The Best Golf Nets

Buying Guide

If you’re new to the game of golf or are wanting to improve your skills, getting a golf net is a great way to level up your game. It is a large net that is designed to contain your shots, so you can focus on your swing instead of chasing after stray golf balls.

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a golf net is the size. What you need will depend on how much space you have in your home. Often, the bigger the net, the higher the cost. If you have a wide shot dispersion, then getting a larger net is a good idea so it can contain all of your different shots. However, if you’ve had a lot of practice and can aim well, then a smaller net might work for you. Choose a net size that helps you reach the next skill level you’re aiming for. Keep in mind that the net won’t be the only thing in your space when determining size. You’ll also need space for you to stand and swing. Some people also use a mat as well as a launch motor.

When it comes to added features, you’ve got a few options. If you don’t want to have to chase after your balls, choose a golf net that is designed to return the balls to you through shot feedback. Some nets also come with side barriers for further containment of your shots. If you’re having trouble with your aim, some golf nets have a target on them so you have a visual. This feature is particularly useful, especially for those who don’t use a golf simulator.

• When it comes to durability, you’ll want to check what kind of material the golf net and frame are made out of. Iron and steel frames are a sturdy option, but if you use them outside then you may have to deal with rust. Fiberglass frames are durable, but they are lightweight and need to be secured to the ground. They are also less expensive than some metal options. For netting, choose an option that is UV resistant if you’re going to use it outside. This way the net won’t tear apart as easily and will last much longer.
• If you’re not going to leave it permanently set up in your space, then opt for a golf net that is easy to tear down and put together. This way, you won’t be wasting your practice time building your frame and installing your net.
• If you plan on taking your golf net somewhere else, such as a friend’s house or to the cottage on vacation, get one that comes with a carrying bag. It makes both transport and storage easier and less messy. The bags are also handy for storing the net in your garage and ensuring it doesn’t get dusty or damaged.
• If the target on your golf net is getting dirty from constantly being hit, then you can wipe it down with a damp cloth. This will ensure there are no smudge marks or stains on the target, making it easier for you to aim more effectively.
