Who Carl's Place Is
Carl's Place is an indoor golf company out of Wisconsin that focuses on the structural side of a simulator: the enclosure, the screen, and the hitting surface. Their reputation is built on a made-to-fit approach, so instead of forcing your room to match a box, the gear is designed to match your room. That same thinking runs through everything in this collection, from a first DIY build to a permanent, dedicated golf room.
Simulator Enclosures and Bays
The enclosure is the frame that holds your screen and protects your walls and ceiling. Carl's Place C-Series bays come in DIY and Pro versions and in several enclosure depths, from a shallow 5 foot setup for tight spaces up to 15 feet for a full room. The DIY route gives you the materials and instructions to build it yourself and save, while the Pro option is a heavier, turn-key build suited to commercial use. There is also a curved enclosure kit that wraps the screen slightly toward you for a more immersive picture.
Impact Screens: Standard, Preferred, and Premium
Your impact screen takes a beating, so Carl's Place offers three tiers of tightly woven screens in their Classic Finish. Standard is a solid starting point for lighter home use, Preferred steps up the material, and Premium is the pick for frequent or commercial play, with a sharper image, longer life, and some noise reduction to soften the sound of impact. Each tier comes plain or with add-ons like side flaps or loop fastener edges, so you can match the screen to how you mount it.
HotShot Hitting Mats and Accessories
The HotShot Golf Mat System gives you a realistic turf feel with a non-slip backing, and it comes in multiple sizes to fit your space and stance. If your hitting strip wears down over time, the replacement HotShot mat strip lets you refresh the landing zone without buying a whole new mat. Carl's Place golf club holders are a simple add-on that keeps your clubs upright and within reach while you play.
Building a Complete Setup
An enclosure, a screen, and a mat are the foundation, but they only tell part of the story. You will still pair them with a launch monitor and a projector to finish the simulator, and everything needs to be sized to work together in your room. Getting the screen size and enclosure depth right the first time saves you the headache of returns and rebuilds later.
