About daily use
How much noise does it make?
The sound of a golf simulator mainly comes from the ball hitting the impact screen. This is comparable to a firm hit on a cushion. In a garage or basement, this usually does not pose a problem. In an apartment, we recommend taking this into account in advance.
Can multiple people play at the same time?
Yes. The GolfJoy software supports multiplayer, both locally and online. You can take turns on the same simulator or play against others over the network.
Is it suitable for children?
Absolutely. The minigames and user-friendly interface make it accessible for all ages. Golf is a sport you can enjoy together, and with a home simulator, children can discover the game in an approachable way.
How do I maintain my system?
GolfJoy systems are designed for daily use and require minimal maintenance. Keep the cameras clean, replace the hitting mat when it is worn, and install software updates. If you have any questions, you can always contact our support team.
