What is the Ideal Number of Golf Simulators for a Facility

This is a tricky question as it really depends on the facility. In China for example, 100 simulators in one facility is not unheard of. Similarly, in a driving range facility, there is plenty of space to install as many as 10 separate bays. It really boils down to your customer base and finance. Cowlens Golf recommend that it is best to start small – that could be just one simulator. You will soon see if the demand requires further investment. In general two or three simulators works very well. If users on one simulator over run, you can start of your next booking on another simulator that is available for use. Essentially though, it all boils down to cash. Golf simulators can be purchased from around £15,000. It can be a very expensive startup to plunge for three simulators straight away - unless you are certain that you will attract an immediate market. Alternatively consider a profit share scheme to 'test the water'. This reduces your capital outlay which in turn reduces your risk.
