.

For additional isolation, consider adding Sound Silencer lightweight panels throughout your space. In the Golf Simulator Large Room Pack that we developed specifically for enthusiasts like you, 4 boxes of 2-inch Sound Silencer material come included.

Decorate!

Your at-home golf course experience wouldn’t be complete without some added ambience. All of our Room Packs (Small, Medium, and Large) include at least one Acoustical Wall Art panel. While additionally absorbing sound, these panels can be printed with hundreds of colors, patterns, or images. Accentuate your space by utilizing a leveled-up acoustical poster of your choice.

Finally, Acoustical Curtains are the perfect trim to the edges of your simulator screen. These 96-inch-tall grommet style curtains can help catch deflected shots off the screen, as well as mitigate the damage that any misfires will cause to your walls. Available in four colors, these can also be customized to match the surrounding aesthetic and round out the room.
