GoSports Golf Simulator Impact Screen – Choose 6.5 ft x 7 ft or 9 ft x 7 ft
Product description
What it is
The GoSports Golf Simulator Impact Screen is a dedicated projector backdrop designed for golf simulators and home viewing. Offered in two practical sizes (6.5 ft x 7 ft or 9 ft x 7 ft), it provides a high-density woven polyester surface intended to handle real golf balls when used with a compatible hitting net and projector setup.
What it’s for
On paper, this screen helps to create a clear, large image for virtual golf and film nights alike. It’s built as a durable backdrop that can be hung or mounted using four corner grommets, and it can connect with the GoSports ELITE Golf Hitting Net for a more integrated simulator space. The idea is to give a steady, uniform backdrop that enhances projector picture quality rather than a traditional screen with its own optics.
How it’s used
If you’re aiming for a compact setup, you can use the smaller 6.5 ft x 7 ft option with a standard projector and compatible net. For bigger spaces, the 9 ft x 7 ft size offers a wider backdrop, which may help when projecting a larger image or when you want more margin around the play area. The material is described as high density woven polyester, designed to be robust enough to accommodate real golf balls, though results will depend on your hitting net and projector arrangement.
What stands out
- Durability: The screen is manufactured from a dense woven fabric that’s intended to withstand regular impact.
- Size options: Two practical dimensions give flexibility for different spaces and projection setups.
- Universal mounting: The four corner grommets offer straightforward hanging, and the option to integrate with the GoSports ELITE Golf Hitting Net can simplify assembly for a home simulator.
What it may not be compelling for
This is not a standalone projector screen with built-in stand or frame. The success of image quality and durability relies on your projector, lighting conditions, and the compatibility of the hitting net and mounting approach. If you’re after a screen with built-in framing or a more premium image surface, this might feel basic in comparison.
Who it’s for
The screen is suited to home golf enthusiasts who already have a simulator setup or are building one with a hitting net and projector. It could also appeal to families looking for a large, versatile backdrop for movie nights indoors or outdoors, provided the projector arrangement works in their space.
When it makes sense to buy
- You want a simple, durable backdrop for a golf simulator and don’t need a fancy frame.
- Your space fits one of the two available sizes and you plan to mount using the provided grommets.
- You prefer to connect to the GoSports ELITE hitting net for a more integrated simulator setup.
When you might want to skip it
- If you require a higher-end screen with a built-in frame or reflective coating specifically optimised for cinema-style viewing.
- If your space isn’t compatible with the mounting options or you don’t have a projector setup yet.
What to check before buying
- Confirm which size fits your space and projection throw distance.
- Ensure you have or will purchase a compatible hitting net if you want a seamless simulator environment.
- Consider room lighting and projector brightness, as image clarity depends on environmental conditions.
Practical usage example
Imagine a weekend with the family: the kids take turns trying drives while you project the latest round on a large backdrop. The screen’s size options let you tailor the image to your living room, so the picture fills the screen without feeling cropped, assuming the projector and mounting are set up correctly.

Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you prioritise a straightforward, durable backdrop for a golf simulator in a home setting and you already have or plan to add a compatible net. If you want cinema-like visuals or a free-standing screen solution, you may want to compare options and consider your space and budget carefully.
