TruGolf Golf Simulator Installation
Complete-system simulator builds that balance serious practice with serious fun — E6 Connect courses, premium hardware, and a turnkey home install.
Designed Golf Simulators is an authorized TruGolf golf simulator installation partner for homeowners across the Greater St. Louis Metro. TruGolf builds complete turnkey systems — hardware, software, enclosure, and launch monitor designed to work together out of the box — which makes it one of the easiest premium platforms to install cleanly and reliably in a home.
As a lifetime golfer, the single most impactful decision I made to improve my game was an in-home golf simulator installation by Designed Golf. As an added bonus, all of our friends love to come over and play world-renowned courses in the comfort of our home.
Why TruGolf Is the Entertainment-First Favorite
TruGolf systems are built around an answer most launch-monitor-first brands don’t prioritize: the experience of actually using the simulator. Their E6 Connect software has one of the largest libraries of playable courses (hundreds of real and fictional courses in 3D), and the platform runs smoothly whether it’s one golfer grinding irons or four friends playing a scramble after dinner. That matters more than most first-time buyers realize — a simulator you love using gets used twice a week; one that feels clunky gathers dust.
For families and social players, a TruGolf golf simulator installation is often the right call. The system handles handicap-based multiplayer well, skill challenges run smoothly, and the visuals hold up on the wall screen. It’s also well-suited to basements and garages where the total-solution approach of TruGolf — monitor, software, enclosure all tested together — reduces the surprises that come with mixing brands.
What TruGolf Systems Include
A TruGolf package typically includes the launch monitor (TruTrack or APOGEE depending on the tier), E6 Connect software, the enclosure frame, impact screen, hitting mat, and guidance for projector and audio. Their Vista line — Vista 8, 10, and 12 — scales by screen width and space requirements, so smaller basements get a Vista 8 and larger dedicated rooms get a Vista 12 for a more immersive feel.
The integrated approach is a real advantage during install. Components are pre-matched, calibration is faster, and long-term support goes through one vendor instead of three. For homeowners who want one invoice and one phone number for service, a TruGolf golf simulator installation is often the smoothest path.
Who TruGolf Is Best For
Families who want serious practice AND serious entertainment. Small-business owners putting in a private clubhouse amenity. Homeowners who’ve researched launch monitors to exhaustion and want one decision, done. TruGolf excels at these use cases because the system is designed for how people actually use home simulators — sometimes for deep practice, sometimes for a Friday night tournament with friends and drinks on the table.
If your primary goal is tour-grade data accuracy for game improvement, we’d steer you toward TrackMan or Foresight. For everything else — especially the hybrid practice-plus-play use case that’s most common — TruGolf is a strong default recommendation.
Real Costs and Install Timeline
TruGolf home installs typically land between $15,000 and $35,000 depending on the package tier, room finish level, and AV integration. That’s a wide range for a reason — a Vista 8 build in an already-finished basement runs much less than a fully finished Vista 12 with integrated cabinetry, AV routing, and climate control in a new garage. During your consultation we’ll scope what makes sense for your space and budget and quote honestly.
Install timeline is usually 1 to 3 days on-site once hardware arrives. Most of the calendar time is hardware lead time from TruGolf — plan for 3 to 6 weeks from order to on-site install day depending on stock.

Book Your Free ConsultationFrequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom home golf simulator cost?
Quality home simulators typically range from $10,000 on the entry side to $50,000+ for a premium fully-finished build. The biggest factors are launch monitor choice, space size, and finish level. We provide clear options at every tier during your free consultation.
How long does a golf simulator installation take?
Most home installs complete in 1 to 3 days once materials arrive. Hardware lead times (3–6 weeks typical) are usually the larger scheduling factor. We map the full timeline during design so you know what to expect.
Do you offer turnkey installation?
Yes. Designed Golf Simulators handles the entire build — consultation, space assessment, system design, installation, calibration, and walkthrough training. One team, one timeline, no coordinating contractors.
Which launch monitor is best for my space?
It depends on ceiling height, room depth, your goals, and budget. TrackMan needs more depth and suits serious players. Foresight fits tighter rooms with excellent data. TruGolf excels at entertainment. SkyTrak is the value option. We'll recommend honestly during your consultation.
Do you service simulators after installation?
Yes. Being local to the St. Louis metro means faster callbacks for software updates, recalibration, projector adjustments, and upgrade questions. Every install includes walkthrough training so you're confident running the system from day one.
How does TruGolf compare to TrackMan or SkyTrak?
TruGolf is a complete turnkey system (monitor + software + enclosure) — TrackMan and SkyTrak are launch monitors you pair with separate software and enclosure. TruGolf wins for ease of install and entertainment experience. TrackMan wins for data accuracy at a higher price. SkyTrak wins for value at a lower price. We'll help you pick the right one during your consultation based on how you'll actually use the simulator.
