Golf simulator rooms · Buffalo & Rochester

Your golf season just got five months longer.

Two ways to build

Use the space you have, or build the space you need.

Conversion

Garage & basement rooms

We turn a garage bay or basement into a finished simulator room: framed enclosure, impact screen, turf, launch monitor, projection, lighting, and climate control so it's comfortable in February. Most of our work is here, because it's the fastest way to be hitting balls this winter.

Backyard building

Standalone sim pods

Most houses around here don't have the ceiling height. Most yards have the room. We build an insulated, conditioned 16′ × 24′ structure in your yard, fully outfitted, and handle the electrical run and permitting. A separate building also means no noise in the house and no cars displaced.

Our first room

A two-car garage in Hamburg. Ours.

Before we sold a single room we built one for ourselves, in the garage on Brierwood. Same house, same kids' bikes, same ceiling as everyone else on the street. Here's what it looked like, what we did, and how it plays.

Before

A garage, doing garage things

Golf cart, two bikes, a chest freezer, folding chairs, and a floor that slopes toward the door like every slab in Western New York.

Garage before: garage door wall, folding table and chairs, kids' bikes on a bare concrete floor Garage before: golf cart, wall-mounted bikes, chest freezer and storage shelves
Framing

One new wall, and the bay becomes a room

We framed a partition across the second bay in wood, kept the garage door and opener working on the car side, and ran electrical for the projector, screen wall and heat pump before anything closed up.

Finishes

Drywall, paint, slat wainscot, lighting

Walls closed and painted, a fluted wood wainscot around the room with a built-in cabinet for the PC and launch monitor, and track lighting on the beam. The slab stayed exactly as it was.

Finished walls painted warm taupe with fluted wood wainscot, track lighting and an equipment cabinet
After

Screen, green, and a place to sit

Foresight launch monitor, PuttView projected green with nine cups, two displays for the sim and the game, blackout drapes, ductless heat, and an equipment cabinet built into the wainscot. Leather chairs on the carpet where the golf cart used to park.

Finished room from the back: impact screen with a course view, black drapes, door, two wall displays and the PuttView cabinet Lounge end of the room: slat-wall equipment cabinet, PuttView unit, leather couch and side tables on plaid carpet
Leather club chair and stairs beside the full impact screen, with a wall display and the ductless heat pump above Pin flag wall, golf bag, leather chair and a wall display at the far end of the putting green

The putting green is engineered, not guessed

Every break on the green is on a drawing first.

This is the contour plan for our own green: a 3.4 by 4.9 meter surface with six elevation bands, slopes from 1% to 3% laid out so a putt actually breaks the way a real green does, and the cup positions set before the first sheet of foam was cut. The foam underlay is shaped to this plan, then the turf goes over it. You get the same drawing for your room, and it gets framed on the wall.

Surface
3.40 m × 4.87 m (about 11′ × 16′)
Elevation bands
6, from 0.27 m to 0.70 m spacing
Slopes
1.0% to 3.0%
Cups
9 positions

How it works

From site visit to first swing.

Site visit

Free · 45 minutes

We measure the space, check ceiling height and slope, look at your electrical panel, and talk about how you'll actually use the room.

Design & quote

Within one week

A drawn layout, an equipment list with the specific launch monitor and projector, and a fixed price. No allowances that balloon later.

Build

2–4 weeks · 8–12 for pods

Our own crew does the framing, finishes, and installation. Electrical and HVAC are done by licensed trades we work with every week.

Calibrate & hand off

Half a day

We dial in the launch monitor, set up your courses, and walk you through it until you're comfortable. Then you play.

Who's building it

Named for the course we grew up on.

Brierwood is the course in Hamburg where our founder grew up and still lives; the club has a new name now, but around here it's still Brierwood. The company comes out of a Buffalo property business whose crews turn over and rebuild hundreds of apartments a year across Buffalo and Rochester. Framing, drywall, flooring, and finish work is what we do every day. The simulator side started when we converted one of our own garage bays, learned what the equipment vendors don't tell you, and decided the rest of Western New York should have one too.

We build in wood, source equipment directly, and don't mark up what we don't install. The launch monitor and projector in your quote are named by brand and model, and you can price them yourself.

A detail only we do

We don't level your garage floor. We map it.

Garage slabs slope toward the door by design. Grinding or building up a level floor adds thousands and gains you nothing. We survey the slab, build the hitting strip dead level, and hand you a framed contour map of your own floor for the wall.

LEVEL STRIP BACK WALL · 0″ DOOR · −2½″

Example: a two-car garage slab falling 2½″ over 20 feet. Yours will be different, which is the point.
