Rene Delgado is the Founder and CEO of The Indoor Golf Shop, an indoor golf simulator store that offers a wide range of indoor golf setups & golfing equipment. In 2017, the search for an extra income stream led Rene Delgado to consider e-commerce, selling physical products online.

It is a business run by golfers, for golfers, and is dedicated to helping others create the golf simulator studio of their dreams. The company offers the best indoor golf equipment, information, resources, and support for golfers who want to play the game they love anytime.

This platform offers a wide selection of indoor golf equipment, including simulators, launch monitors, putting greens, and golf nets. Its products are perfect for practicing and improving your golf skills or just having fun, regardless of the weather.

This shop has expanded its manufacturing capabilities with SIG-branded golf simulator enclosures, SIGPRO impact screens, hitting the turf, practice nets, and indoor putting greens.

By 2019, Delgado started manufacturing his products and supplying them to indoor golf businesses and other simulator packages. In the first year, the company made $300K in sales.

While the Indoor Golf Shop buys and resells the technology components like launch monitors and projectors, it manufactures everything in Texas. That includes its screens, turf, surrounds, and all the framing.

The Indoor Golf Shop’s best-selling kit is the SkyTrak SIG10 package which starts at $8,000. It features the SkyTrak launch monitor, a metal case to protect the SkyTrak, a 10- by 8-foot screen with enclosure, side netting, landing turf, a high-quality hitting mat, an HD 1080 projector with a ceiling mount, cables, and installation hardware.
