The biggest thing I find that simulators are garbage at is play around the greens. They cannot figure out what a putt from the rough is going to do and they assume every shot within 40 yards is going to be a partial swing with a 56 degree wedge... which just results in a very confidence-inspiring but probably not very realistic session of hitting a ton of wide open flop shots.
An actual real life surface to chip at from say 5 feet off the green, even though it's not real grass, would be very beneficial.

Given how good some simulators have gotten, this would be the way to go for a golf dome. Take the full swing stuff to the simulators, convert all that other space to indoor short game and putting areas. NCAA schools have these setups and they're getting pretty good.
