Introduction
If you’re thinking about a golf simulator for your home or business, the most common question we hear has nothing to do with cameras or screens. It’s much simpler: “What would we actually play on it?”
It’s a great question, because the software is what you’ll enjoy every day. At Aguila Performance, every system we install can include a full menu of famous courses, practice tools, and family games. Whether you want the best indoor golf experience at home or an entertainment attraction for your venue, here’s what’s really on offer.
What golf courses can you play on a simulator?
More than most people expect.
Our Foresight simulators, for example, run Foresight Sports’ FSX software, which includes around 20 courses as standard and gives you access to a library of more than 300. That includes famous names like Pebble Beach, the Old Course at St Andrews, and Pinehurst No. 2.
These are not rough copies. Premium courses are mapped using drone surveys accurate to within centimetres, then displayed in 4K, so every slope and bunker behaves the way it does in real life.
You also choose exactly how you play:
- Stroke play, scramble, or match play for up to four players
- Different tee positions, wind, and weather conditions
- Driving ranges and short-game practice greens
- Skills challenges and performance tests
- Online competitions against players around the world
What if someone has never played golf before?
This is where the mini-games come in.
Every Foresight installation includes Foresight Fairgrounds, a collection of carnival-style games that need no golf knowledge at all:
- Golf Darts – chip your ball at a giant dartboard on the screen
- Bowling – putt to knock down ten pins
- Putt Skee – classic skee ball, played with a putter
- Balloon Pop, Shooting Gallery, and Splash Wall – simple aim-and-score fun
- Zombie Golf – hold off the approaching zombies, one chip shot at a time
The clever part is that every game is built around chipping and putting. Children and complete beginners are quietly learning real golf skills while they think they’re just playing. It’s why a nine-year-old and an experienced golfer can happily share the same bay all afternoon.
Our TruGolf solutions also offer a fantastic suite of family fun games, from football to basketball.
Will the whole family actually use it at home?
In our experience, yes – because it never belongs to just one person.
An early practice session before work, the kids’ bowling tournament after school, a closest-to-the-pin contest when friends visit at the weekend: one room, completely different evenings. If you’re wondering whether a non-golfing partner will ever use it, Fairgrounds is usually what wins them over.
Many of our Signature Concept designs also double as a home cinema, so movie night and golf night share the same screen. During a Dubai summer, an indoor space the whole household enjoys earns its place very quickly.
Why does game variety matter for a commercial golf simulator?
Because variety is what brings customers back.
Casual guests come for the mini-games. Golfers come for the championship courses. Groups come for everything in between – nearest-the-pin and longest-drive contests, team scrambles, and live leaderboards that add a little friendly pressure.
That mix is why the best indoor golf venues stay busy even midweek. A single bay can host a children’s party in the morning, coaching in the afternoon, and a corporate event in the evening, with food and drink orders running the whole way through. Our commercial golf simulator installations are planned around exactly this, from the space and technology to the event formats that suit your customers.

It depends on the technology you opt for. FSX software includes around 20 courses as standard, with a library of over 300 available – including Pebble Beach and the Old Course at St Andrews.
2. Can non-golfers enjoy a golf simulator?

3. What can guests play on a commercial golf simulator?
Everything from full championship rounds to quick contests like nearest the pin and longest drive, plus tournaments with live leaderboards and mini-games for casual visitors.
4. Are the simulator games suitable for children?
