Golf Cabins & Garden Golf Studios

A purpose-built golf room at the bottom of your garden — insulated, powered, and designed around your simulator from day one. We spec the golf technology; our specialist UK build partner designs and constructs the building. Most projects land between £25,000 and £75,000, with premium builds ranging to £150,000.

How it works

  1. WhatsApp Tom a photo of your space with rough measurements — garden, garage or room. You'll get honest guidance on what fits, what it costs, and which launch monitor, screen and software suit your budget — the same free consultation we run for every cage and simulator setup.
  2. Design consultation with our specialist build partner — a UK team that builds golf rooms and nothing else: discovery call, simulator-first room architecture, full design and quotation.
  3. Build, calibrate, launch — construction, technology installation, screen geometry calibration and handover. You hit balls on day one.

Why spec your golf room with OpenGolfer?

The building is half the project — the golf technology is the other half, and it's the half that decides whether the room gets used every day or becomes an expensive shed. We're independent on the tech: we stock and advise across launch monitors from £199 to tour-grade, impact screens and components, and complete simulator bundles — so your room is designed around the right launch monitor for your space and budget, not whatever a builder happens to resell. And if a full build isn't right yet, we'll say so — a garden cage or a room-fit simulator bundle might serve you better first.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for a golf cabin?

Many garden buildings fall under permitted development, but the rules are stricter than for temporary structures: height limits apply (typically 2.5m near a boundary), and internal ceiling height for a driver swing usually means positioning the cabin away from boundaries or seeking permission. Your build consultation covers this properly for your property — and it's practical guidance, not legal advice.

How tall does a golf cabin need to be inside?

For full driver swings, plan on ~2.7–3m internal ceiling height. Iron-only rooms can work lower — tell us your tallest golfer and we'll confirm what your space allows before anything is drawn.

What does a golf simulator cabin cost in the UK?

Realistic budgets: purpose-built simulator cabins typically start around £25,000; bespoke garden golf rooms commonly run £40,000–£100,000; premium projects reach £150,000. The golf technology inside (launch monitor, screen, projector, software) is specified separately to fit your budget — from ~£2,500 to £20,000+.

Can I supply my own simulator equipment?

Yes. If you already own a launch monitor we'll design the room around it — radar units need ball-flight depth behind and in front of the ball, camera units need much less, and that difference changes the room design. That's exactly what the free consultation resolves.

How long does a build take?

Garage conversions are the fastest route; garden cabins and bespoke rooms depend on groundworks, spec and season. You'll get honest timelines in your design consultation — we'd rather quote you a real date than a nice one.

Not ready for a full build?

Start outdoors with the Pro Golf Cage & Hitting Mat Bundle from £734.99, or fit a simulator bundle to the room you already have — the same free WhatsApp consultation covers all three routes.
