How to Rent Your Golf Simulator: A Step-by-Step Guide to Renting Successfully
Renting out your golf simulator can be a fantastic way to earn extra income, but it’s not just about posting an ad and waiting for responses. To create a steady stream of renters and ensure a smooth, long-term rental experience, there are key factors you’ll want to consider—everything from pricing and platform selection to risk management and community building.
1. Choosing the Right Platform to Rent Your Golf Simulator
While options like Facebook Marketplace may help you get started, managing your golf simulator rental through a dedicated platform is essential for long-term success. Specialized golf simulator rental marketplaces are popping up, but they may lack the tools you need to build something consistent and sustainable.
That’s where Neighborhood National (NN) stands out. With our integrated approach, you’ll be able to manage everything from bookings and payments to communication and marketing—since we take care of it all. This simplicity makes it easier for you to focus on delivering a great experience for your renters while growing your club, and while you have a day job.
2. How to Price Your Golf Simulator Rental
Pricing plays a crucial role in setting the expectations for your rental business. If you price by the hour, it may attract customers who are looking for a quick, transactional experience. And high rates can lead to high demands and potential frustrations with service quality.
Alternatively, you might consider an affordable membership-based pricing model, to encourage respect for your space and foster a longer-term commitment to the club. At NN, we help simplify pricing with a flat-rate membership model that ensures consistent income while building a community atmosphere.
3. Managing Bookings, Payments, and Promotions
Running a golf simulator rental business takes more than just setting the price. You’ll need to manage bookings, payments, and promote your space to attract renters. This can be time-consuming, and without the right tools, it’s easy to become overwhelmed.
NN’s support wraps everything here into a single experience managed for you. From automated booking confirmations to managing marketing.
4. Mitigating Risk: Insurance and Property Protection
While renting out your golf simulator can be a profitable venture, it also comes with risks—whether it’s damage to your property or dealing with difficult renters. Setting up an LLC and ensuring you have proper insurance coverage is essential to protect your investment.
At NN, we’ve worked with experts to create a custom insurance policy that’s specifically tailored to the needs of golf simulator owners. We’ll guide you through setting up your LLC and can help coordinate your insurance setup to give you peace of mind while renting your space. Additionally, all members are background-checked before they’re accepted, providing an added layer of comfort for everyone.
5. Building a Community Around Your Golf Simulator
One of the biggest benefits of renting out your golf simulator through NN is the opportunity to build a strong, engaged community. Unlike other platforms that are transactional by nature, NN fosters a culture of respect and trust. Members are actively engaged, ensuring that your space is respected and cared for by those who use it.
This community-driven approach means that, over time, managing your rental becomes more passive. Your members take care of the space for you—helping you mitigate risks, maintain high standards, and ensure that everyone follows the rules. You have to spend less time overseeing and cleaning up after folk, and you get to spend more time enjoying the space yourself alongside the friends that you’re making.
At NN, we help build a culture where the passive management isn't just a promise, but a reality driven by engaged, responsible members who value your space as much as you do.

Renting your golf simulator is a great way to earn income. It’s not complicated to do, but depending on your interests and concerns there are certainly factors to consider. From choosing the right platform and pricing model to managing bookings and building a community, NN offers everything you need to create a sustainable, that can largely manage itself while also paying for itself and then a little more.
