Garmin R50 Golf Simulator Package
All-in-one — no laptop needed
Listen
A complete Garmin R50 golf simulator room, not a bare launch monitor: SimSpace enclosure with 4K impact screen in one of 7 sizes, the BenQ AH500ST short-throw projector in its floor case, the SimSpace Tee Turf mat, and the Garmin Approach R50 itself. It needs a room of at least 3.0 m wide, 2.7 m high and 4.2 m long (R50 room requirements). From £5,168.98 with UK delivery £5 and a free 3D room design — and the projector is included, which cheaper R50 packages usually leave out.

What size is your space?
Every size is the full package — only the bay changes.
Bay size guide
Sizes are width × height × depth of the enclosure itself. Plan a room at least 3.0m wide, 2.7m high (3m or more is ideal) and 4.2m long (4.3m for SIM 5 and 6; 2.8m for the 1m-deep SIM 0), with 30cm behind the screen and 8cm clear each side of the frame.
| Bay | Metres (W×H×D) | Screen | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIM 0 | 3.3 × 2.5 × 1 | 1.3:1 | Tight-depth rooms |
| SIM 1 | 2.6 × 2.5 × 1.5 | 1.0:1 | Single garages |
| SIM 2 | 3 × 2.5 × 1.5 | 1.2:1 | Most garages |
| SIM 3 | 3.6 × 2.5 × 1.5 | 1.4:1 | Wider rooms |
| SIM 4 | 4 × 2.5 × 1.5 | 1.6:1 | Double garages |
| SIM 5 | 3 × 3 × 3 | 1.0:1 | High ceilings, full depth |
| SIM 6 | 4 × 3 × 3 | 1.3:1 | Dedicated sim rooms |
The R50 stands ~0.5m to the side of the ball — no extra depth needed behind you.

Home Tee Hero
Play 43,000 real courses.
A tee time, any time.
Garmin’s Home Tee Hero turns the R50 into a full interactive simulator — real courses mapped from satellite data, playable on its own touchscreen or thrown onto the big screen through the included projector. Full rounds, closest-to-the-pin, and weekly online tournaments against other golfers.
- 43,000+ mapped courses
- Weekly online tournaments
- Runs on the R50 itself
- Garmin Golf membership £89.99/yr
How it works
- 1Stand the R50 beside the ballNo radar run-up behind you — it needs about 0.5m to the side, that’s it.
- 2Three cameras read every shotMeasured spin rate and axis, 15+ metrics, high-speed swing video.
- 3Play on its screen — or the big one43,000+ courses built in, or HDMI out to the included projector.
The launch monitor
The simulator is built in
A 10-inch touchscreen runs Garmin’s full simulator on the unit itself — no gaming PC, no laptop, no phone propped on a tripod. Home Tee Hero and online play use a Garmin Golf membership (£8.99 a month or £89.99 a year); GSPro or E6 can be added later with a PC if you ever want them.
- 10" touchscreen
- HDMI out
- Wi-Fi & Bluetooth
- 4hr battery
The data
Measured, not guessed
Three high-speed cameras measure spin rate and spin axis directly — a genuine step up from radar units that calculate them. Ball speed, launch, carry, apex, offline; club path, face angle and more with the included clubface stickers. The trade-off: for pro-level club data, a Foresight still leads — ask Tom if that’s your priority.
- 9 ball metrics
- 7 club metrics
- Measured spin
- Impact video
The bay
A proper bay, not a net
The SimSpace enclosure’s 4K impact screen fixes under tension on all four sides — it pulls flat like a drum, so the picture stays true shot after shot. Velour side and ceiling panels and an aluminium push-connect frame that goes up in 20–30 minutes. Seven sizes, including the 1m-deep SIM 0 for tighter rooms.
- 4K impact screen
- 7 sizes incl. SIM 0
- 20–30 min build
- Velour sides & ceiling
The picture
Short-throw, no shadows
The BenQ AH500ST is included: a golf-sim short-throw; it sits low in front of you on its floor mount, filling the screen edge to edge without casting your shadow over the ball. One HDMI lead from the R50 and you’re playing full courses at cinema scale.

The honest comparison
How the Garmin R50 compares
An honest look at where the R50 wins — and where it doesn't. No spin.
| Garmin R50 | Garmin R10 | Mevo+ | SkyTrak+ | Foresight GC3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tracking | 3-camera photometric | Radar | Radar | Photometric | 3-camera photometric |
| Runs a sim on its own screen — no PC to start | Yes | No | No | No | No |
| Spin | Measured | Calculated | Calculated | Measured | Measured |
| Club data | Good (uses clubface sticker) | Basic | Good | Good | Excellent |
| Indoor & outdoor | Yes | Yes | Yes | Indoor-focused | Yes |
| Ongoing subscription | £89.99/yr (lowest) | £89.99/yr | GSPro / E6 (PC) | Practice suite | Foresight+ trial; courses from $494/yr |
| Approx unit price | £3,879 | ~£520 | ~£1,999 | ~£2,500 | £4,000+ |
The trade-off
Club data is the R50’s softer spot — it uses the included clubface sticker and won’t match a Foresight for pro-level club numbers. If club data is your priority over convenience, ask Tom about a GC3 or Eye Mini before you buy.
What it costs to run
The R50 plays free on its own screen. Home Tee Hero and online play use a Garmin Golf membership (£8.99 a month or £89.99 a year). GSPro or E6 add a gaming PC — Tom will spec one only if you want them.
From a Garmin R50 package owner
★★★★★ 5-star review
“Tom, was excellent with the options he gave me and the Launcher Options he gave me. Everything from the Launcher to the hitting area is really good quality. I did have one minor teething issue with my Garmin R50 Launcher, I reported it to Tom, who put me onto the Garmin helpline and they where excellent too. The issue was resolved promptly and to my satisfaction. I honestly couldn't be happier with the after service and my Sim setup and would highly recommend Tom and OpenGolfer to all golfers looking for an indoor solution.”

The questions everyone asks
What ceiling height do I need?
2.7m is the minimum for a full driver swing, and 3m or more is ideal. The SIM 0 to SIM 4 bays are 2.5m tall; SIM 5 and SIM 6 are 3m tall and need a ceiling of at least 3.1m. If you're between those numbers, a few full driver swings in the room will settle it — or send us a video and we'll tell you straight.
Will the Garmin R50 package fit my room?
We design R50 rooms of at least 3.0m wide, 2.7m high and 4.2m long (4.3m for the taller SIM 5 and SIM 6 bays). The seven SimSpace sizes run from 2.6m to 4m wide and 1m to 3m deep, so most single garages, garden rooms and spare rooms work. If your room is under those numbers we'll say so rather than sell you a simulator you can't swing in — a garden cage or the R50 on its own for the range is the better start. The full numbers are in our Garmin R50 room requirements guide.
Do I need a PC or laptop?
No. The R50 runs its simulator on its own 10-inch touchscreen, and one HDMI lead sends it to the included projector. If you later want GSPro or E6, those need a gaming PC — we can spec one, but you don't need it to start.
What exactly is in the box?
Your chosen SimSpace enclosure with 4K impact screen, the Garmin Approach R50 with case and clubface stickers, the BenQ AH500ST short-throw projector with floor case and mount, the SimSpace Tee Turf hitting mat, and the setup guide. Side netting is available as an add-on (the SIM 0 bay comes with its own). UK mainland delivery is £5.
How is this different from cheaper Garmin R50 packages?
Most UK R50 enclosure packages stop at the enclosure, screen and mat — the projector and its mount are extra, so the headline price isn't the price of a working simulator. This package includes the BenQ AH500ST short-throw projector and floor case, comes with a free 3D design of your actual room before you buy, and UK delivery is £5. Our R50 packages compared page sets the specs side by side.
How does the R50 compare with a Mevo+, SkyTrak+ or Foresight?
The R50 is the only one that runs a simulator with no PC, and its three cameras measure spin directly. SkyTrak+ and Mevo+ cost less but need more kit around them; a Foresight GC3 beats it on club data. The comparison table above shows it honestly — and Tom will tell you if another unit fits you better.
Can I buy the Garmin R50 on its own?
Yes. The Garmin Approach R50 launch monitor is sold separately for the range, a net or a room you already have, and you can add any SimSpace enclosure later. This page is the complete room package built around it.
We have left and right handers — does it work for both?
Yes. The R50 supports both and switches sides in seconds — it stands beside the ball, so a mixed household just moves it across the mat between players.
Are there any ongoing costs?
The R50 plays free on its own screen. Home Tee Hero's 43,000+ courses and online play use a Garmin Golf membership at £8.99 a month or £89.99 a year. That's the only running cost unless you later add GSPro or E6.
