The Pop Up Golf provides an interactive virtual golf experience straight to you that suits golfers and non-golfers alike.
This guide outlines pricing, what’s included, and how to choose the right package for your event and space. If you’ve been searching “virtual golf Sydney”, “golf simulator hire” or “mobile golf simulator”, then this post covers exactly what you need to know.

Mobile Hire vs Fixed Simulator Venues
Consider the following when deciding between mobile golf simulator hire or attending a golf simulator venue.
Mobile golf simulator hire brings the activity to your chosen venue, allowing guests to take part alongside catering, networking and other entertainment.
A fixed simulator venue may suits groups planning a dedicated golf outing. Mobile golf simulator hire suits organisers who want a hosted golf experience within their own event. Reach out to us for a quote ↗ so you can compare the total cost, inclusions, location and format when choosing between the two.
Mobile Event Setup (Most Popular)
This is the self-contained pop up golf simulator that most people picture. Modern mobile simulators recreate full virtual golf experiences through precision tracking and high-quality visuals. We provide a full enclosure, commercial-grade impact screen, professional matting and a calibrated launch monitor system. One of the best advantages of modern golf simulator equipment is they’re actually more flexible than you’d think.
Space and layout required:
Height: 2.75 metres minimum for the standard setup, measured to the lowest fixed object above the hitting area such as lights, beams or sprinklers (3.30 metres for the large inflatable setup)
Width: 3.03 metres from end to end (4.20 metres for the large inflatable setup)
Depth: 5 metres overall, with 5.5 to 6 metres preferred
One standard power outlet
Level ground
Space requirements depend on the simulator setup and activity. Send us the available width, depth and ceiling along, along with photos of the area. We’ll assess the space, access, power and lighting before confirming suitability.
An indoor environment is ideal for our setup but setup can be done outdoors with the proper shelter (marquee, covered terrace, undercover area).
What You Get In Every Hire Package
Hiring a simulator is more than just renting golf equipment. The experience is fully hosted by professionals for you and your mates to experience.
Core Equipment (Included)
Launch monitor technology: We use either photometric or radar-based launch monitors depending on your environment. Both launch monitors deliver accurate data on carry distance, ball speed, spin rate, launch angle and side spin. Not sure what the difference is between launch monitors, click here for more information ↗.
Impact screen and enclosure: A professional 2.6m x 3m impact screen with full safety netting creates a contained hitting bay. This isn’t a bedsheet. It’s Australian sourced and quality material that is designed for repeated high-speed impacts.
Hitting mat and turf: Premium and quality.
Short-throw projector: Provides crisp, bright projection even with ambient lighting.
One set of right-handed clubs: Regular or soft flex, so your ideal swing speeds are covered.
Specialty club options: Kids’, ladies’ and left-handed clubs on request. We’ll confirm the clubs which can be supplied and any applicable changes to the quote.
Software and Gameplay
GSPro Simulation Software ↗: with 300+ courses including Pebble Beach, St Andrews and Augusta National. We’ll ask you prior to your event if there are any specific courses that you want included as well!
Real-time data: Each shot displays carry distance, total distance, ball speed, club speed, launch angle, spin rate and shot shape.
Interactive minigames and competitions: We run engaging formats throughout your booking such as Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, and Single-Hole challenges.
Send us photos or measurements if your space is unusual. Most locations are workable! For more details on individual packages and customisation options, visit our services page ↗.
Choosing the Right Package For Your Event
Corporate Team building
Best: The Social Butterfly (4 hours)
Four hours lets you run structured competitions, mix minigames with casual play, and accommodate larger teams with proper rotations. Corporate groups love the combination of friendly competitions and relaxed networking. Team-based longest drive competitions are really popular here.
Milestone Birthdays
Best: 2 hours for small groups; 4 hours for larger parties
Birthdays benefit from the “drop-in, play a few holes, grab a drink, come back” flow. While two hours helps everyone to have a swing, four hours tends to be more casual and easier for spectators to join in. The most popular format for birthdays tend to be Closest to the Pin minigames.
Community Events and Festivals
Best: The Social Butterfly or The Ultimate
High rotation is key so we manage queues and keep rotations fast with minigames and single-hole challenges, creating a spectator-friendly experience. Longer formats tend to really shine here, specifically, leaderboard competitions that run throughout the day paired with fast-moving minigames.
Market organisers, sporting associations, and Sydney event blogs looking to feature unique entertainment ideas are welcome to reach out about partnership opportunities that may be available.

Minimum 2 weeks, but 6 - 8 weeks is ideal for peak season (September - March). Last minute bookings may work depending on availability - Always worth asking!
-
Yes, but we need proper cover (marquee, terrace roof, solid shelter) to protect equipment from weather and ensure screen visibility. Direct sunlight washes out projection, and rain could damage our electronics.
-
If your outdoor space has adequate cover, we’d like to proceed as planned. If weather compromises setup safety or guest experience, we’ll work with you to reschedule or move to an indoor backup location.
-
The impact screen is high quality and reinforced to significantly dampen sound. Indoor setups tend to contain sound better than outdoor, but neither environment is disruptive in residential or venue environments.
-
Not at all! We include kids’ clubs and run simplified minigames that focus on fun over technique. Children as young as 8 can participate safely with supervision. The immediate feedback will keep your kids engaged, even if they’ve never touched a club.
-
We cover all Sydney metro areas. Travel within 25km of central Sydney incurs no extra fees. Beyond that, we calculate a reasonable travel charged based on distance.
-
We carry public liability insurance for all events. If your venue requires a certificate of currency, let us know when booking and we’ll provide it.
-
Absolutely! Many serious golfers prefer to test out their own equipment in different environments. Our clubs are there as backup or for guests who don’t have their own.
