Every simulator has a starting point.
Sometimes it’s a phone call.
Sometimes it’s a form filled out late at night.
Sometimes it’s just a simple question:
“Can I actually make this work in my space?”
Where It Begins
The moment you reach out — whether through a landing page, the website, or by calling in — your project is already in motion.
Your inquiry is captured, organized, and assigned to a regional sales representative. With our team of trusted professionals across Canada, there’s someone local who understands your environment, your market, and the unique considerations that come with building a simulator in your region.
You’re not speaking to a general inbox. You’re connected with someone who knows how to bring your space to life. And from there, the conversation begins.
Understanding the Vision
Before anything is recommended, we take the time to understand your goal for the space.
For some, it’s a home simulator. For others, it’s a commercial facility, a coaching studio, or a high-performance training space.
We talk through how the simulator will be used, who will be using it, and what kind of experience you want when you step into the space.
Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about fitting equipment into a room — it’s about building an environment that works for you.
Looking at the Space
Once the vision is clear, attention shifts to the physical space itself.
Through a site visit, we assess the details that truly define the experience:
- Ceiling height
- Room dimensions
- Hitting direction
- Projector placement
- Electrical requirements
We’re also thinking about how the space will feel — not just how it fits.
For example, an ideal simulator room might allow for a full, centered hitting area with proper depth and width, but that doesn’t mean every project needs to follow a perfect template.
Some clients have large dedicated rooms. Others are working within tighter dimensions. Either way, the goal stays the same: make the space work as well as it possibly can.
Bringing the Plan Together
Shortly after the site visit, everything comes together in a detailed quotation.
This isn’t a rough number — it’s a complete breakdown of your simulator system:
- The launch monitor
- Technology (projector, PC, touchscreen if needed)
- The structure and enclosure
- Installation and delivery
At this stage, we’re also considering the different build options available. Some spaces call for a full enclosure or “hardwall” style build that creates a seamless, immersive environment. Others may be better suited to simpler frame systems or more flexible setups. Even details like screen type — single or dual — and turf selection start to come into play.
From clean hitting mats to full turf layouts with rough and fringe variations, every element contributes to how the simulator looks and performs.
Seeing It Before It’s Built
About a week after approval — and once the initial deposit is in place — the design phase begins.
This is where everything becomes real.
Renderings show how the simulator will come together:
- The structure and layout
- Screen placement
- Turf coverage and hitting area
- Projector positioning
- Wall and ceiling treatments
And this is where customization really takes shape.
Some clients choose full overhead coverage for a clean, finished look. Others opt for simpler solutions like netting or open ceilings, depending on the space. Wall protection can vary as well — from acoustic panels to curtains or integrated finishes — all designed to balance performance, durability, and aesthetics.
This stage is also where refinement happens.
Most projects go through at least one revision cycle. Adjustments are made, layouts are optimized, and updated drawings are created for final sign-off. This attention to detail is what makes the installation process smooth. Everything is thought through ahead of time — so when build day comes, there are no surprises.
Making It Work Financially
At this stage, the project is underway — and we aim to make the process as flexible as possible.
A 50% deposit is required to begin design and production, with the remaining balance due prior to installation.
We offer multiple payment options, including:
- E-transfer
- Credit card
- Cheque
For those looking for flexibility, financing is also available through partners like Financeit and CWB — making it easier to move forward without needing to pay everything upfront.
Getting Ready for Installation
As installation approaches, preparation becomes key.
About two weeks before install, you’ll receive a pre-install checklist outlining everything needed to ensure the space is ready. This includes electrical readiness, site access, and final preparation details.
It’s also where expectations are clearly defined:
Foresight Sports Canada focuses on the simulator itself.
Any construction or renovation work — electrical, drywall, structural changes — must be completed beforehand.
Once the space is ready, everything else moves quickly.
When It All Comes Together
Installation day is where everything changes.
What was once an empty room — or an underused space — begins to transform.
The structure goes up. The screen is installed. Turf is laid. Technology is calibrated.
All the decisions made earlier — layout, materials, design — now come together in one cohesive space.
And suddenly, it’s not just a plan anymore.
It’s a place you can step into and play.
Beyond the Build
Once everything is installed, we walk you through the system.
How to use it. How to understand your data. How to get the most out of your setup.
From launch monitor calibration to software navigation, we make sure you feel confident from day one.
And the relationship doesn’t end there.
We’re here for ongoing support, upgrades, and whatever comes next.
Final Thought
No two simulator builds look exactly the same.
That’s the point.
From structure and screen options to turf, wall protection, and overall layout, every decision is made around the space — and the golfer using it.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about building a simulator.
It’s about building your simulator.
And it all starts with reaching out.
