BA Custom Products
Simulator Platform
Golf simulator booking & automation software

Book it.
It runs itself.

A complete, self-hosted booking and building-automation system for unmanned golf simulator facilities — built for 1 to 6 bays, and scales to as many as you add. Your customers book, pay, sign your waiver, and let themselves in; the system handles the door, the power, and the shutdown. You own the hardware and the software outright.

This is a sandbox. Nothing here is real.

Every page below is a fully working copy of the real product loaded with a fictional facility — "Northgate Golf Club." Click anything. Book a session, run the admin panel, cancel a booking, change the pricing. No payment is ever charged, no text or email is sent, and no real door or equipment is touched. You get your own private copy, and it resets the moment you close the tab.

Step inside

Five ways to explore

Start wherever you like. The booking page is what your customers would see; the admin panel is what you'd run day to day; the setup wizard is how a new facility gets configured. Demo logins are filled in for you below.

Why it's different

A system you own, that runs without you

01

Unmanned

Door codes, power, and close-time shutdown all happen on their own. No one has to be on-site for a customer to book, get in, play, and leave.

02

Own it

One-time purchase. Your hardware, your data, your domain. No monthly software fee to us — ever. The only ongoing costs are the outside services you choose.

03

Turnkey

We build the device, load the software, connect your accounts, register your domain, and lock it to your hardware. You plug it into your network and it's live.

04

Complete

Booking, payments, digital waivers, memberships, and full building automation in one system. Not a booking widget bolted onto everything else.

What's included

Complete golf simulator booking software — and the automation around it

Each of these is live in the sandbox above. This is the same software that ships on your device — the demo just runs it on fake data.

Booking

Self-service online booking

  • Book by bay or by time — whichever a customer prefers
  • Real-time availability, so only open slots ever show
  • Automatic, conflict-free bay assignment
  • Flexible hours and session lengths, including past-midnight and 24/7
  • Time-based pricing for peak, standard, and twilight windows
  • Discount codes, sales tax at checkout, and confirmation emails
Waivers

Digital waivers, signed before arrival

  • Upload your own waiver with the exact language you need
  • Signed during checkout — no signature, no booking
  • A permanent record per booking, tied to the version they saw
  • Look up by customer or booking; export a whole quarter
  • You can't delete a waiver that's already been signed
Memberships

Members & recurring revenue

  • Build your own tiers, each with its own pricing and perks
  • Member discounts applied automatically at booking
  • Priority privileges — longer booking windows, more active bookings
  • PIN check-in and a member portal for usage and upcoming visits
  • Per-tier limits on days, times, bays, and hours
Memberships control pricing and privileges — not a separate door system. Access stays unified.
Automation

The part that makes "unmanned" work

  • Time-limited door codes per booking, via RemoteLock
  • Bay power on and off automatically, via Shelly smart plugs
  • TVs, projectors, and AC by remote, via BroadLink IR
  • Home Assistant as a catch-all for anything else
  • Close-time shutdown that won't cut power a shared bay still needs
Owner tools

Run the business from one panel

  • Full admin dashboard for bookings, members, pricing, and hours
  • Revenue and analytics to see how the facility performs
  • Built-in local SEO so your facility gets found online
  • Automatic nightly backups plus one-click backup and restore
  • Guided setup that walks through configuration step by step
Yours to keep

Self-hosted and hardware-locked

  • Runs on a dedicated device on your own network
  • Your data lives with you, not in someone else's cloud
  • Software is locked to the specific device we build for you
  • One clock: every time in the system uses the device's clock
  • Recovery built in from day one (see below)
Before you buy

How setup works

We do the technical work so you don't have to. Here's what to expect, start to finish — and it's worth reading before you buy, because a few pieces need to be in your name.

1

You buy the system

Everything below is included in the one-time purchase.

2

We help set up your accounts

A handful of outside services need to be in your name because they handle your money, your customers, and your door. We walk you through creating and connecting them — see "What you provide" below.

3

We register your domain — six years, prepaid

We help you pick an available web address, register it, and prepay six years. It's transferred into your name, so you own it outright. No domain bill for six years.

4

We build and lock your device

We assemble the device, load the software, connect your accounts, set your hours and pricing, publish your domain, and lock the software to your specific hardware.

5

You plug it in

It ships ready to run. Connect it to power and your facility's internet and your booking site is live. No IT, no install, no configuration on your end.

Full transparency

What you provide

So you know exactly what you're getting into: the platform connects to a few outside services and smart devices. You set up the accounts in your own name and install the hardware at your facility — we help you connect all of it during setup.

A note on ongoing costs

There is no monthly fee to BA Custom Products. Your only recurring costs are the outside services you choose — Stripe's standard per-transaction fees, RemoteLock's subscription for your lock, and Twilio's small per-text charge. You set up those accounts and control those costs directly. Your domain is prepaid for six years, and the platform itself is yours once you buy it.

If something goes wrong

Recovery is built in

Because the facility runs unattended, downtime is expensive. We built recovery in from the start — and we're honest about how it works.

Your data is always protected

Automatic nightly backups run on the device, plus on-demand backups you can download any time. A backup holds everything needed to bring a fresh device fully back.

Cold Spare — back up in minutes

An optional second device, fully built and pre-authorized alongside your main unit. If the main one ever fails, swap in the spare and you're running again in minutes — no waiting on a shipment.

No spare? We rebuild it

Order a replacement from us. We build it, configure it, set up your domain, and ship it ready to run. You restore your latest backup and you're back in business.

Locked to your hardware

Every device is tied to the specific unit we build for you, so your system can't be copied or run on unauthorized machines. New hardware always comes from us, built and locked for you.

Common questions

Golf simulator booking software, explained

What is golf simulator booking software?

Software that lets customers reserve golf simulator bays online, pay, and manage their sessions. This platform goes further by adding building automation — per-booking door codes, automatic bay power, and close-time shutdown — so a simulator facility can operate without staff on-site.

Can a golf simulator facility really run unmanned?

Yes. Booking, payment, and waiver signing all happen online before arrival. A unique door code is issued for each booking through a RemoteLock smart lock, smart plugs power the bay up before the session, and everything shuts down automatically after close. The owner manages it all from an admin panel.

How much does golf simulator booking software cost?

Most booking platforms charge a monthly subscription. This one is a one-time purchase: $999 for the complete pre-built system, or $1,399.99 including a cold-spare backup device. There are no monthly software fees — your only recurring costs are your own third-party services like Stripe processing, the RemoteLock subscription, and Twilio texts.

Does it work with TrackMan, GSPro, Foresight, or my simulator?

Yes — it is simulator-agnostic. The platform manages booking, payments, access, and power around whatever simulator hardware and software you run. It does not replace your simulator software.

What hardware do I need to run an unattended golf sim facility?

A RemoteLock-compatible smart lock on the entry door is required. Shelly smart plugs for bay power are recommended, and BroadLink IR (for TVs, projectors, AC) and Home Assistant are optional. The booking device itself comes pre-built and configured.

Is there a monthly fee?

No monthly fee to us — ever. It is a one-time purchase and you own the hardware, the software, your data, and your domain outright.
