Golfing fun can be had at home! A small or medium sized shed would be ideal for storing golf equipment and a 2-person golf cart. A larger one—perhaps even a garage—would be great for housing an indoor driving range and putting course. Imagine being able to play golf all year round, even in the winter and on rainy days!
As a bonus, depending on the size of the shed you're considering, it could serve a dual purpose as a Man Cave (or She Shed, right ladies?).
Read on to discover how a shed can be used for golf equipment storage, golf cart storage, and year-round indoor golf practice.
Having a shed gives you a simple storage solution with many options. You can organize your shed so that all of your golfing gear has its own place.
Make a golf locker, build custom shelves, or buy standard shelving to organize your clubs, baskets of balls, tees, ball markers, towels, gloves, and shoes so that they're easy to find and load into your golf bag whenever you are ready to hit the course.
Depending on how much equipment you have, you could get away with a smaller shed that's 8x10 foot. However, if you wish to use your shed for golf cart storage or indoor practice, you have more to consider.
If you own a cart, keep it safe from the elements and intruders by storing it in a golf shed along with your other game equipment.
If you have an electric powered golf cart, you can set up a convenient charging station to be sure that it is ready to go whenever you need it. Or you can easily store supplies for your gas powered golf cart.
You could easily store all of your gear along with your cart in a 10x12 foot shed. Add a ramp and an overhead garage door for easy access.
Practice putting and driving—inside! Here are some options for your golf shed.
Putting
Improving your putting makes it much easier to reach your scoring objectives, whether that means breaking 90 or breaking 75. During the long, cold winter months or on rainy days when you can't get out to play, develop a regular game-improvement routine that includes exercises such as stretching and plenty of putting practice.
Here are two examples of indoor putting options. The first is the Kick-Back Putt Cup by Callaway and the second is the Indoor Golf Training Mat by OUTAD.
Full range golfing
For driving practice, an indoor range is needed. For this, try a golf simulator like the ones Spectrum Golf makes. There's a wide range of options out there, so take your time in researching which ones meet your needs and fit your budget.
The team at Spectrum Golf suggests that you consider these things when looking for an home golf simulator.
