Most golf simulator build threads jump straight to gear (which launch monitor, which screen) before anyone has actually measured the room. If you're planning a build, these three resources are worth a look before you buy anything:
Carl's Place publishes detailed golf simulator room design galleries covering garage, basement, and shed builds, with real photos of finished enclosures and screen setups.
Trackman's simulator room guide breaks layouts down by budget tier and room type, which is the most useful framing if you're not sure whether your space can even fit a full swing.
Golf Simulator Hub's setup ideas guide covers the same budget-tier and room-type breakdown but adds a cost table and a list of the five setup mistakes (screen placement, ceiling height, glare on the launch monitor) that actually ruin a build after the money is spent.
The short version: measure the ceiling height and the depth behind the ball before you fall in love with a photo of someone else's finished room. A 400 square foot dedicated golf room is not a template for a two-car garage.
