Golf Simulators come in various shapes and sizes including the budget simulators such as Golf Achiever to the to the high end simulators such as HD Golf Simulators. So what's the difference between them and why are some £40,000 plus and others closer to £10,000 in price.
Let's start with the high end simulators and why they charge the prices they do. All of these simulators tend to have one thing in common. They all provide game play on all of the well known Golf courses such a Peeble Beech for example. These clubs require a licence to be purchased allowing these companies to use their name and courses in their simulators. This is the biggest reason for price differential between the Golf Simulators as the more economical simulators tend to courses that you would not have heard of.
Then we come to the technology used in the simulator and the cost to implement these products. You have a choice between radar, high speed cameras, laser, lighting grids to name but a few. There is a slight difference between the technologies but all produce give some realistic game play with the laser, radar and high speed cameras proving to be the best in our opinion. All however predict how the ball flies at it is at best only tracking the ball to the screen.
Then we come to the quality of the picture and screen you are playing into. Most Golf Simulators use mapping technology which takes a plan of the course and then using modelling techniques produce a computer generated image of the hole you are playing. One benefit here is that you get a 3D view when you play the game just like you would play a game on a PC or play station.
The other option is playing into photo realistic image this gives you a feeling you are actually on the course you are playing rather than on a computer game. The quality of the picture is not just more realistic but better quality as it's usually taken at high resolutions. The only drawback is you do not get the 3D effect that's available in the mapping type simulators.
