Golf Hitting Nets
GoSports Range Cage (10x8) Review
A 10x8 ft net cage with sides and a roof. The cheapest way to hit safely in a garage, and a good base for a budget simulator setup later.
Quick answer: The GoSports Range Cage is the best budget net for garages: around $300 for a 10x8 ft cage with side nets and roof, so mishits stay inside.
Quick Summary
Pros
- +Side nets and roof keep mishits inside
- +Around $300, far cheaper than a simulator enclosure
- +Good base for a launch monitor setup
- +Works indoors and outdoors
Cons
- −First assembly takes longer than pop-up nets
- −Takes up a 10 x 8 ft footprint permanently
- −Not designed as a projector screen
Full Review
A flat net is fine in an open backyard, but in a garage the side protection matters. The GoSports Range Cage boxes in your hitting area with a back net, side nets and a top, so toe and heel shots stay inside. At around $300 it costs a third of a proper simulator enclosure. Many people pair it with a launch monitor like the Garmin R10 and play simulator software on a tablet or TV before they invest in a screen and projector. Ratings are a bit lower than the flat nets, mostly about assembly time, so plan on an hour to put it up the first time.

Who Is This For?
The best value net for a garage. If you hit indoors, spend the extra $200 over a flat net for the side protection.
