A complete, professionally installed custom home golf simulator in DFW typically represents a total investment ranging from approximately $20,000 at the entry level to well over $50,000 for a premium or TrackMan-based suite. That range reflects a full-service build — in-person room design, premium equipment, professional in-house installation, calibration, and user training — not just the retail cost of buying hardware. This distinction matters because the same launch monitor performs very differently in a properly designed room versus an improvised setup, and the professional service surrounding the equipment is a substantial part of what you are paying for.

Why a Custom Golf Simulator Is Priced as a Full-Service Installation
Most homeowners start their research by looking up the retail price of a launch monitor, screen, or projector. What they discover is that buying components individually and expecting them to work together is not how this product category works at a quality level. A professional custom installation involves far more than hardware.
The investment you make with 19th Hole Golf Simulators covers an in-person room assessment and design consultation, equipment selection tailored to your specific room dimensions and goals, all physical installation work performed by our in-house team, system calibration and testing, and a complete user walkthrough on day one. It also reflects the expertise that ensures your launch monitor is positioned, calibrated, and configured to deliver accurate data rather than numbers that look impressive but do not reflect what your club is actually doing.
This is why comparing 19th Hole’s investment to a consumer product you find online is comparing two fundamentally different things. Read more about what a professional golf simulator installation actually includes.
The Major Cost Drivers in a Custom Installation
1. Launch Monitor Tier
The launch monitor is the largest single variable in the total investment. Entry-level professional configurations using the original Uneekor dual-camera system represent the most accessible starting point. Mid-tier systems using the Uneekor EYE XO or EYE XO2 add non-marked ball technology and expanded data capture. TrackMan and premium FlightScope configurations sit at the top of the range. Each tier delivers meaningfully different data depth, room flexibility, and long-term performance.
2. Screen and Enclosure
Every 19th Hole installation uses Carl’s Place screens and enclosures, the industry standard for impact resistance and projection quality. Screen size is determined by your room dimensions and is custom-fitted to the space. A larger screen in a wider room carries a higher investment than a standard-width configuration, but it also delivers a significantly more immersive experience.
3. Projector System
The projector must be matched to your specific room’s throw distance, ceiling height mounting constraints, and ambient lighting conditions. Short-throw and ultra-short-throw projectors serve rooms where ceiling-mounted placement is close to the screen. The resolution (1080p vs 4K), brightness (lumens), and throw ratio all affect both performance and investment.
4. TruGolf Software and Hardware
TruGolf MAX 4K systems include the APOGEE launch monitor unit and access to the E6 Connect software platform, which covers 150,000+ worldwide courses, player profiles, league management, and tournament formats. The computer system running the software must meet specifications for smooth rendering. Visit TruGolf’s website for platform details.
5. Flooring, Turf, and Hitting Mat
Premium synthetic turf hitting areas, all-terrain mats that simulate rough and bunker lies, and full-room flooring are part of a complete installation. The scope of flooring work varies significantly between a basic hitting mat and a fully finished luxury room with custom flooring and integrated turf zones.
6. TourPutt (Optional)
TourPutt‘s augmented reality putting system is an optional addition that adds meaningful investment but also adds the short game dimension that most home simulators lack. For serious golfers who know that putting accounts for roughly 40 percent of all strokes, this addition delivers real scoring value.
7. Room Preparation and Finishing
Some rooms require minimal preparation — a clean garage with adequate ceiling height and standard electrical. Others require framing adjustments, blackout treatments, lighting installation, HVAC additions (important in DFW garages through the summer), or custom carpentry. Room preparation scope is identified during the in-person consultation so there are no surprises.
Configuration Tiers by Total Investment
| Configuration | Approx. Investment | Launch Monitor | Best For |
| Entry-Level | ~$20,000-$28,000 | Uneekor Original Framework | Solid daily practice, casual course play |
| Mid-Range | ~$28,000-$40,000 | Uneekor EYE XO or EYE XO2 | Serious improvement + family entertainment |
| Premium | ~$40,000-$55,000 | EYE XO2 or FlightScope | Maximum home data, luxury room finish |
| Top-Tier | $55,000+ | TrackMan | Tour-level accuracy, coaching environments |
These ranges reflect a complete turnkey installation: all equipment, professional design, in-house installation, calibration, and training. They are not component retail prices. Your actual investment depends on room scope, configuration choices, and optional additions. Every project receives a personalized in-person estimate.

The True Cost Comparison: Simulator vs. DFW Private Club Membership
Many of our clients frame the investment against the alternative: a DFW private club membership. Premier private golf clubs in the area commonly carry initiation fees ranging from $30,000 to well over $100,000, with annual dues of $10,000 or more on top of that. A home simulator at any configuration tier represents a one-time investment with no recurring dues, no tee time constraints, unlimited use, and a luxury amenity that adds value to your property rather than recurring expense to your budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the investment include installation, or just equipment?
The total investment with 19th Hole Golf Simulators always includes in-person room design, all equipment, professional in-house installation, calibration, and user training. We do not sell equipment-only packages.
What is the least expensive way to get a quality simulator from 19th Hole?
An entry-level configuration using the original Uneekor framework, a Carl’s Place screen, and TruGolf software represents the most accessible starting point. Your in-person consultation will show you exactly what that configuration looks like in your specific room.
Can I get an accurate estimate without an in-person consultation?
A rough range is possible, but an accurate estimate requires seeing your room. Ceiling height, room depth, electrical, and any needed room preparation all affect the final investment. The in-person consultation is free.
Does a more expensive launch monitor make a bigger difference to the experience?
Yes, meaningfully so. Higher-tier monitors deliver more data points, greater accuracy on off-center hits, and more flexibility in room placement. For golfers who use the system daily for serious practice, the upgrade is consistently worth it.
