Quick Answer
$750 for a 3-hour event
That's the standard starting price for a mobile golf simulator rental in Massachusetts with Birdie Express — full setup, two staff members, all gameplay, and breakdown included. Larger or longer events get custom quotes.
Mobile golf simulators have become one of the most popular entertainment options for corporate events, weddings, breweries, fundraisers, and private parties. But if you've never rented one before, figuring out what it actually costs can feel like a mystery.
This guide breaks it all down: what's typically included, what drives pricing up or down, and how to find a vetted operator near you — whether you're in Massachusetts or across the country.

What Affects the Price of a Mobile Golf Simulator?
Duration
Most operators have a 2–3 hour minimum. Additional hours typically run $100–$200 per hour depending on the company and location.
Equipment level
A standard inflatable bay with a launch monitor is the most common setup. Some companies offer premium options — which command higher rates.
Staffing
A well-run event needs at least one operator on-site to manage the simulator, run games, and keep guests engaged. Professional operators include this in their base rate — it's a green flag. If a quote doesn't mention staffing, ask.
Distance traveled
Most operators cover a defined service area without extra charge. Events outside that zone often include a travel fee. Birdie Express covers Massachusetts; other operators in our network serve their own regions.
Add-ons
Club rentals and event prizes can all add to the total. These are usually optional — build the event you need, not the one someone upsells you into.

How Booking Works
With Birdie Express, the process from first message to event day is four steps:
1
Reach out
Book directly or send your event details. Response within 24 hours, usually same-day.
2
Lock in the details
We confirm date, location, hours, and guest count. You get a clear quote and signed agreement before paying anything.
3
We arrive and set up
Our team shows up 30 minutes early. Guests walk in to a ready-to-play simulator.
4
Run, break down, done
We manage the games and pack up cleanly when the event ends. You handle nothing but enjoying your event.
How much does it cost to rent a mobile golf simulator?
Our standard 3-hour event starts at $750 flat rate. That includes full setup, two team members on-site, all the gameplay, and breakdown. Additional hours are $150 each, and club rentals are $50 if your guests don't bring their own. For larger or longer events, we provide custom quotes.
How much space do I need?
The inflatable bay requires roughly 15 feet wide × 20 feet deep with at least 10 feet of ceiling height. We can work indoors or outdoors and will confirm space requirements before your event to make sure everything fits perfectly.
Do you work indoors and outdoors?
Yes — both work well. Indoors (ballrooms, event spaces, warehouses) is ideal for climate control. Outdoors works great for tailgates, festivals, and backyard events. For outdoor setups, we'll factor in weather and surface type when confirming logistics.
What if my guests don't play golf?
That's actually the majority of our events. The simulator is built for fun, not skill — our team runs mini-games like Closest to the Pin and Par 3 shootouts that anyone can enjoy on their first swing. No golf experience required.
How far do you travel for events?
Birdie Express covers events across Massachusetts. For events outside our service area, we provide custom quotes that include travel. Alternatively, our national network directory (below) can connect you with a vetted operator closer to your location.
How early should I book?
Most events are booked 2–4 weeks in advance. Weekend dates in spring and fall fill up fastest. Same-week availability is sometimes possible — reach out and we'll tell you what's open. The sooner you contact us, the better your chances of getting your preferred date.
