How to Rent Out Your Home Golf Simulator for Money
If you’ve got a home golf simulator setup in your garage, shed, outbuilding, or other space, chances are you’ve invested quite a bit of your time and hard-earned money into it. Perhaps you called in an expert remodeler and sim builder or pulled together the components for the perfect build yourself. You might be wondering if there’s a way to monetize it safely and securely. That is, a way to rent out your home golf simulator for money, and to do so without having to worry about issues and challenges. Good news: There is, and it’s easier than you might think.
Step One: Prep your space.
You’ll want to do some quick prep in order to get your space ready for guests. Think about how attractive your space will look for someone browsing online in search of a golf sim where they can get in a few practice swings on a lunch hour, after work, or with a handful of friends on game day. Clear all surroundings so you can take a few photos from several angles to show it off. Keep the focus on your simulator setup, atmosphere, and technology–as these are elements that will be attractive to guests looking for a place to play.
Consider some details, like how guests will enter the space (by themselves on demand or with your help), where they might use a restroom (if available), and seating for a single guest or several. Are there practice clubs available? Balls? Do you need some step-by-step instructions on how to turn it on and get a session going? Stow away valuables and hard-to-replace items like tools, collectables, and one-of-a-kind or fragile items.
Step Two: Create a golf simulator listing.
Once you have four or five high-quality photos of your space ready, it takes about 10 minutes to create an online listing for renting out your home golf simulator. The best place to do it is through RecDay, a website designed specifically for hosts and guests looking to rent out home golf spaces.
First, create a secure account, then start your listing by naming your space. Write a quick description, including the type of structure, the technology it features (hardware and software), and any other key selling points. From there, work through the step-by-step questions to indicate which amenities are available in your space by simply checking the relevant boxes. Next, indicate your availability (i.e. the times you’d like your home golf simulator to be available for booking versus the times you’d like to block it off for your own use or another reason). After you’ve finished this quick listing creation process, submit your listing for review. A member of the RecDay customer success team will take a look and approve so your listing is live.
Step Three: Start earning.
Once your home golf simulator listing is live, it is marketed to a network of avid golfers in your area through a combination of targeted social, digital, and other targeted marketing efforts. You can also help spread the word about your listing, posting the link to it in forums, through local community and group pages, and on your own social media profiles.
Folks in your local area interested in renting out your golf sim only need a link to your listing to review the information about your space, view availability in real-time, check out your hourly rate, and submit a request to book. When they do, you receive their request (along with their profile information, review rating with historic reviews from other hosts, and a direct communication with them). You can approve or deny the request and plan to host them at the booked time, then receive payment directly to your account. It’s that easy.
