Golf Simulators for Chatham Homes
A train town with serious golf habits and basements from four different building eras. The right bay depends on which Chatham house you own.
Four building eras, four different basements
Chatham's housing stock spans prewar colonials near the village, postwar expansions, and newer builds toward the township line, and each era treats the basement differently. The oldest homes often carry 7-and-change ceilings that rule out drivers but host excellent wedge studios; the newer streets routinely clear full-swing height. We measure before anyone shops for equipment, because the address alone doesn't tell you which basement you have.
When the basement loses the coin flip, the garage usually wins it. Chatham's two-car garages frequently out-measure their basements on both height and depth, and a heated cage build there gets a commuter swinging before the 6:40 train and after bedtime. Neighbors in Madison, Summit, and Short Hills are all regular territory, so surveys cluster quickly.
The builds Chatham calls us about
The commuter's basement bay
Practice that fits between the train schedule and the kids' schedule, with acoustics planned so early sessions stay private.
Basement buildsThe garage tie-breaker
When prewar ceilings say no, the garage usually says yes: cage, turf, heat, done.
Garage buildsThe measured cage
The fastest, most budget-honest route to real swings in a Chatham house that isn't ready for construction.

Chatham questions, answered
Do Chatham's older homes have enough basement ceiling height?
Some do, many don't, and the difference is invisible from the curb. Prewar homes near the village often measure under 8 ft; newer sections clear 9. A swing test with your longest club settles it in twenty minutes, free.
Which is better in Chatham, basement or garage?
Whichever measures better, and in this town it's genuinely a coin flip. We tape both, check heating and moisture on each, and give you the honest comparison instead of defaulting to the basement.
How quickly can you survey a Chatham project?
Fast. Chatham sits minutes from our regular routes through Madison, Summit, and Short Hills, so site visits usually land within days of the first call.
