CASE STUDY Premium Residential Golf Simulator – Prince Edward Island
Quick summary· AI-generated
This detailed case study walks through SimCaddy's design and installation process for a high-end simulator build in a 16'×10'×30' garage bay, including handling architectural constraints (angled roofline), integrating a blackout curtain system with aircraft cable for acoustic separation, coordinating with local contractors, and balancing performance with casual entertainment use. The narrative emphasizes collaboration, space optimization, and the decision-making process around component selection and room layout rather than selling a specific product line.
Excerpt from SimCaddy Canada Indoor Golf Simulator Product Solutions
A dream concept brought to life. This PEI retreat now features a fully custom professional grade golf simulator designed for both performance and play.
When a client in scenic cottage country on Prince Edward Island reached out to SimCaddy, his goal was clear: design and install a professional grade golf simulator inside his detached three-bay garage retreat, a beautifully crafted building on his summer property with an impressive waterfront view. He envisioned a space that would serve as both a relaxed social hub for entertaining fellow golfers on rainy days (the local course is just minutes away by golf cart) and a high-performance simulator for serious practice and gameplay.
Every great build starts with a vision. Early framing laid the foundation for this high-performance golf simulator space.
A Purpose-Built Space for Play and Performance The simulator was installed in one bay of the garage (16' W x 10' H x ~30' D). Working closely with his contractor, the client added a lounge area, bar/counter space, and a full bathroom, transforming the space into a casual entertainment retreat. This wasn’t just about dialing in wedge spin. It was about creating an immersive, functional environment that looked great, felt inviting, and delivered flawless technical performance. The angled roofline added architectural character but required careful planning. The simulator enclosure had to align with the slope, and the projector’s throw distance needed to be precise. We also integrated a full blackout golf curtain system hung using aircraft cable to define the simulator bay, preserve image quality, and provide acoustic separation from the rest of the structure.
From Vision to Technical Design The project began with a simple hand-drawn sketch from the client. SimCaddy translated that vision into a detailed technical drawing, illustrating everything from screen placement and hitting position to projector specs and seating layout. Before finalizing the design, the client visited my personal home simulator to see a completed build using many of the same and similar components. We discussed the differences between optimal space and necessary space, left and right-handed user considerations, lighting control, screen sizing, acoustic treatment, and long-term flexibility. I made it a priority not to oversell; it was about creating a system tailored for seasonal use, not overcomplicating it with unnecessary extras.
Collaboration with Local Trades We worked very closely…
