Hey All,
Been lurking for a while now reading as much as I could about sims. I've convinced myself I need one of these in my life.
I've got a pretty good space in the room above my garage I think.... 15.5' wide, 21.5' long, 8.25' high. The room is finished right now, but I plan on renovating it completely and taking out the ceiling. There's a slanted ceiling above this room, so I'm hoping by taking away the drywall ceiling and implementing some other ceiling solution, I'll be able to get around 11' of height to play with.
That being said....I want an elite simulator that best fits my needs and wants listed below. So taking all of this in, what would you suggest or could you help steer me in a particular direction? And also, is the difference between a $20k system and a $60k system that noticeable? Would love to hear some opinions of the high end
General Uses:
- US Based - Georgia
- Fun (prob #1 use)
- Practicing
- Online Tournament play
- Indoor only
Features I'm Possibly Interested In:
- Must support local multiplayer
- Ideally multiple tee boxes
- Should support online tournament play
- Movable hitting plate
- Curved screen
- Try to make it as immersive as possible (feel like you're in the course, crisp graphics, big screen)
- Possibly multisport...are the other sports any good on the systems that have them?
- Good putting support
- How does the rough/sand hitting surface feel on Golfzon? Is it worth it?
- How do you all feel about upgradability? I'm a little scared to buy super high end if it's going to be worthless in ~5-8 years...what do you all think?
- Open or closed system in terms of software? If closed, do you ever worry that you'll get bored with a limited set of courses?
- I'd like to have something with fun golf minigames
Thanks for any advice you can give to someone just getting into this! I've got a guy that owns a home theater company company over to look at my space along with a builder. The home theatre company works with HD Golf, but I'm totally open to going in a different direction if there is a better system out there.
