Full Review
Carl's Place is the go-to screen brand for home golf simulator builders. They manufacture in Wisconsin and have been the dominant player in the impact screen market since the home simulator boom started in 2019. The material absorbs impact well, bounces the ball back safely, and provides a bright projection surface. Carl's Place offers multiple materials at different price points: the standard DIY screen, the Pro screen (brighter image, better absorption), and the Golf Simulator Preferred material (highest quality). Sizes run from 9x6 feet up to 14x10 feet. They sell screens in three configurations: the raw screen material, a screen with grommets for DIY hanging, or a complete enclosure package.
