If you are shopping for a retractable golf simulator screen, you will find HomeCourse first. It is the best known name in the category and most of the big indoor golf retailers carry it. We sell a competing product, so read this page accordingly: we have an interest in what you decide. What we can do is put the specifications side by side, tell you where HomeCourse is the better buy, and show you the other alternatives worth pricing.
HomeCourse's current model is the ProScreen 180. The older HomeCourse Pro is still listed by some dealers. Both are covered below.
The short version
The ProScreen 180 is battery powered, needs no outlet, and has fold-out side nets and a top net in the box. The Home Fairway is wider and taller, and its two side screens are motorized and retract into the ceiling with the main screen. If your ceiling is around 8 ft 6 in and you want a single, simple size, HomeCourse is a sensible choice. If you have 9 ft or more, want a wider sim, or want the whole enclosure to disappear at the press of a button, that is the gap we fill.

Where HomeCourse is the better buy
It does not need an outlet. The battery is a real advantage. If the only place your screen can mount is nowhere near power, HomeCourse solves a problem we do not. Each of our three motorized screens has its own 120V plug-in power lead.
It fits a lower room. HomeCourse lists 8 ft 6 in as the minimum height. Under about 8 ft 6 in, it is built for exactly that room, and we would not try to talk you out of it.
The entry price is lower. $2,299 against $2,399 for our smallest size and $2,899 for the Fairway 12.
It is a known quantity. It has been on the market for years, with plenty of owner reviews to read. We are newer. You should weigh that.
Where we are different
The sides retract too. HomeCourse's arms fold out and back by hand. Ours are two motorized side screens up to 8 ft deep that come down and go up on the same remote as the main screen, so the whole sim disappears together.
Deeper side protection. Our 8 ft side screens run 100 1/2 in toward the golfer, bracket to bracket. HomeCourse's Pro Arms are 3 ft.
Height. The ProScreen 180 is an 8 ft high screen. Ours drop up to 10 ft with no seam on every size, and longer on request. If you have a basement or garage with real height, an 8 ft screen leaves the top of the wall unprotected.
You pick the width. Five sizes, 8 through 16 ft, so you match the room instead of working around one size. A wider sim also lets a right-handed and a left-handed golfer share one setup.
Warranty. 2-year limited on the motors, electronics, remote and hardware, against HomeCourse's 1 year.
What about the HomeCourse Pro?
The older HomeCourse Pro is not listed on HomeCourse's own site. Dealers still list it at about $1,995: a 10.6 ft wide by 8 ft high screen, battery powered, about 13 ft 8 in wide with its arms extended. Dealer descriptions disagree on whether the side netting is included, so ask the seller before you compare it on price.
Other HomeCourse alternatives
These are list prices from each maker's own site, read October 3, 2026.
| System | Price | Side protection | Worth a look if |

| G-TRAK | $1,999.99 to $2,999.99, by door and screen size | Impact screen; no side screens listed by the maker | You want the screen to hang from your garage door tracks |
| Another vendor's retractable system | About $2,699 to $5,581, configured | Optional | You need a custom width in small steps |
| The Home Fairway | $2,399 to $3,449 | Included: two motorized side screens up to 8 ft deep | You want the whole sim motorized and gone when you are done |
When you compare, price the same sim: a screen-only price looks lower until you add side protection. Our retractable screen comparison goes system by system.
How to decide
Measure your ceiling first, because that decides more than anything on this page. Under about 8 ft 6 in, HomeCourse is built for your room. At 9 ft or more, an 8 ft screen does not use the space you have, and you should at least price the alternatives.
Our sizing guide walks through the three measurements that matter. Send us your room dimensions and we will tell you what fits, including telling you when the answer is not us.
See the Fairway 12, compare the five sizes, or read why we went retractable.
