Launch Monitor
Choose your launch monitor by where it sits
The screen shows the shot; the launch monitor measures it. There are 22 launch monitors in the dropdown, and where a unit sits decides how much room it needs. The Net Return puts the room depth for this bay at 14 to 22 ft depending on the launch monitor, so pick the group that fits your room first, then the unit.

Impact Screen
The Net Return Floating Screen Simulator Bay floating screen
A tight screen sends the ball back at you. The Floating Screen Simulator Bay lets the polyester impact screen float inside the netted bay, which minimizes ball rebound, so the bay can be used in tighter, smaller spaces. The entire bay is covered in high-density netting, including behind the screen, with side barriers and rear and side black nylon valences.
- Lightweight, rugged 1.5" tubular aluminum frame
- Commercial grade, UV treated black polyester netting (not nylon)
- One person sets it up in under 45 minutes with push button Quick Color Connect assembly
- Works with any golf simulator software, and doubles as a big screen for movies, football and video games
Screen Widths
Three widths, one 9 ft ceiling
Wider means a bigger picture and more room for mishits. Every width stands 8'6" tall and 3'6" deep, needs a 9 ft ceiling and fits at 14 ft of room depth, with 18 ft for a full driver swing, and can sit 6" from a wall. Then confirm depth, including the projector mounting distance and your own swing room.
| Spec | 8' Wide | 10' Wide | 12' Wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Footprint | 8'W x 8'6"H x 3'6"D | 10'W x 8'6"H x 3'6"D | 12'W x 8'6"H x 3'6"D |
| Minimum room | 10'W x 9'H x 14'D | 12'W x 9'H x 14'D | 14'W x 9'H x 14'D |
*Note: Simulator Screen sales are final and no returns are accepted. The screen is white polyester fabric that can smudge or stain if handled improperly, so measure your space before ordering.
Hitting Mat
Hitting mat
The package ships with the Real Feel Country Club Elite Golf Mat, 5'W x 5'L. Its long, dense fibers let you swing down and through like a real fairway, and it takes a real wooden tee.
The Fiberbuilt 7'x4' Single-Hitting and 9'x4' Center-Hitting Studio Mats are engineered to give the same ball flight as a real grass fairway and virtually eliminate turf shock.
Three Fiberbuilt mats are one click away in the builder, or choose "I already have a mat" to remove it:
- Fiberbuilt Performance Turf Tee Box Mat, 8'W x 4'L: tee up anywhere on the mat with a real tee
- Fiberbuilt 7'x4' Grass Series Single-Hitting Studio Mat: 300,000-shot guarantee in a space-saving footprint
- Fiberbuilt 9'x4' Grass Series Center-Hitting Studio Mat: fits right- and left-handed players, 300,000-shot guarantee
Landing Pad
Optional: Tour Golf Landing Pad
The Tour Landing Pad cushions and quiets balls dropping off the screen, and keeps them from scuffing floors or rolling under it. It is not selected by default. Tick it and the builder adds the width that matches your screen:
- 9'W x 8'L for the 8' Wide screen
- 11'W x 8'L for the 10' Wide screen
- 13'W x 8'L for the 12' Wide screen
Projector
Projector and ceiling mount
The package includes the Optoma ZW350ST, a 0.521:1 short-throw projector with 3,600 lumens and a 30,000-hour DuraCore laser, so there is no bulb to replace. The ceiling mount is included.
Upgrades to 1080p and 4K BenQ short-throw projectors are available in the builder, and the ceiling mount switches to match the one you choose.
Computer
Optional: SurfThing gaming computer and touch screen
Windows simulation software such as GSPro needs a gaming-class computer. SurfThing builds them for golf simulation, in a desktop tower or a laptop. With the desktop PC, add the SurfThing DT2424H touch screen to start rounds, review data and scrub swing video from the hitting area. Skip the computer if you will run an iPad or phone app.
- SurfThing Enhanced Level PC: Core Ultra 5 with RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD
- SurfThing Enhanced Level Laptop: Core Ultra 9 with RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD
- SurfThing DT2424H 23.8" Touch Screen Monitor, 1080p, 75Hz (with the desktop PC)

FAQ
Golf Simulator Floating Screen Package Questions
What comes in the Golf Simulator Floating Screen Package?
The base package is The Net Return Floating Screen Simulator Bay (8' Wide, with side barriers), a Real Feel Country Club Elite Mat 5'W x 5'L, an Optoma ZW350ST short-throw laser projector and its ceiling mount. The 10' and 12' widths are one click away, and a launch monitor, landing pad, gaming computer and touch screen are added in the builder.
Which launch monitors can I add to the Golf Simulator Floating Screen Package?
Twenty-two. Behind the ball: Swing Caddie SC4 PRO, Garmin R10, Rapsodo MLM2PRO, FlightScope Mevo Gen2, Full Swing KIT and FlightScope X3C. Beside the ball: SkyTrak ST MAX, Bushnell LPi Circle B Edition, Uneekor EYE MINI LITE, Bushnell Launch Pro Circle B Edition, Uneekor EYE MINI, Foresight Sports GC3S, Garmin R50, Foresight Sports GC3, Foresight Sports GCQuad and Foresight Sports QuadMAX. Overhead: Uneekor EYE XR, Uneekor EYE XO, ProTee VX, TruGolf APOGEE, Uneekor EYE XO2 and Foresight Sports Falcon.
Can I buy the Golf Simulator Floating Screen Package without a launch monitor?
Yes. BYO Launch Monitor is the default: you get the screen, mat, projector and mount and use the launch monitor you already own.
How much room does the Golf Simulator Floating Screen Package need?
Every width needs a 9 ft ceiling and fits at 14 ft of room depth, with 18 ft for a full driver swing. Width is 10 ft for the 8' screen, 12 ft for the 10' and 14 ft for the 12'. The frame itself stands 8'6" tall and 3'6" deep and can sit 6" from a wall. Depth also depends on the launch monitor: The Net Return puts it at 14 to 22 ft, and units that sit behind the golfer need the most. Overhead units need 9 to 10 ft of ceiling for ProTee VX and TruGolf APOGEE, 9.5 to 10.5 ft for the Foresight Falcon, and 10 ft for Uneekor EYE XR, EYE XO and EYE XO2.
Which screen width should I choose?
Pick the widest one your room allows. Wider means a bigger picture and more room for mishits. All three are the same height and depth, so width is the only thing that changes.
Which projector works with the Floating Screen Simulator Bay?
The Net Return recommends a short-throw projector for the Floating Screen Simulator Bay. The included Optoma ZW350ST is 0.521:1, and the BenQ AH500ST (0.499:1) and LK830ST (0.496:1) are short-throw units as well. Laser and LED units are for people who want long light-source life; 4K is for people who want the sharpest course graphics.
Does the Golf Simulator Floating Screen Package include simulation software or a computer?
No. Simulation software depends on the launch monitor you choose. Match the unit to the software you want to run. The Garmin R10, for example, works with the Garmin Golf app, GSPro and E6. A gaming computer is optional in the builder and is needed for Windows software such as GSPro. Skip it if you will run an iPad or phone app.
How long does the Floating Screen Simulator Bay take to set up?
One person can set it up in under 45 minutes with push button Quick Color Connect assembly.
How fast does the Golf Simulator Floating Screen Package ship?
Most items usually ship within 1-3 business days when in stock. Manufacturer delays can happen; we email tracking the moment it ships. Shipping is free on most orders within the contiguous 48 states (some exceptions apply). We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 118 reviews.
It was easy to install and i thought there may be issues since i use indoors, but it has been great.
Loving this net. I feel more secure about hitting full swings in my backyard without the worry of it going to my neighbors yards or windows. Shipping was also fast!
Great piece of equipment . So functional. Perfect design. Very versatile . Highly recommend!
Works great at stopping high shots. Super easy install
For a patio or inside set up, having the No Fly Zone V2 is an excellent option for the Net Return! Ordering through top shelf golf was great! The online ordering process was seamless and the delivery time was excellent. I also appreciated the emails I received keeping me updated on the shipping status!
Excellent Product and Amazing Customer Service!
It’s been brilliant! 10 HCP here, and the home package has been the perfect intro into the home driving range craze. The mat is fine, easily as good as the mats at my local GC and the size (6x10) is a huge bonus as it allows the ball to roll easily back to you. The NetReturn works perfectly. Well struck shots to the center, come straight back. Anything to either side comes back at slight angle. Very intuitive. I paired the home pkg with a SkyTrak (original model) and have it set up on the deck out back which overlooks an open space (green belt) with a view. I’m more than thrilled.
Have been a customer since 2020 when I ordered the simulator package with the Mevo+, hitting mat, and The Net Return setup. Also have added the impact screen and side nets.. all have been amazing products & doing business with Top Shelf Golf has been great. Thanks for making my winter in Iowa bearable.
The Net Return Universal Side Barriers for Pro V2 & Home (V2 / Classic) Nets
Great customer service from start to end. The prov2 fits perfectly in my garage. The net is very durable. Side netting are great protection from my bad hits. It can be use for other sports. The turf is thick and soft, easy on the elbows. Would recommend for a simple simulator set up that is affordable and easy to assemble.
Got this for my High School Girls Golf team to practice indoors in the spring and we absolutely love it. When used with our R10 launch monitor, it allows us to do more than hit foam balls in a gym. We actually get a real practice in with full swings. It is high quality and will serve us for years to come. Highly recommend!
The Net Return Universal Side Barriers for Pro V2 & Home (V2 / Classic) Nets
The net works perfectly. I'm able to rip drives at it and it easily handles it.
I was looking for a net that was portable, easy to setup, and allowed me to hit all my clubs. This net is perfect. When I use my lob wedge I just move the net closer and it works great. I can take it outside in the summer. It returns the ball every time so you don’t need a bunch of golf balls. I use the Garmin Approach R10 which requires 8 feet from ball to net. I haven’t seen issues when I pull the net closer when hitting wedges. I went with the 8’ tall version and very happy with it.
Setup in the garage. I love experimenting between clubs, balls, and swing tempos. Immediate feedback on club head speed, ball speed, carry, spin rate are all useful tools. I have already increased my club head speed by 5mph in about a weeks time. More to come.......
Net works perfectly. Extremely well built. Can't wait to finish the set up. Shipping was super fast!
Service and sales was above standard and the shipping was super quick
This is great to help our team improve in the winter months. Cannot wait to see the improvements especially with our younger players
I’ve always heard good things about the net returns and decided to purchase for a small indoor practice room. It fits great in the room and does a nice job of returning the ball gently to hit again. I also bought the side barriers, but haven’t had a chance to set them up yet. We might only use those when we setup outside in the summer.
Protects the surrounding area from errant shots.. more than we like to admit!
The Net Return Universal Side Barriers for Pro V2 & Home (V2 / Classic) Nets
Love this net! Setup and tear down in minutes.. quiet and effective. This net is making us look forward to swinging the clubs all winter long!
The Net Return net is perfect. We set up an inexpensive simulation experience. Garmin Approach R10 Net Return package. Super easy to set up. Ran it through an IPad with display on a 43” TV. Works perfect. Will get us through the Wisconsin winter!
Outstanding. Delivery and set-up a breeze. A quality product.
A necessity but still make sure to stand as close as possible. Easily flop a 60 degree blade. A must have though!
Outstanding quality, look and ease of assembly. A few extra touches and it is perfect. I would suggest standing as close as possible with your wedges. I easily put one over the top from the driving mat. Side curtains a must have. All in all I am more then satisfied with my purchase. Great product(s)!
The Net Return Universal Side Barriers for Pro V2 & Home (V2 / Classic) Nets
The "No Fly Zone" extension has been a great addition to my simulator set-up. It has eliminated the high shots from flying over the net. This has allowed more confidence when practicing wedge shots and working with children on their game. Great Product, thank you. P. Acton
Quality and ease of installation are great and really does "net Return", one ball is all that's needed. A little bigger than expected but probably necessary. I didn't see any need for the side nets. I'm guessing may be needed for more stability if outside due to wind and such but in my basement against a wall, not needed.
Was worried about spending the extra Money to buy this one . Glad I did . It’s really good in the garage . You need the sand bags if you hitting driver . Fill a ziplock bag with sand and put zipper NR bag . The sand will wreck that zipper
I set up the net return in my back yard. Super easy assembly and it works great. You can tell this product is going to last a long time. I’m new to golf but the majority of the time the ball returns right back to the spot I swung from. Highly recommend!
Ordered the Netreturn and SkyTrak from Top Shelf Golf. Both shipped on-time and as promised.Very happy with my purchase and the service.
Outstanding product! Easy to set up and move around. Ball comes right back to you every time.
No Fly Zone is essential in my house of glass. But then again I never miss. The NFZ is like the Patriot missile system knocking errant shots down. Fits my V2 net and is an insurance policy in case my wife hits a stray shot!
Side barriers are necessary in my house of glass. But then again I never miss. The barriers fit my V2 net and is an insurance policy in case my wife hits a stray shot!
The Net Return Universal Side Barriers for Pro V2 & Home (V2 / Classic) Nets
Extremely easy to set up. Color coding of frame makes it mistake proof. The golf ball does return just as advertise. No need for a golf ball tray, Seems very durable.
The Net Return Universal Side Barriers for Pro V2 & Home (V2 / Classic) Nets
We bought the no fly zone extension after a few shots flew over the top of the net with wedges. It seems to have stopped the issue of balls going over the net. We are happy with the product.
Great product. Took 10 minutes to put together.
The Home series net is great, especially in smaller areas. The one downside is the frame. It is a lighter duty steel. The opional side barrier kit comes with 4 sandbags. Two of them are used to weight the rear of the net frame down. The net is more stable with the addition of the sandbags. I give it 5 stars.
The Net Return Universal Side Barriers for Pro V2 & Home (V2 / Classic) Nets
Great golf system!
Instructions were detailed and included a link to a video for step by step for assembly. I really like the net and feedback system associated with the ball return.
Absolutely great addition to the pro net return v2!!! While we all would love to swing perfect every single time, there will be shots where we come in too steep and under the ball and this extension works like a champ! Great company and great product!!!
I had a very limited window for the delivery and Ivan and the guys at Topshelf were super attentive and got the product to me exactly as they said they would. The net itself is great, looks great quality and easy to assemble. The only issue was that my other product (practice tees) didn't arrive when we had agreed and so I didn't receive that product.
