CaddieBay

A caddie advises. They don't sell you clubs. CaddieBay does the same job for a home golf simulator: we tell you what a real build costs and which component is actually worth buying at your budget, and we don't have a kit to move.

Three caddies in matching uniforms and wide-brimmed sun hats stand on a tee holding covered clubs, watching a golfer play his shot down a sunlit fairway.
The job this site is named after: read the hole, hand over the club, carry no inventory. PattayaPatrol via Wikimedia Commons. CC BY-SA 4.0.

Why this exists

Search "golf simulator cost" and page one is sellers, Carl's Place, Shop Indoor Golf, TruGolf, each pointing you toward their own bundle. That's not neutral advice; it's a storefront wearing a review's clothes. A home golf simulator is a $1,000-$30,000-plus purchase with a dozen interacting parts. It deserves an advisor with no inventory to move.

Editorial standard

  • Every component price is checked against a vendor or major-retailer listing and dated. See each page's "priced on" stamp.
  • We rank components on merit, accuracy, indoor fit, real ownership cost, never on affiliate payout. Read our editorial independence policy.
  • Prices are static, reviewed on a cadence, not a live feed. Golf-sim gear moves fast; stale numbers are a defect we correct.
  • Corrections and tips welcome via email and acknowledged when a page is updated.
