Albatross 13S Golf Simulator Enclosure by Elite Sim Golf

The Albatross 13S Golf Simulator Enclosure is the MAC DADDY of our lineup—built for golfers who want a true commercial-style bay in their home or facility. Measuring a massive 13' wide, 8'2" tall, and 5' deep with a 16:9, 4K-ready impact screen, it delivers a wall-to-wall image and a towering hitting window that makes every shot feel like you’re on the tee box at a tour venue.

Despite its size and premium construction, the Albatross 13S is priced to compete with many “value” enclosures. You get a 4K ULTRA triple-layer impact screen, velvet-lined walls with a vinyl exterior, and a heavy-duty 1-1/4" powder-coated steel frame—designed to hold up to commercial use but right at home in a dedicated sim room or high-end garage bay.

Key Features

Massive 13' Bay for Dedicated Sim Rooms

The Albatross 13S is built for spaces where you want to go big: dedicated sim rooms, bonus rooms, clubhouse bays, and high-end garages. The 13' width gives right- and left-handed players plenty of room to swing comfortably, while the 8'2" height and 5' depth create a deep, immersive hitting window that feels like a true commercial installation.

If you want the “wow” factor when people walk into your simulator space, the Albatross 13S is designed to be the centerpiece of the room.

16:9 Widescreen Image for Golf & Entertainment

The Albatross 13S enclosure is built around a 16:9 aspect ratio, which pairs naturally with modern 1080p and 4K projectors. That means:

• A wide, cinematic view of your simulator software
• More immersive framing for full-course play, practice, and online events
• Excellent versatility when you use the bay for movies, sports, or gaming

Combine the 16:9 layout with the 4K ULTRA triple-layer impact screen and you get a bright, detailed image that looks just as good for movie night as it does for a long practice session.

Velvet-Lined Enclosure for a Clean, Professional Look

The Albatross enclosure uses a premium velvet inner lining backed by a robust vinyl exterior. The dark velvet helps absorb stray projector light, improves perceived contrast, and visually frames the hitting area so your eye stays on the screen. Matching velvet flaps wrap the edges of the impact screen using hook-and-loop fastening, creating a smooth transition from wall to screen and helping to reduce light bleed and hotspots.

Heavy-Duty Steel Frame, Built for the Long Haul

At the core of the Albatross 13S is a heavy-duty 1-1/4" (32 mm) thick-wall powder-coated steel frame. The tubing locks together to form a rigid structure that keeps the screen and enclosure panels properly tensioned over time. Anti-collision padding along the top rail adds extra protection in case of a high wedge or full-swing mishit, helping protect both your clubs and the frame.

Fast, Tool-Free Assembly

Despite its size, the Albatross 13S is designed to assemble quickly with minimal hassle. The frame sections snap together without tools, and the enclosure slides over the frame using sewn-in sleeves and hook-and-loop connections. For most customers, assembly takes about 60–90 minutes, with two people recommended for the easiest, safest setup.
