Dreaming of your own home driving range? You’re not alone. Whether you're practicing in the backyard, garage, or basement, building a home golf driving range is more achievable than ever, and it doesn't have to break the bank.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to build your own indoor or outdoor golf range setup, complete with our picks for nets, mats, launch monitors, and full practice kits.

How to Build a Home Driving Range

Simple indoor or backyard golf setups. Building your at-home driving range starts with understanding your space. Whether you're setting up in a garage, basement, or open backyard, you'll need three core components: a durable net, a realistic golf mat, and an optional launch monitor for feedback.

For a more DIY approach, you can even build your own golf hitting net using PVC pipes and commercial-grade netting. But most golfers opt for a ready-to-go solution like those in our Golf Nets Collection.

Common questions

How much space do I need for a home golf driving range?

At minimum, you’ll want a ceiling height of 8' to 10' and 10' of depth if using a launch monitor. For full simulators, aim for 12' to 15' in depth. See our Golf Simulators 101 Guide for space requirements by setup type.

Can I build a golf range in my garage?

Yes! Garages are ideal for indoor golf ranges. Just make sure the ceiling is tall enough and the floor is level for safe swings.

What’s the cheapest home golf setup?

A simple net and mat combo is the cheapest way to start. Add a budget-friendly launch monitor to track your game affordably. For more ideas, check out our Golf Simulators Guide.

How do I choose between indoor and outdoor setups?

Indoors offers year-round practice and simulation potential. Outdoors gives you more space but less weather protection. Choose based on how often and where you’ll practice.
