Elevate Entertainment Venues & Workspaces with Cutting-Edge Technology Blended with Sports

Golf simulators have evolved beyond traditional gaming and training tools. They’re now a highly sought-after amenity in entertainment venues, offices, and high-end multi-dwelling units (MDUs). 

These high-tech systems are a unique and interactive method of increasing customer engagement and workplace culture, and for residential properties, they can elevate your property value.

However, incorporating a golf simulator requires more than installing a screen, sensors, and a net. For a long-time, high-performance experience, the system should be professionally designed, expertly integrated, and utilize bespoke AV solutions built to last. Plus, venue managers, designers, and builders should have a say in how the process goes before anyone installs a single component.

Integrated AV partners with commercial property owners and other industry professionals to create immersive, easy-to-use golf and sports simulators that add dramatic aesthetic appeal and fun to your day-to-day experiences. Learn more about them below.
