Golf simulator for exhibitions and trade shows
A hosted golf simulator is the stand game people queue for. Every player joins a nearest-the-pin leaderboard with their name and email, and you get the list at the end of the day. All day from £1,150.
Exhibition stand ideas that bring people in
The stands that stay busy give visitors five things. A golf simulator does all five.
- Something to watch. Every shot plays out on a big screen, so a crowd gathers and passers-by stop to see who’s winning.
- Something to do. A go only takes a few minutes. It’s easy to say yes to, even for people who’ve never held a club.
- Something to win. A prize for the nearest the pin of the day gives people a reason to come back and try again.
- An easy way to leave details. Players give their name and email to go on the leaderboard, and you get the list at the end of each day.
- A reason to talk. Your team chats to people in the queue. It’s a far easier opener than “can I tell you about us?”
Exhibition stand games
Trade show games that work on the simulator. We run them all, and you choose the prizes.
- Nearest the pin of the day. Announce the winner at a set time each afternoon so people come back to the stand.
- Longest drive. Simple, loud and competitive. Big hitters bring their colleagues over to watch.
- Beat the boss. Your MD or sales director sets a score, and anyone who beats it wins a prize.
- Hourly prize. A small prize for the best shot each hour keeps the queue going in quiet spells.
- Your branded challenge. Your logo on the leaderboard, banners on the bay and a challenge named after your product.
How the lead capture works
Each player gives their name and email to go on the leaderboard. At the end of each day, we send you the list.
Agree before the show what players are signing up for, such as a follow-up call or your newsletter, so you can follow up properly. Send the photos and the final leaderboard the next week. It’s an easy first email.

Will it fit your stand?
The indoor bay needs 3.2m x 4m of floor and 2.8m of height, plus one 13-amp socket.
| What you need | Good to know | |
|---|---|---|
| Floorspace | 3.2m x 4m | A stand at least 3.2m deep, so not a 3m x 3m shell scheme |
| Stand size | 6m x 4m or larger works well | The bay takes about half, leaving room for a counter and a queue |
| Height | 2.8m | Check your show’s height rules. Space-only stands usually allow it |
| Power | One 13-amp socket | Order it with your stand electrics |
| Setup | About 90 minutes | Before doors open, in the build-up time |
Not sure? Send us your stand plan in the quote form and we’ll check it fits. For the full specs, see indoor and inflatable setups.
