The launch monitor already drifts from session to session. Nothing about the bay looks wrong; the problem sits under the ball. A strike and tee-line surface, a fairway or rough transition, and a putting green share one floor. The purchase sheet carries one pile-height line for all three.<\/p>\n<p>The failure rarely shows up as polished yarn; it shows up as geometry. Pile and padding settle, ball position changes, and launch-monitor numbers wander with them. Per published MightyGrass figures, a golf simulator hitting surface must withstand thousands of repetitive strikes every week. In one reviewer&#8217;s testing, a matted surface pushed side-spin readings up by 18 percent. We build turf rolls for floors like this, and our answer is a zone-by-zone spec with numbers you can accept on site.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-one-simulator-bay-carries-three-turf-surfaces\">Why One Simulator Bay Carries Three Turf Surfaces<\/h2>\n<p>A commercial bay is not one court, it is three. Per one B2B manufacturer&#8217;s three-zone system, an academy surface carries a Hitting Area of high-density nylon for heavy use. The same system adds a Fairway Zone for true fairway roll on approach shots, and a Rough Zone of longer pile for realistic chipping challenges. Each zone loads the yarn differently and needs its own spec line.<\/p>\n<p>The strike zone carries the brutal load. Per published MightyGrass figures, a golf simulator hitting surface must withstand thousands of repetitive strikes every week. The putting surface under the same roof runs on different parameters entirely. One indoor golf vendor&#8217;s spec sheet lists polyamide monofilament at 13 mm, 2,753 g\/m\u00b2 and 67,200 knots\/m\u00b2, rolling 10 feet on the stimpmeter.<\/p>\n<p>Space raises the stakes. Per one space-planning article, a standard commercial bay with its buffer consumes around 280 to 320 square feet of pure playing footprint. Specifying one pile height for all three surfaces is like specifying one tyre for a van, a saloon and a race car \u2014 two of the three will underperform. In our view, one pile height across that footprint guarantees one zone fails first.<\/p>\n<p>So we treat one bay as one specification with three parts. Commercial golf simulator turf is bought per zone, and we ask for the bay drawing before quoting a single roll. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/artificial-grass-putting-green\/golf-turf\/\">golf turf rolls<\/a> run 2 m, 4 m and 5 m widths by 25 m, with pile height, density, colour and backing made to spec. On any artificial turf installation, the drawing decides which width covers which zone.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-pile-height-does-a-strike-surface-need\">What Pile Height Does a Strike Surface Need?<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/portable-putting-green-scene.jpg\" data-img-slot=\"1\" width=\"1120\" height=\"680\" alt=\"Indoor putting practice setup on a wooden floor with a slope trainer, a golf ball and a putter\" class=\"wp-image-115\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/portable-putting-green-scene.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/portable-putting-green-scene-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/portable-putting-green-scene-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/portable-putting-green-scene-768x466.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><figcaption>Pile height decides how consistently the ball sits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Per published MightyGrass figures, the optimal thickness for hitting areas is 10\u201316 mm, with 8\u201310 mm of EVA or PE padding added. The same source ties that combination to consistent ball height and fewer sensor misreads. When thickness settles, ball position moves, and every spin and clubhead number moves with it. A golf simulator turf spec for the strike zone starts here.<\/p>\n<p>In our view, six fields make a strike surface acceptable: pile height band, pile height tolerance, face weight, abrasion cycles, non-reflective fibre and slip resistance. Per published MightyGrass figures, the face-weight band is 1,200\u20131,600 g\/m\u00b2 with 8,000\u201310,000 Lisport cycles, and pile height tolerance is \u00b10.3 mm. We would rather see a buyer argue about the tolerance number than about feel. That set of six turns a generic roll into a strike surface on any artificial turf installation.<\/p>\n<p>The same vendor credits non-reflective fibre dyes with preventing radar and camera misreads on systems like TrackMan, GCQuad, Uneekor and SkyTrak. Per published MightyGrass figures, professional-grade density means no denting, no fibre shedding and no bald spots, with a non-slip base for high-power swings.<\/p>\n<p>Third-party listings show the spread. One retail comparison lists a 15 mm EVA base under 16 mm of turf with a claimed 150,000-hit capacity. One UK strike-surface spec sheet describes a dense 25 mm nylon tee-up surface with heat-resistant fibres and clean divot action.<\/p>\n<p>We cover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/thick-should-a-golf-mat-be-pile-height\/\">how thick a golf mat should be<\/a> in a separate guide.

The two options fail differently, and the spec should state which failure you prefer to manage.<\/p>\n<p>A continuous run has fewer seams and a cleaner look. Per published MightyGrass figures, full rolls in 2 m to 4 m widths suit commercial bays, academies and multi-bay centres. The cost appears at replacement: when the strike band wears out, a continuous tee line changes as one piece, closing the bay for the whole swap.<\/p>\n<p>Insert strips invert the trade. Per published MightyGrass figures, one 30-meter continuous tee line system had TeeStrike strips installed every 1 meter \u2014 a precedent for treating roughly one metre as the rotation unit. Common formats run 2\u00d73 ft hitting strip, 3\u00d75 ft, 4\u00d76 ft and 5\u00d75 ft, with the 2\u00d73 ft strip suited to modular replacement. One reviewer adds the corollary: the hitting strip is replaceable.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-putting-green-dense-short-pile-texture.jpg\" data-img-slot=\"2\" width=\"1120\" height=\"680\" alt=\"Macro surface view of synthetic golf turf with dense, non-directional curly fibers\" class=\"wp-image-2115\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-putting-green-dense-short-pile-texture.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-putting-green-dense-short-pile-texture-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-putting-green-dense-short-pile-texture-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-putting-green-dense-short-pile-texture-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-putting-green-dense-short-pile-texture-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><figcaption>Fiber density and curl decide how a tee line wears.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Swaps need batch discipline. Spares should come from the same production batch and dye lot, or a fresh strip reads visibly lighter against a worn run.<\/p>\n<p>Tee-up inserts accept rubber tees. One UK vendor lists tee-up surfaces in 1.0 m \u00d7 1.2 m, 1.0 m \u00d7 2.0 m and 1.0 m \u00d7 2.7 m formats. For driving range tee line turf in a multi-bay centre, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/golf-driving-range-turf-tee-lines\/\">tee line guide<\/a> covers the wider choice. The golf simulator turf decision here is a rotation policy, not a style choice.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fairway-and-rough-approach-turf-in-one-bay\">Fairway and Rough Approach Turf in One Bay<\/h2>\n<p>Between strike zone and green sit the transition zones. Per the same three-zone system, the Fairway Zone gives true fairway roll for approach shots, while the Rough Zone uses longer pile for realistic chipping challenges. Neither zone sees club-level impact at strike frequency, yet both take constant foot traffic.<\/p>\n<p>That is why one pile height across the whole bay fails one zone first. Impact dents the strike area, traffic mats the transition turf, and roll speed drifts on the green. Our position is to write those three failure modes into the specification separately, each with its own maintenance cadence. In our experience, transition zones are where facilities first see matting, because every lesson walks across them.<\/p>\n<p>Maintenance differs accordingly. Per one maintenance guide, a stiff-bristle brush lifts flattened fibres and spreads the infill back out, and infill levels should be maintained for a consistent surface. A golf simulator turf spec should assign that cadence per zone \u2014 the strike zone weekly, the transitions by traffic, the green by stimp drift.<\/p>\n<p>Because we tuft to order, zone-by-zone variation is straightforward: pile height, density, colour and backing are customisable, with backing in PP+Net or PU. On most artificial turf installations, the transition zones are where a custom colour change matters most.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"putting-surface-turf-and-ball-roll-consistency\">Putting Surface Turf and Ball Roll Consistency<\/h2>\n<p>The putting surface is accepted on a different instrument entirely. Per one indoor golf vendor&#8217;s spec sheet, the reference build is polyamide monofilament at 13 mm, 2,753 g\/m\u00b2 and 67,200 knots\/m\u00b2. That build rolls 10 feet on the stimpmeter. One retailer describes its premium green as similar to a well-manicured bentgrass surface with a stimp speed of 10. One integrated floor system rolls between a 9 and 10 on the stimpmeter.<\/p>\n<p>Our position is that stimp drift, not pile loss, is the putting-zone failure mode. A green can look untouched and still roll slower after months of traffic. That is why the acceptance test is a stimpmeter run, not a thumb press. The strike zone teaches the same lesson: in one reviewer&#8217;s testing, a matted hitting surface bumped side spin up by 18 percent.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hitting-off-mats-grass-turf-practice-ruin-swing-slot3.webp\" data-img-slot=\"3\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" alt=\"Yellow-green golf ball resting beside the cup on a putting green\" class=\"wp-image-1280\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hitting-off-mats-grass-turf-practice-ruin-swing-slot3.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hitting-off-mats-grass-turf-practice-ruin-swing-slot3-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hitting-off-mats-grass-turf-practice-ruin-swing-slot3-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hitting-off-mats-grass-turf-practice-ruin-swing-slot3-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hitting-off-mats-grass-turf-practice-ruin-swing-slot3-16x12.webp 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>The surface at the cup decides how the ball rolls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sensor discipline applies here as much as yarn choice. Garmin&#8217;s own manual advises avoiding reflective surfaces within view of the launch monitor camera, and avoiding shots from tall grass or divots that obstruct its view. Per one accuracy-focused analysis, a 1-degree misalignment can skew spin rates by 200 RPM or more.<\/p>\n<p>Layering follows the zone. In our view, the strike zone answers to pile tolerance, and the green to stimp roll speed. In a golf simulator turf spec, the green keeps its own acceptance line, and most artificial turf installations treat it as a separate test.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-thick-should-underlayment-be-over-concrete\">How Thick Should Underlayment Be Over Concrete?<\/h2>\n<p>Over a concrete slab, the floor is three layers: turf on top, a shock layer in the middle, hard structure beneath. Per published MightyGrass figures, turf can be installed over concrete floors with an EVA or PE shock pad to reduce noise and protect the base. The same source lists 8 mm and 10 mm pads with 20\u201325% noise reduction, and a 10\u201320 mm customisable range.<\/p>\n<p>In a golf simulator turf build over concrete, that middle layer is four items at once: comfort, noise, levelness and data. Third-party builds show the scale. One reviewed strike mat pairs a 5\/8-inch high-density foam base with turf fibres, reaching 1.8 inches total at 1.4 lbs per square foot. Write down pad thickness band, finished levelness and monitor height.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bocce-bocce-court-design-g-34716920.webp\" data-img-slot=\"4\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" alt=\"A piece of artificial turf laid flat on a light-colored floor with an upright roll beside it\" class=\"wp-image-748\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bocce-bocce-court-design-g-34716920.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bocce-bocce-court-design-g-34716920-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bocce-bocce-court-design-g-34716920-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/bocce-bocce-court-design-g-34716920-768x576.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>Underlayment thickness is set before the turf meets the slab.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Levelness is the silent one. Per one accuracy-focused analysis, a slope of just 1 degree tilts the hitting mat and affects club path and face angle readings. Garmin&#8217;s own manual advises placing the launch monitor at the same level as the hitting mat. Per published MightyGrass figures, a non-slip base keeps the mat in place during powerful swings.<\/p>\n<p>For the wider method, we cover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/lay-artificial-grass-indoors-hard-floors\/\">laying artificial grass on hard indoor floors<\/a> in a separate guide. Within the bay, write the shock layer as one line on any artificial turf installation: thickness band, noise target, levelness and monitor height, each with a check.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bay-dimensions-roll-width-and-seam-layout\">Bay Dimensions, Roll Width and Seam Layout<\/h2>\n<p>Dimensions come first because they decide the roll. Per one integrator&#8217;s planning guide, bay width runs 13 to 15 feet and depth 16 to 20 feet. Ceiling height has a 9 feet minimum, though many spaces feel best above 10 feet. Tee-to-screen of 10 feet is a common comfort target. One system maker, Uneekor, recommends a minimum space of about 13 by 15 by 10 feet, with overhead units mounted in the 9\u201310 ft range.<\/p>\n<p>Commercial footprints sit above those floors. Per one space-planning article, a single commercial bay calls for roughly 15 feet of room width, 10 feet of ceiling and 18 to 20 feet of depth. With its buffer, the same article puts a standard bay at 280 to 320 square feet. Per one franchise operator&#8217;s planning table, chains work on 15\u201318 feet centre to centre and 10\u201312 feet of ceiling. Most simulators need at least 10 feet of width, 15 feet of depth and 9 feet of ceiling for full swings.<\/p>\n<p>Where ceilings are tight, one analysis notes ceiling-mounted units such as the Trackman iO bringing the requirement to about 9 feet 4 inches.<\/p>\n<p>Then convert width into rolls. A bay 13 to 15 feet wide is about 4.0 to 4.6 metres, which one 4 m roll covers in a single run. Per published MightyGrass figures, 4 m wide full turf rolls give seamless bay coverage and stronger durability. Our rolls come in 2 m, 4 m and 5 m widths by 25 m, so the drawing picks the width.<\/p>\n<p>Seams are the last decision, and in our view the one most often skipped. On any artificial turf installation, seams should avoid three lines: the strike and tee-line stance band, the tee-to-screen ball path, and the putting line. Bay depth sets how many cross seams you will see, so run the roll direction along the depth. A golf simulator turf layout that keeps those lines clean reads as one floor, not a patchwork.<\/p>\n<p>Everything above compresses into one document: the bay drawing and a zone-by-zone specification table.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-box\" style=\"background-color:#1a2b3c;border-radius:6px;padding:30px;margin:35px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#ffffff;margin-top:0;\">Strike Surface Wearing Out Before the Bay Pays?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#ffffff;\">Send your bay dimensions and zone spec.

A stadium-grade maintenance table maps onto that picture once you split it by zone. Per one turf supplier&#8217;s heavy-use row, brush and clean after every game or daily, and check infill monthly or more often. Deep cleaning lands every 2\u20133 months, and inspection every 3\u20136 months.<\/p>\n<p>The strike zone earns that row. Per one maintenance guide, a stiff-bristle brush lifts flattened fibres and spreads the infill back out \u2014 run it after every session. The cost of skipping it is a data problem: in one reviewer&#8217;s testing, a matted hitting surface bumped side spin up by 18 percent. One strike-surface vendor keeps the routine simple: brush to keep the fibres upright and vacuum to remove debris.<\/p>\n<p>Use an upholstery attachment, since per the maintenance guide standard vacuum heads yank out infill. Check infill depth monthly and top it up, usually 1\u20132 lbs per square foot. Replacement tees and cups should be swapped every 3\u20136 months, because worn tees mess with ball flight data. The putting zone follows stimp drift \u2014 when the roll slows, that is the replacement trigger.<\/p>\n<p>Rotation closes the loop. With insert strips set roughly every 1 metre, per published MightyGrass figures, both the rotation unit and the stoppage are one strip. On any artificial turf installation we specify, the rotation unit, spare batch and swap window belong on the same line as the cleaning cadence.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"acceptance-checks-for-a-simulator-bay-turf-spec\">Acceptance Checks for a Simulator Bay Turf Spec<\/h2>\n<p>Everything above compresses into a checklist a buyer can run on site. We group it into four checks, each number traceable to a source, and treat the six field groups behind them as the minimum for any simulator bay order.<\/p>\n<h3>Strike Surface Pile Height and Tolerance<\/h3>\n<p>Per published MightyGrass figures, the hitting band is 10\u201316 mm with 8\u201310 mm of EVA or PE padding. The same source puts face weight at 1,200\u20131,600 g\/m\u00b2 with 8,000\u201310,000 Lisport cycles, and tolerance at \u00b10.3 mm. On site, measure pile across the strike band and reject the zone if the spread exceeds the stated tolerance.<\/p>\n<h3>Launch Monitor Reading Consistency<\/h3>\n<p>Garmin&#8217;s own manual advises keeping reflective surfaces out of the camera&#8217;s view and matching monitor height to the mat. Per one accuracy-focused analysis, a slope of just 1 degree tilts the hitting mat and skews club path and face angle readings. On site, confirm the floor is level and the sensor plane matches the strike plane.<\/p>\n<h3>Shock Layer Over the Slab<\/h3>\n<p>Per published MightyGrass figures, an 8 mm or 10 mm EVA or PE pad cuts noise by 20\u201325%. The customisable range runs 10\u201320 mm, with a non-slip base specified for high-power swings. On site, check pad thickness against the paperwork and walk the bay for level.<\/p>\n<h3>Roll Width, Seams and Cleaning Cadence<\/h3>\n<p>Full rolls mean fewer seams: per published MightyGrass figures, 2 m to 4 m widths suit commercial bays, with 4 m giving seamless coverage. Per one turf supplier&#8217;s heavy-use row, brushing follows every session or daily, infill checks monthly, deep cleaning every 2\u20133 months and inspection every 3\u20136 months. On site, compare the seam map against the three protected lines and pin the cadence to a named owner.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, the six field groups are: zone pile heights with tolerance, face weight and abrasion, and shock layer with levelness. The last three are roll width with a seam map, stimp speed, and cleaning cadence with a named owner. On any artificial turf installation, a specification missing one of those groups is where disputes start.
