A Thicketts golf simulator room is a fully insulated garden building designed around your swing, with the extra ceiling height, hitting depth and blackout you need for a launch monitor to read properly.
We design, build and fit out golf simulator buildings across Dorset, from the insulated shell to the turf, screen, projector and launch monitor, handed over ready to play.
Every certificate we hold is one you can check yourself. We’ll hand you the paperwork at completion without being asked.
“Every member of the Thicketts team was meticulous, professional and a pleasure to work with. They turned our vision into something truly special.”

Measure your space
Pace out roughly how wide and deep you could go in the garden. We’ll work out the ceiling height your swing needs.
Pick your spec
Choose your launch monitor tier, screen and extras. The price updates instantly as you build, shell and tech together.
Let’s get started
Either our team will call you back to discuss the details or a project manager will pay you a visit - you choose!
Lovely finishes as standard.
Commercial-grade hitting turf, tensioned impact screen and a low-latency projector, all set into a fully finished room with painted walls and controllable lighting. It looks like a studio, not a shed with a net in it.
Height where it matters.
Standard garden rooms simply aren’t tall enough. We raise the internal ceiling to 3.2m or more and set the building depth so your driver clears comfortably, confirmed against your own swing at the survey.
What’s included?
One team takes your golf room from foundations to first tee shot, building and technology together. Every simulator room includes:
More than somewhere to hit balls
However you want to use the room between rounds, we’ll design it in from the start.
Practice bay
Groove your swing year-round with real ball flight data.
Virtual courses
Play St Andrews on a Tuesday night in February.
Coaching studio
High-speed cameras and space for a pro to stand behind you.
Golf room & bar
Sofa, fridge and a screen. The best seat in the house.
Putting studio
A true-roll putting surface alongside the hitting bay.
Home gym
Share the space with your kit and train on rest days.
Sports screen
The projector doubles as a very big telly on match day.
Club fitting
Dial in shafts and lofts without leaving home.
Guarantee
Guaranteed for 10 years
Every simulator room is backed by our insurance-backed 10-Year structural guarantee, with manufacturer warranties on the screen, projector and launch monitor. Terms & conditions apply.
See what’s coveredReasons to build with us
We’re a small Dorset team who care more about doing it right than doing it fast. Here’s what that means for you.
Get an instant priceBuilt around your swing, not a box
We set the ceiling height, hitting depth and screen distance around your driver and your height, so you can swing full-out without a single scuffed ceiling.
Shell and tech, one price
Most companies sell you the building or the kit. We design, build and commission both, so there’s no gap where the room ends and the simulator begins.
Dark, quiet and honest data
Blackout glazing, acoustic insulation and controlled lighting mean the launch monitor reads true and the neighbours never hear a thing.
Ready to play on handover
We fit the turf, screen, projector and monitor, calibrate it with you, and hand over a room you can tee off in that afternoon.
Calibrated, then handed over.
Your launch monitor, projector and software are installed, networked and calibrated by us before we leave. We walk you through your first round, and we’re at the end of the phone afterwards.
