How much does a golf simulator cost?
From about $2,000 for a basic setup to $35,000 and more for a ceiling-mounted Trackman room. Here is where the money goes, and the yearly costs people forget.
Three price levels
ThePricer’s 2026 price guide groups home simulators like this; complete entry packages sit in between, at $4,000–7,000. A Garmin R10 with a net and a mat, played on your phone, costs less than any of them.
Budget
- Radar or budget camera unit
- Net or simple screen
- 4×5 ft mat
- Phone/iPad or cheap 1080p projector
For example Garmin Approach R10, Rapsodo MLM2PRO, Square Golf Home, SkyTrak ST MAX
Mid-range
- Camera unit or premium radar
- Enclosure with impact screen
- Quality mat
- Short-throw projector and gaming PC
For example FlightScope Mevo Gen2, Uneekor EYE MINI LITE, Square Golf Omni, ProTee VX
Premium
- Overhead or tour-grade tracking
- Custom room or full enclosure
- Premium mat and putting turf
- 4K projector and high-end PC
For example Trackman iO, Foresight Falcon, Uneekor EYE XO2
Where the money goes
| Part | Typical price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Launch monitor | $500–26,000 | Measures the ball (and often the club) and sends the shot to the software. The biggest choice: radar behind you, camera beside the ball or a unit in the ceiling. |
| Software | $0–1,200 a year | Courses, driving range and games. Some launch monitors lock you into the maker's own software. |
| Computer | $0–3,000 | An iPad is enough for some setups. GSPro, Trackman and Uneekor need a Windows gaming PC. |
| Projector | $900–6,000 | A short-throw projector mounted above or behind you, so you do not cast a shadow on the screen. |
| Screen and enclosure | $300–6,000 | An impact screen you hit into, with netting or padding to stop stray shots. |
| Hitting mat | $200–1,500 | The part your joints feel. A good mat lets the club slide like on turf. |
