Frequently asked questions

How much space do you need for a golf simulator?

Most launch monitors need a ceiling of 2.74 m (9 ft), a room depth of 4.5 to 6 m (15 to 20 ft) and a width of 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft). The lowest ceiling on the list is 2.44 m (8 ft), for the Garmin Approach R10 and the Bushnell Launch Pro.

What ceiling height does a golf simulator need?

2.74 m (9 ft) for most units. Ceiling-mounted units such as the Trackman iO, Uneekor EYE XO2 and Foresight Falcon hang in a set range, between 2.70 and 3.20 m depending on the unit.

Which launch monitor fits a low ceiling?

At 2.44 m (8 ft): Garmin Approach R10 and Bushnell Launch Pro. At 2.59 m (8 ft 6 in): Uneekor EYE MINI. At 2.70 m (8 ft 10 in): Trackman iO in the LOW version.

How deep does a golf simulator room need to be?

Depth is the space behind the ball, the ball flight to the screen, and about 0.3 m (1 ft) behind the screen. Radar units that sit behind the ball need the most, 4.5 to 6 m (15 to 20 ft). Camera units beside the ball need the least, from about 3 m (10 ft).

Where do the numbers come from?

From the makers' own manuals and support pages where they publish room sizes. Where they do not, a figure from a well-known guide is used and marked as such. Every unit lists its sources.
