Question 1

Why is it called Bongo Golf?

Accepted Answer

The name comes from Bingo Bango Bongo, a popular on-course betting game played among friends. 'Bongo' is the best possible score in the game — a nod to our goal of being among the best in the mobile simulator rental space.

Question 2

How much space do I need for the golf simulator setup?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a space roughly 12 feet wide by 16 feet deep with 9.5 feet of ceiling clearance. The simulator enclosure itself is 10 feet wide by 5 feet deep — extra space ensures safe play, equipment placement, and room for spectators. We always provide a free consultation of your space ahead of the event.

Question 3

Do you need to modify my space to install the equipment?
