At GreenTee Golfzon, we’re Canada’s exclusive distributor of Golfzon—the gold standard in indoor golf. We design and install high-end, custom simulators for both homes and commercial spaces. In this 2025 guide, we’ll break down what affects pricing, compare Golfzon models, and help you understand the long-term value of your investment.
What Affects the Cost of a Virtual Golf Simulator?
There’s no one-size-fits-all price tag—and that’s a good thing. Your cost depends on several factors that shape the experience and performance of your simulator:
- Simulator Type & Technology: Full-room installations vs. portable setups can vary dramatically in price. High-speed cameras, AI diagnostics, and moving swing plates add premium value.
- Space Requirements: Room size, ceiling height, and layout can influence design and cost.
- Add-Ons & Audio/Visual Equipment: Screens, projectors, sound systems, hitting mats, and putting greens can be customized.
- Software & Course Library: Access to world-class courses and game modes matters. Golfzon’s global simulator library includes hundreds of world-famous courses, meticulously mapped for accuracy. Explore Golfzon’s full course library →
- Installation Complexity: Custom builds or integration with other amenities add to labor.
- Use Case: Commercial vs. residential needs influence the robustness and scale.
