Design and build experts Oakbridge Bespoke have revealed at-home golf simulators as one of the key leisure trends arising from the pandemic.

Oakbridge Bespoke reports an increasing number of requests for golf simulators as they provide the ability to practise all year round – an attractive feature, given the vagaries of the English climate and the current limitations on domestic and international travel.

Installing a golf simulator comes with its own design considerations. Basement installations are the norm, as rooms without any windows to break are the ideal setting. But those rooms also need to have sufficient depth – the ceiling needs to be at least 3.2m in height in order to allow for a full swing.
