How much does a home golf simulator cost in the UK?

Where the money goes

Almost all the difference between a cheap room and an expensive one is the launch monitor. Our SimSpace room packages share the same enclosure, Tee Turf mat, rubber base and BenQ projector, with the price changing a little by enclosure size. So the budget question is really: which launch monitor, and does it need a PC?

About £3k: start with the launch monitor

At around £3k you can't quite get a complete projector room from us. What you can do is buy a good launch monitor and a SimSpace enclosure with a mat, read your shots on a phone, tablet or the unit's own screen, and add the projector later. The launch monitor is the part you won't want to replace, so that's where I'd put the money.

About £5k: a complete room

This is where complete rooms start. The Square Golf and FlightScope Mevo Gen2 packages each include the launch monitor, an enclosure in your size, the mat and base, and the projector (side netting is an add-on). Square Golf plays through its app, so you can start without a PC. The Mevo Gen2 needs about 2.4m behind the ball and a PC for a full simulator, so check the room length and budget for the PC.

About £8k: camera rooms, no PC needed

The Garmin Approach R50 package sits here: three cameras beside the ball, and a touchscreen that runs the simulator with no PC. In the same range are the Foresight GC3S, Golfzon WAVE and Uneekor Eye Mini rooms, and the Full Swing KIT room, which pairs radar with a camera and needs a PC.

£12k and up: tour-level data

The Foresight GC3 room plus a PC to run Foresight+ comes to about this level. Above it are the Uneekor EYE XO2 room, the Full Swing KIT Studio packages and the Foresight GCQuad room. You're paying for full club data and the accuracy club fitters work with. Most home golfers don't need it; it's for players who want every club number.

What it costs to run

Software is the main running cost, and it depends on the launch monitor. These are the makers' own prices, checked on 6 October 2026. Some are only published in US dollars, so that's how we show them.

• Garmin Approach R50: range practice, shot history and stats are free in the Garmin Golf app. Home Tee Hero course play needs a Garmin Golf membership: £8.99 a month or £89.99 a year.
• FlightScope Mevo Gen2: no subscription. The FS Golf app and 8 E6 Connect courses are included for life.
• Square Golf: no subscription. You get 1,000 credits free (1 credit is 1 hole per player), then top-ups from £2.99 for 100 credits to £19.99 for 1,000.
• Foresight GC3: runs Foresight's Premier software with a Foresight+ membership, and every new unit includes a 30-day trial. The Free tier costs nothing. Silver is $199 a year and Gold $599 a year. Course play needs Silver or Gold plus a Course Pass: $295 a year for 35 courses or $595 a year for 111, so the cheapest course play is $494 a year. Older FSX software (Play, Pro, 2020) keeps working.
• Full Swing KIT: Full Swing GOLF for KIT, with 15 courses, is £399 a year; the Premium App is £199 a year (Full Swing Europe's UK prices).
• Uneekor Eye Mini: the Player tier is free for the range; Pro is $199, Champion $399 and Ultimate $599 a year.
• GSPro, on launch monitors that support it: $250 a year, plus a Windows PC to run it.
• Awesome Golf: £14.99 a month, £149.99 a year or £349.99 for life.
• E6 Connect, if you want more than what comes with your launch monitor: Basic is $300 a year and Expanded $600 a year.

The other running cost is the impact screen. Screens wear with use; how fast depends on how often you play, the balls you use and whether you hit the middle. Replacement screens are available, and new, clean balls make yours last longer. If you'd rather spread the cost, you can pay later with Shop Pay at checkout.

Before you settle on a band, check whether a simulator fits your room: every package needs at least 3.0 × 2.7 × 4.2m. What you need for a golf simulator lists what's in each package and what isn't.
