How to Set Up Your Carl’s Place Pro Golf Enclosure Package (Step-by-Step Guide)

So, you’ve just ordered your Carl’s Place Pro Golf Enclosure Package from PlayBetter.com — congrats! You're one step closer to a commercial-grade golf simulator setup that turns your space into a world-class hitting bay. While the full instruction manual and video walkthrough are your go-to resources, we’ve created this guide to help you get set up faster—and without second-guessing yourself.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

• Your full enclosure kit (pipes, fittings, premium screen, ballistic-grade nylon, bungees, foam inserts, curtains, etc.)

• A large enough space cleared (check the size you selected!)

• At least one helper—this is a big enclosure and some steps require a second set of hands

• A rubber mallet, measuring tape, step ladder, and level

Instruction Manual & Walkthrough Video

Use the official Pro Series instruction manual and this full build video as references while working through each step.

Step 1: Assemble the Frame

🧱 Start from the bottom

Lay out the floor footprint using the labeled steel pipe sections. Use the corner and T-connectors to build the rectangular base.

📏 Build up

Add vertical poles to each corner, then connect the top bars to complete the frame structure. This gives you the sturdy skeleton of your Pro enclosure.

🔧 Tip

Use a rubber mallet or dead blow hammer to ensure all pipe connections are tight and flush—this keeps the frame square and rock solid.

Step 2: Attach the Impact Screen

🪝 Center the screen

Align the premium impact screen with the front of the frame. It should be flush with the sides and have even spacing on all edges.

💥 Bungee in place

Use the included ball bungees to secure the screen through the grommets. Begin at the top center, then alternate side-to-side working outward for balanced tension.

📌 Pro Tip

You want firm tension but not excessive pull—just enough to absorb ball strikes without puckering or overstretching.

Step 3: Install Side & Ceiling Panels

🖤 Hang the ballistic nylon

Drape the heavy-duty black side and ceiling panels over the top crossbars and attach via the hook-and-loop strips.

🔒 Fasten all seams

Use the integrated hook-and-loop flaps to secure corners and side panels together for full enclosure coverage.

💡 Lighting tip

These panels help control ambient light and boost image quality from your projector.

Step 4: Add the Curtain System

🎭 Mount the track

Your enclosure comes with a curtain track system for additional protection. Install the included hardware to the ceiling of the frame per the manual.

🧵 Hang the curtain

Slide the blackout curtain onto the track and ensure it extends fully across the hitting area. This acts as an extra buffer for stray shots.

🛡️ Curtain bonus

It also helps control light and sound, making your setup feel more immersive.

Step 5: Optional Accessories

🧩 Foam Insert Kit

Slides 18–20 in this presentation show how to install the foam panels around your screen’s border. These absorb mishits and provide a polished, finished edge.

🔙 Back Cover Kit

Complete the enclosure with a rear cover and optional piping to fully contain your simulator space—perfect for garages or well-lit rooms.

Step 6: Final Checks

✅ Make sure:

• All pipe connections are flush and secure

• The screen is evenly tensioned

• The nylon panels are properly aligned and sealed

• Foam, curtains, and back cover are installed (if applicable)

🎯 You’re now ready to finish your build with a hitting mat, projector, and launch monitor!
