The Net Return Golf Net

Every Net Return size uses the same patented S-Shape design in the netting. It absorbs the ball's impact and redirects it downward and forward — rolling gently back to your feet. It works automatically with no springs, levers, or moving parts. For the ball to roll cleanly back, hit from a hitting mat or firm surface in front of the net (carpet or grass can interrupt the roll). Most golfers pair their net with a Pro Turf hitting mat for a complete setup.

Start with your ceiling height, then match the width to your hitting area. The Home (7'x7') fits most garages and basements. The Pro (8'x7.5') is our most popular size for dedicated sim rooms. The Pro 9, Pro 10, and Pro XL are for larger rooms, teaching studios, or commercial use where you want extra margin on off-center strikes. The Mini (5'x6') and Junior (4.5'x4.5') are great for tight spaces and kids. If you are unsure, call us at 1-888-871-6110 — we will measure your room with you.

Yes. Every Net Return size uses UV-treated polyester netting and an aluminum frame engineered for indoor or outdoor use. For maximum net life, take it down in sustained winds over 20 MPH and store it in the included duffle bag when not in use. Many customers leave theirs set up for the full golf season and pack it away for winter — expect years of outdoor service with basic care.

Every size — Junior through Pro XL — is rated for ball speeds up to 225 MPH, faster than any amateur swing and most tour professionals. Full drivers, wedges, irons, and range balls are all safe. Hit with real golf balls, not practice foam or plastic, so the auto ball return works correctly.

Under 5 minutes for one person, and no tools are needed. The patented Quick Color Connect System matches each pole to a color-coded connector — align, push the stainless steel button, lock. Slide the sleeved net over the frame and you are hitting. Breaking it down is just as fast, and the whole net packs into the included duffle bag for storage or transport.

Yes. Every Net Return size is designed for golf, soccer, baseball, softball, and lacrosse. The frame and netting handle the impact of all common ball types — it is one reason families love them. The auto ball return works best with golf balls, but the net stops everything you can throw or hit at it.

If you are practicing indoors, in a garage, or near anything breakable, yes — side barriers are strongly recommended to catch mishit shots that would otherwise leave the hitting zone. The Universal Side Barriers attach via velcro to the net's built-in side wings in seconds. Outdoors in an open field, they are optional but still help with wind drift and off-center strikes.

You get the net, aluminum frame, stainless steel hardware, carry duffle bag, and instruction manual. Side barriers, No Fly Zone extensions, and hitting mats are sold separately. We can bundle them for you — call 1-888-871-6110 or view our Home and Pro Packages.

Yes. The Home Flex Screen and Pro Flex Screen attach to the net with velcro and turn it into a full golf simulator. Pair with a projector and a launch monitor to complete the build. Many customers buy the net first and add the screen later.

For most home golfers, the Home (7'W x 7'H) or Pro (8'W x 7.5'H) Net Return are the best choices. They fit standard 8-foot ceilings in garages and basements, handle full driver speed up to 225 MPH, and pack away in minutes. If you have a 9- or 10-foot ceiling and more room, move up to the Pro 9, Pro 10, or Pro XL for extra margin on off-center strikes. The patented auto ball return is the biggest quality-of-life feature — you practice longer because you are not constantly chasing balls.

Yes. Every Net Return size is rated for ball speeds up to 225 MPH, which is faster than any amateur driver swing and most tour pros. The commercial-grade polyester netting and aluminum frame absorb driver impact without bounce-back. For safety margin on wild drives, taller golfers should pick the Pro (7.5'H), Pro 8 (8'H), or taller, and add Universal Side Barriers if practicing indoors.

Plan for 10 feet of depth minimum (8 to 10 feet from the ball to the net plus 2 feet behind you for swing), the net's frame width, and enough ceiling to clear your driver follow-through. As a rule: ceiling height at least 6 inches above the net height. The Home (7'H) fits most 7.5-8 foot ceilings. The Pro XL (9.5'H) needs a 10-foot ceiling. Add a hitting mat in front of the net and leave 1-2 feet of roll-out space so the auto ball return can roll the ball back to your feet.

No — The Net Return's patented S-Shape design absorbs impact gradually instead of stopping the ball abruptly. That means your golf balls hold up for years of practice without scuffs, cracks, or cover damage. The gentle auto ball return also means no hard ricochet or bounce-back that damages other equipment. Use real golf balls (not foam or plastic practice balls) for the auto return to work correctly.
