![]() For many golfers, the Garmin might be sufficient. Stats on the OptiShot will be spotty, but they’re not going to be a million miles out. But for under $2.5K you can get a full training setup with a Garmin launch monitor here.Īnd if budget is mega tight? While not a true launch monitor, the cheap and cheerful OptiShot 2 will at least allow you to play golf and hit balls at home. ![]() Garmin (budget) – at the true budget end there isn’t much choice for what we’d class as a genuine simulator (as opposed to a “golf game”). Which is why, I’d recommend SkyTrak to most golfers who have a reasonable budget and are looking for a true “at home” golfing experience. It’s expensive, sure, but SkyTrak is close to pro (and in fact “pro enough” for 99% of golfers), and is coming in at least 50% cheaper than the high end golf simulators. This is going to set you back anywhere from $2K for just the launch monitor, to mid 4 figures for a full setup including hitting cage, mat, projector etc. SkyTrak (mid range) – In the mid range, we’ve got the ever popular SkyTrak system. The GCQuad launch monitor alone is $14K (with sim software), and for a full simulator setup you’ll be looking at around $20-$25K. ![]() They’re the best golf simulators on the market, and they are priced accordingly. These are the sims you’ll see the top online golf instructors like Rick Shiels using in their videos. For more detailed comparisons and choices, check out the individual sections.įoresight GCQuad (best overall) – right at the top of the golf simulator tree we have Foresight’s GCQuad simulators. Here’s our top pick for each price point. So even if you do decide to splash out for one of the top of the line models you’re not necessarily going to have to pay everything out in a lump sum. And the mid-range is very well served with excellent options from Mevo and SkyTrak.Īdditionally, most retailers will offer credit terms that let you spread the cost of the sim over 12-24 months. The good news however is that for most amateur golfers a mid-range sim (somewhere between $4K and $8K for the full setup) is going to be more than sufficient.
