We have a lot of options here. We have Xgolf (indoor simulator), top golf (heated bar/outdoor multilevel driving range) good for working on swing early in the day, like a party bowling alley after noon, and most legit courses have indoor simulators you can rent time on. I prefer Trackman simulators if im gonna “pay to play”. In MN winter can be 4-6 months of subzero and feet if snow. It was more cost effective to keep my swing to put a “range” in my garage.
Net-80$
Mat-200-300$, well worth it, tried the smaller mats etc and its worth the money to go legit range mat. I have litterally hit thousands of shots on this set up. Mat shows zero signs of wear. Drop cloth in net was replaced by my wife, otherwise its been solid.
I also have a Swing Caddie 300. Its ok for the $ but in hind sight i should have gone FlightScope mevo for that price range i think.
I can full swing everything including driver. 9’ ceiling, even my buddy whos 6’ can hit driver in there. Down sides are obvious but foot spray powder on club face and were it impacts back drop give pretty good idea of ball flight with a monitor. Hits right side of drop and distance sucks, it was a slice, distance good it probably was a draw. And the major down side to matts is the forgiveness on fat shot feed back. I drop a towel or piece of paper etc behind ball if im curious about wear i contacted the ground etc. All in all i start off the spring pretty strong.
The biggest thing that my friends and i have noticed is that it creates good habits of staying down on the ball. There is no ball flight to rush to watch.
