How to Design and Furnish a Golf Simulator Facility for Maximum Space Efficiency and Comfort
When facility owners or managers take on the challenge of creating or upgrading a golf simulator space, one of the first questions that arises is how to make the area both functional and inviting. Many start with the traditional approach — using residential furniture, like oversized couches and coffee tables — only to discover later that these choices fail to support the space’s unique requirements.
Golf simulator lounges are high-traffic, high-engagement environments where players come not just to practice their swing, but to socialize, dine, and relax. Choosing the wrong furniture can make even a premium setup feel cluttered, inefficient, and underwhelming.
“We often see clients who begin their design process with the idea of just filling the room with home furniture,” says Jennifer Perez, Office Manager at Modern Line Furniture. “It may look nice at first glance, but it rarely functions well for commercial use. That’s where we come in — to show how golf furniture should enhance the space, not just occupy it.”
From Residential Chaos to Commercial Harmony
At Modern Line Furniture, we specialize in helping golf facility owners, simulator studios, and entertainment venues achieve the perfect balance between style, comfort, and practicality. Residential furniture, while comfortable, isn’t engineered for the durability, layout flexibility, or spatial efficiency that commercial setups demand.
Instead of bulky sectionals or mismatched sofas, a professional layout starts with strategically planned booth seating and modular elements that create defined zones for eating, relaxing, and watching the game.
You can explore our dedicated Golf Furniture Collection for a range of tailored solutions that transform simple spaces into fully functional, guest-friendly venues.
The Smart Layout Formula: Booths + Communal Tables
The secret to maximizing any golf simulator lounge lies in combining comfort and flow. Jennifer explains:
“The booth seating should cover just enough of the area to give people privacy without isolating them. We typically recommend 4-seater booths arranged in a straight line, like our Maple Laminate Booths, to maintain balance and clean symmetry.”
Our handcrafted Restaurant Booths are designed precisely for this purpose. With high-performance vinyls, heavy-duty frames, and customizable colors, they offer a perfect combination of durability and design appeal.
Behind these booths, you can install communal tables — a Modern Line Furniture signature feature. These long, narrow tables fit seamlessly against booth backs, ensuring that no space is wasted. Guests can dine, work on laptops, or enjoy a drink while others play nearby.
Explore our 8' Communal Bar Table — handcrafted in the USA and available with optional power outlets — ideal for simulator venues where guests stay for extended sessions.
Pairing the tables with commercial bar stools keeps the design cohesive and ensures maximum seat count within minimal square footage. The result? A uniform, practical, and upscale look that’s easy to maintain and built to last.
A Unified Look with Durable Finishes
Visual consistency is critical for brand identity — especially in entertainment or golf simulator environments that host corporate events, leagues, or private groups. Using a consistent wood color laminate finish throughout the furniture ties the space together and conveys a sense of refinement.
Modern Line Furniture offers a broad range of Formica and Wilsonart Laminates to help designers and owners achieve the perfect balance of color, texture, and durability. Whether you’re going for a rustic oak, maple, or contemporary charcoal tone, our finishes ensure a long-lasting, scratch-resistant surface that withstands constant use.
“When clients reach out to us early in their design process,” Jennifer adds, “we help them plan layouts that blend visual harmony and functional flow — so every inch of their simulator space works for them, not against them.”
