    Average player friendly courses

    Does anybody rent out their Sim?..
    If so.. can you give me some courses that are player-friendly for the average golfer?

    I've thought about it... how much would you rent for? Is it by the hour? My wife has mostly nixed the idea, even though mine is in an outbuilding away from our house... Seems it would be a good way to make some money back on the build, that's for sure...

      Don't forget to take into account liability if someone gets hurt on your premises. Not sure if homeowners would cover you if it was someone who was paying you, i.e your now a business

        Feel like some definition of "user friendly" is needed here.

        Are we talking a par 3 course, like at Bandon Dunes? A pitch-and-putt? Anything <6500y from the tips?

      Looking for a scenic 18-hole courses.. no long carries over water. Courses that an average mid to high handicapper can play without getting frustrated. The more you can name the better ..thanks for your help! Specific to tgc2019

        I can't give you a specific TGC example since I don't use it, but Pebble Beach is fine from the forward tees and the view is great. The only hole I can think of that might be tricky is #7 but it's short and as long as you turn off wind and don't hit it too long, it's a pretty straightforward par 3.

        Edit: Come to think of it, most famous links courses would be fine from forward tees with wind disabled, since there are few trees, people can hit worm burners a mile and putt from the fairway. Consider Carnoustie, Muirfield, Cabot Links, Pinehurst, the Old Course at St Andrews and Bandon Dunes.

        Should get you started.

            Mcoop:
            I play with my friends on my Protee simulator and TGC. In TGC, click Local Match, then Change Course, click More Filters in the next screen and then scroll down until you will see difficulty levels ranging from easiest to hardest. Click on the difficulty you want. Courses will be displayed. Right click on a course and then on scorecard. For higher handicap players I find courses with multiple tees and one with a distance of 6000 yards, 72 holes, or lower make it much more enjoyable for the higher handicap players.. You can then favorite the ones you like.

                Does anybody know if the mevo Plus should only run on battery during matches instead of being plugged in all the time? My red armed and ready light is dropping out later in the game... This seems to happen when the mevo is plugged in throughout the match... It's been suggested that the unit gets overheated when plugged in when in use for long periods of time.
                Anybody else having this problem?

                  I was recently in Florida and went to an indoor simulator... The impact screens they were using seemed to be made out of a white felt material... These worked great as a ball would drop straight to the ground. Has anyone heard of these or know how to get them?

                    Might get more information if you post this in the “enclosures and screens” sub forum of the “build your own” section
