Golf Simulators

Check out our Golf Simulator Setup Guide for more information.

The minimum room size for your golf simulator will depend on which launch monitor you want to go with. Camera based launch monitors (photometric) will need slightly less space as they set up next to the ball. Radar based launch monitors set up behind the ball so they will need more space.

We would recommend Next to the Ball launch monitors minimum dimensions:

4 x 2.8 x 2.8 m

and for Behind the Ball launch monitors minimum dimensions:

5 x 2.8 x 2.8 m

(length x width x height)

It's really dependent on what you want to get from your golf simulator experience. Some people are only interested in playing on famous courses, some only want the analytical data, some want to take their launch monitor out and about, and some want everything!

As a minimum, you will need decide on these options:

1. Launch Monitor
2. Hitting Enclosure
3. Hitting Surface

Optional upgrades to decide on:

1. Projector (not yet available at MIA)
2. Device or Gaming PC (not yet available at MIA)
3. Simulator Software

For the best portable devices to use on the golf course we recommend the PRGR or Rapsodo MLM, available for around £200-300

For a bit more ball data and some club data the Rapsodo MLM2PRO, Square Golf, and Voice Caddie SC4 Pro are under £1,000

For around £3,000 - FlightScope Mevo+ with the Pro Package and Face Impact Location upgrades delivers unrivalled value for money with professional level data for a fraction of the cost

If you're looking something a bit different, then around £5,000 is the Full Swing KIT - to train like Tiger Woods and Jon Rahm!

For a pga professional level data requirement it's £15,000+ for a FlightScope X3C or TrackMan 4

The golf launch monitor is usually the largest expense of a golf simulator setup, but it's not the only cost so remember to factor in other costs for example software packages, simulator enclosures, impact screen, gaming PC, projector (not always needed)

You can use normal golf balls however the results (particularly the spin data) will not be as accurate as it should be. We would recommend purchasing ball tracking stickers or RCT balls to ensure the best results from your launch monitor. These stickers/RCT balls have been developed specifically with the technology to deliver the best results.

Some products recommend a specific ball, check the product pages for more information.

This is completely dependent on what you want from a golf launch monitor so we can't recommend only one as the best. Different launch monitors have different features / set up requirements / subscriptions so it's really up to you! We can help guide you in making the best decision for you
