A golf impact screen is a large, durable screen used to protect indoor or outdoor surroundings from damage caused by golf balls. These screens are typically made from high-quality materials such as polyester, vinyl, or polyethylene and are designed to absorb the impact of golf balls without tearing or breaking.
Golf impact screens can be used in a variety of settings, including indoor golf simulators, outdoor driving ranges, or backyard practice areas. They are also commonly used in commercial settings, such as golf courses and country clubs, to protect adjacent property from errant shots.
When selecting a golf impact screen, it’s important to consider factors such as screen size, durability, and visibility. A high-quality impact screen should be able to withstand repeated impacts from golf balls without tearing or fraying, while also providing clear visibility for golfers.

Make sure you are using the correct side.
Your new impact screen has a front and a back, and only the front is rated to withstand the impact of real golf balls. The impact side will always be folded or rolled facing in to protect the front. The back will be facing out.

Please make sure to take proper safety precautions to protect ceilings, walls, windows, cars, and neighboring homes. Keep children, pets, and spectators out of swing range.
