Carl's Place

The DIY golf-room backbone, screens and enclosures.

Carl's Place is the build-it-yourself heart of the golf bay. It started in 2006 when founder Carl wanted to project a video game onto the side of a barn, built his own screen, and discovered real demand for high-quality projection and impact surfaces. Today, from Milton, Wisconsin, it's a leading source for the room around your launch monitor: impact screens, enclosures and complete simulator packages. The honest take: Carl's Place is where you spend the rest of your budget once you've chosen a sensor. Its DIY Enclosure Kit pairs a full-length impact screen with a durable nylon enclosure and engineered bounceback control (releasable zip ties, a weighted bottom cable, a no-border bottom), letting you self-build an immersive bay so more money goes to the launch monitor. Its in-house SIGPRO Premium impact screen, a MyGolfSpy testing winner, uses three-layer spacer-mesh fabric about 3.5 inches thick for a crisp 4K image with low noise and bounceback, beating leading competitors in independent testing. The honest caveats are that the base enclosure needs framing (or the add-on pipe kit) and premium screens carry a premium price, but for DIY builders the value is excellent.

// Ecosystem
Sensor-agnostic room hardware (screens, enclosures, framing kits) that works with any launch monitor; DIY assembly required and the base enclosure needs your own structure or the optional pipe-framing kit.

Who it's for: DIY builders who want to spend launch-monitor money on the sensor and self-build an immersive, low-bounceback enclosed bay.

Carl's Place — common questions

Does the Carl's Place DIY kit include framing?
The base kit includes the impact screen, nylon enclosure and connector hardware, but you supply the structure or add Carl's optional pipe-framing kit to build the frame.
Does a premium impact screen really give a sharper image?
Yes. The SIGPRO Premium's tightly woven three-layer spacer mesh renders crisp 4K projection with no pixelation or grain, and independent MyGolfSpy testing rated it best for image quality, sound and bounceback.
Does Carl's Place gear work with any launch monitor?
Yes. Screens and enclosures are sensor-agnostic, so they pair with any launch monitor; you choose your sensor separately and build the room around it.
