Your room · Garmin Approach R50 · SIM 3 bay

Your golf room, designed and costed.

Here are three complete rooms sized to your 4 × 6m, with every cost on the table and the one I'd build for you marked.

That's the Garmin Approach R50 room I'd build, ready-filled at £7,317.99. Each room below has its own basket.

Your space

Your space: 4 × 6m

Drawn to your measurements: 4m wide, 6m long and 3m high.

SIM 3 bay 6m 4m
Key: grey strip = 30cm clear behind the bay · ● ball, 2.5m from the screen · ■ Garmin Approach R50 · ▢ projector (floor case). Drawn to scale. If a door, window or radiator sits where I've put kit, tell me and I'll redraw it.
Width · 4m
14cm to spareThe SIM 3 enclosure is about 3.7m wide outside, and we recommend at least 8cm clear each side, so it needs a 3.86m wall.
Height · 3m
Full swing height2.7m is our minimum for a full swing, and you have more than enough.
Length · 6m
It works30cm clear behind the bay + 2.5m from the screen to the ball + swing space behind you: at least 4.2m in all.

Worth sorting before it arrives

A double socket at the screen end

For the projector and the R50, plus one by the hitting area.

A safe route for the HDMI cable

The 10m HDMI cable carries the picture from the launch monitor or PC to the projector. Plan where it runs, under the turf or in a cable cover, so nobody trips on it.

Blinds on any windows

A darker room gives a sharper picture.

30cm clear behind the bay

And 8cm either side, so the screen can give with each shot.

The enclosure

See the build quality for yourself

The SimSpace rooms on this page are built inside a SimSpace enclosure. Watch the frame close up, see it come out of the box and go together, then see one finished and in use.

Why I'd build the Garmin Approach R50 room

The self-contained pick — built-in screen, no PC required to start. It fits your 4 × 6m room in a SIM 3 bay, with nothing needed behind the ball.

The trade-off: Projected course play at its best still wants a gaming PC and GSPro — the built-in screen is the starting point, not the ceiling.

What I've assumed

The room is drawn for a right-handed golfer.

The projector sits in its floor case in front of you — prefer it on the ceiling? I'll swap it.

We haven't talked budget, so I've recommended the best-value room that fits rather than the most expensive.

No gaming PC needed: the Garmin Approach R50 runs the simulator itself.

If any of that's wrong, tell me and I'll redraw it.

Swing video & GSPro Impact video is included. Also works with GSPro (Windows PC, its own licence), E6 Connect and Awesome Golf, with no Garmin membership needed
Runs on The R50's own screen, straight to the projector over HDMI (1080p)
Games & multi-sport Golf only. Other sports need an add-on such as the TruGolf ARCADE, plus a PC

Garmin Approach R50: Club data needs the reflective stickers supplied with the R50, one on each club face. Ball data works without them. All shot data, impact video and driving-range practice are included. A Garmin Golf membership adds course play, practice on those courses, the weekly tournament and cloud video storage. Ball data is its strength. In independent tests, club data was less consistent, with some missed reads and angle of attack the weakest.

Picture quality

1080p or 4K: what you'll actually see

The picture is only as sharp as the weakest link: what draws it (the launch monitor or a PC) and the projector. Impact screens sold as “4K” have a finer weave that shows a sharp picture cleanly, but the resolution itself comes from the projector and what feeds it.

The Square Golf room: the gaming laptop and a 1080p projector, a matched pair.1080p
The Garmin Approach R50 room: the R50's own HDMI output and a 1080p projector, a matched pair.1080p
The Uneekor Eye Mini Lite room: the gaming laptop and a 1080p projector, a matched pair.1080p
1080p

Garmin R50 on its own

The R50 runs its courses itself and sends the picture over HDMI at up to 1080p. A 1080p short-throw projector is the right match. A 4K projector would only upscale the same 1080p picture.

Up to 4K

Garmin R50 with a gaming PC

Connect the R50 to a gaming PC running GSPro or E6 Connect and the PC draws the picture. With a 4K-capable PC and a 4K projector, that's true 4K. GSPro needs its own licence.

Up to 4K

PC-run launch monitors

Foresight, Full Swing and similar units run on a PC, so the PC and projector set the picture. A 4K PC and a 4K projector give true 4K; a 1080p projector gives 1080p.

Is 4K worth it? It's sharpest on a big screen viewed up close, and for films or TV on the same projector. For golf on an R50, 1080p is the honest match.

Worth adding

Extras worth considering

Optional, each with its own one-tap basket.

The courses

Courses: play Augusta, Pebble Beach and 43,000 more

Home Tee Hero comes on the R50 and plays on your projector over HDMI.

Your questions, answered

Worth knowing before you decide

What exactly is included?
Every room is complete: the SimSpace enclosure with its impact screen, the tee-turf hitting mat, the BenQ AH500ST projector in its floor case, and the launch monitor. Each item is listed with its own price on the cards above, plus a sim-spec gaming laptop where the launch monitor needs a PC.
Do you fit it?
Everything is supplied ready to assemble — a SimSpace enclosure goes up in under an hour with SimSpace's step-by-step video. Tom is on WhatsApp for any setup questions.
How much space do I need around the bay?
We recommend at least 30cm clear behind the enclosure, so the screen can give with each shot, and at least 8cm either side of the frame. Those are already allowed for in the plan above.
Which balls should I use?
New, clean, unmarked balls. Premium soft balls such as Pro V1, Chrome Soft and TP5 are actually the hardest on an impact screen. Aiming at the middle of the screen helps it last.
Is there a subscription?
Only for course play — Garmin app + built-in courses · GSPro ~£200/yr optional.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes — Klarna and Clearpay at checkout, or Tom can send an invoice if you'd rather pay that way.
