'''A golf simulator''' is an umbrella term referring to a graphically or photographically simulated driving range or golf course, usually in an indoor setting. In some cases, based on the location of the sensing devices, it is possible to capture data on both ball and club for most accurate speed and directional information, and simulated ball flight behavior.{{cite web|title=The Ultimate Guide to Choosing an Indoor Golf Simulator|url=https://golfvx.com/2024/12/13/the-ultimate-guide-to-choosing-an-indoor-golf-simulator/|work=Golf VX|date=13 December 2024 |publisher=Golf VX|access-date=25 April 2025}}

The data about a golfer's swing that is collected during a golf shot is extrapolated to provide ball flight trajectory and roll out according to certain calculated relationships to the ball's flight performance per the tracked motion of the ball or club, adding environmental aspects through which the ball is projected, including terrain, wind, rain and other such influences or obstacles. Also noted on specific height and width of the screen on the net.{{Cite web |title=Understanding Golf Simulator Data: Metrics You Need to Know |url=https://golfindoornearme.com/blog/golf-simulator-data-guide/ |access-date=2025-11-26 |website=Golf Indoor Near You |language=en}}
