Indoor Golf Projected to be $3 Billion Industry by 2030
When people think of golf, most likely immediately associate it with being outdoors. So it is truly mind-blowing to learn that Straits Research valued the golf simulator market at $1.3 billion in 2021 and projects that it will reach $3.3 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 10.1%.

Arguably at the root of this massive growth is the simulator space, which has been dramatically expanding and becoming more affordable in the last ten years.
Indoor multi-sport and golf simulator commercial play is booming. Food and entertainment businesses like Topgolf Swing Suite, X-Golf, and 5-Iron Golf have seen remarkable growth, with Topgolf indoor suites growing from 29 stores in 2019 to 120-plus locations. The development of indoor golf is not limited to commercial businesses.
Recent technology advances in launch monitors have made home golf simulators more reliable and affordable, driving growth in residential installations as well.

One company, Ace Indoor Golf—a leading golf simulator manufacturer and retailer in the United States—grew its business by more than 50% last year due to the popularity of home golf simulators. The company designs, sells, installs, and provides maintenance of golf simulators to businesses, golf clubs, individuals, golf teams, sim manufacturers, and prominent golf retailers like PGA Tour Superstores and 5-Iron Golf.
The company offers turnkey custom-designed solutions and “Do-It-Yourself” (DIY), off-the-shelf packages that fit golfers’ needs at every price point.

Trevor Faust, Ace Indoor Golf’s president, has some excellent advice for golfers looking to put a simulator in their homes:
“For the DIYer, take your time, do the necessary research, and ask a lot of questions to be sure all of your components will work together correctly. The launch monitor, computer, hitting bay, projector, and screen must work together to provide a safe and enjoyable golf experience. Last, if your skills aren’t in building and technology, I’d suggest hiring a professional installer to prevent mistakes in your simulator setup that can cost you thousands of dollars.”
The combination of consumer demand, affordability, and technological improvements has made simulator golf more popular than ever.
If you are looking to install a residential or commercial golf simulator, Ace Indoor Golf offers a variety of options and brands—from Optishot to Foresight—to accommodate every need and budget.
