Turn your house or your yard into a golf course.

The Par-Tee Putt Crate is the indoor entry level and it is putting only: six light-up LED target holes, three real putting green turf mats in different sizes, six putters, glow balls, and a glow-in-the-dark obstacle kit with ramp wedges, tunnels, high ramps, hazard posts, and a loop so you can build your own course through the house. The Backyard Tournament Crate moves outside and adds full swings: a 10 ft by 7 ft driving net with a 4-target system, hitting mats, two chipping mats, a chipping target, foam practice balls, light-up LED target holes for the yard, and a Garmin R10 paired to an iPad so you can see your swing numbers after every shot. The Premium Projected Simulator Crate uses that same Garmin R10, but adds the projector and impact screen, which is what lets you actually play full courses from around the world instead of just reading your data.

Great question, and it is the most common one we get. Both crates use the same Garmin R10 launch monitor, so both give you real swing data: ball speed, carry distance, launch angle, and club head speed. The difference is what you are looking at when you swing.

With the Backyard Tournament Crate, the R10 pairs to an iPad and your numbers show up on the tablet after each shot. You are hitting into the driving net and aiming at its four physical targets, so it is real golf practice with real feedback, and the competition comes from the target scoring and the tournament formats on the game cards.

With the Premium Projected Simulator Crate, the projector and impact screen put an actual golf course on the wall in front of you. You pick a famous course, watch your ball fly down the fairway in real time, and play it hole by hole. That projector, impact screen, premium hitting mat, and safety netting are the difference in price, and they are the reason it has to be indoors with controlled lighting.

Short version: the Tournament Crate tells you how you swung, and the Simulator Crate lets you play the course.

The Par-Tee Putt Crate and the Backyard Tournament Crate are both built for all ages. Putting is easy enough for little kids and competitive enough for adults, and the tournament formats on the game idea cards scale either direction. The Premium Projected Simulator Crate is best for teens and adults, and younger kids can absolutely play with a grown-up helping them in the swing zone. A responsible adult should supervise any full swings.

Yes, and it is one of our favorite things about the Par-Tee Putt Crate. It is putting only, so there are no full swings indoors. The three putting greens and the LED holes can be spread through different rooms and hallways to build a course, and hard floors and low-pile carpet putt best. Turn the lights down, switch to the glow balls, and the course lights up for night play.

You lay out 3 greens at a time, which gives you a 3 hole course. Everyone plays those 3 holes, then you move the greens and the glow obstacles into 3 completely new holes and play again. Two rebuilds gets you to 9 holes and five gets you to a full 18, and because the obstacle kit rearranges every time, no two holes have to play the same. Rebuilding is part of the fun, and the kids usually take it over and start designing holes themselves. The greens are all the same width, so you can also chain two together into one long hole when you want a tougher putt.

The driving net is 10 ft by 7 ft and hitters stand about 8 to 10 ft back from it, so plan on a clear stretch of yard roughly 20 ft deep behind the net position, plus room to the sides. The putting course is flexible and can wrap around the yard however you like. The practice putting mat needs a flat surface such as a patio or deck. Tell us your yard dimensions in your quote request and we will let you know if it is a fit.

Six putters come in every golf crate. Full-length golf clubs are included upon request with the Backyard Tournament Crate, so just mention it when you request your quote and we will confirm availability for your date. The Premium Projected Simulator Crate includes clubs as part of the setup.

This is why the crates are set up the way they are. Indoors the Par-Tee Putt Crate is putting only, so balls stay on the floor. Outdoors, the rule we call the Golden Ball Rule is simple: foam practice balls only for full-speed swings, and real balls only for slow chipping into the target. The driving net catches the foam balls, and the safety card in the crate walks through swing zones and setup distances. Follow the card, keep spectators behind the hitter, and point the net away from windows and neighbors.

It needs roughly 9.5 to 10 ft of ceiling clearance and enough room for a safe swing radius, so basements, garages, and bonus rooms are usually the best candidates. It is indoor only because the projector and screen need controlled lighting. Every Simulator Crate booking includes a required SPP setup and tech check visit, and we confirm your ceiling height and swing space before we lock in the date.

The LED target holes and the glow balls run on batteries, and spare batteries come in the tools and spares bag. The Par-Tee Putt Crate includes two practice putting mats and one of them plugs into a single standard outlet. The Backyard Tournament Crate uses the manual mat that returns the ball on its own, so no outlet is needed for the golf gear, and we set up the Garmin R10 and iPad on site for you. The Premium Projected Simulator Crate does need power for the launch monitor and projector.

The Par-Tee Putt and Backyard Tournament crates are ready-to-host: we deliver, you set up the course using the included step-by-step guides, and we pick everything up afterward. With the Backyard Tournament Crate we do set up the Garmin R10 and iPad on site so the shot tracking is ready to go when you are. The Premium Projected Simulator Crate always includes an SPP setup and tech check visit, because the screen, projector, and netting need to be positioned correctly.

Absolutely, and the crates are built for it. The LED target holes light up, the glow-in-the-dark golf balls glow, and the Par-Tee Putt Crate adds a glow-in-the-dark obstacle kit of ramp wedges, tunnels, high ramps, hazard posts, and a loop, plus a UV flashlight to recharge the glow between rounds. Glow Night Putt is one of the game formats on the included game idea cards.
