The Garmin Approach R50 launch monitor is built for golfers who want a complete indoor golf experience without a complicated setup. With a 10-inch colour display built right into the unit, the R50 handles everything from virtual rounds and swing analysis to detailed shot data - straight out of the box.

Tee it up on over 43,000 courses through Garmin's Home Tee Hero software*, or connect directly to a projector via the rear HDMI port for a big-screen experience. Prefer third-party simulation? Hook the R50 up to a PC or laptop and run GS Pro, Awesome Golf, E6 Connect, or E6 Apex - the choice is yours.

Setup Requirements for the Garmin R50

How much space you need depends on how you plan to use the Garmin Approach R50 golf launch monitor & simulator. The unit sits on the floor beside the ball, so it doesn't demand a huge footprint - but we'd recommend a minimum room size of around 4m deep × 3m wide × 3m high for a comfortable setup.

If you want to project your shots onto an impact screen, you'll need a projector alongside the R50. Otherwise, you can play everything directly on the built-in 10-inch display. For third-party software like GSPro, you'll also want a dedicated gaming laptop or PC to handle the graphics.

Play Over 43,000 Courses with the Garmin Approach R50 Simulator

Garmin's Home Tee Hero software opens up more than 43,000 courses to play from tee to green - all without leaving your house. Pair it with the Garmin Approach R50 golf launch monitor & simulator and you've got a full virtual golf setup that lets you take on world-famous layouts any time the mood strikes.

Garmin Approach R50 FAQs

What’s the difference between the Garmin R50 and the Garmin R10?

The Garmin Approach R50 golf launch monitor & simulator is a step up from the R10 in several key areas. It uses three high-speed cameras instead of radar, features a built-in 10-inch colour display, includes an HDMI output for projector connection, and comes with club tracking stickers for enhanced data. The R10 is more portable and budget-friendly, while the R50 is designed as a more complete home golf simulator solution.

Does the Garmin R50 need a projector to work?

No. The Garmin Approach R50 has a built-in 10-inch colour LCD screen, so you can play courses and view data without any additional equipment. However, if you want a larger, more immersive experience on an impact screen, you can connect a projector directly via the HDMI port on the back of the unit.

What simulator software is compatible with the Garmin Approach R50?

The Garmin R50 works with Home Tee Hero (via a Garmin Golf subscription) for access to over 43,000 courses. It’s also compatible with third-party simulator software including GSPro, E6 Connect, E6 Apex, and Awesome Golf when connected to a PC or laptop.

Do I need a subscription for the Garmin R50 golf simulator?

The Garmin R50’s core features - including ball and club data, impact videos, and driving range mode - work without a subscription. To access Home Tee Hero and play virtual courses on the built-in screen, a Garmin Golf subscription is required at £90 per year. Third-party software may have its own separate licensing costs.

How much space do I need for the Garmin Approach R50 launch monitor?

We recommend a minimum of 4m depth, 3m width, and 3m height for a comfortable setup. The Garmin R50 sits on the floor next to the ball, so the unit itself takes up very little room. The space requirement is mainly driven by your swing and the distance to your net or impact screen.

Can I take the Garmin R50 golf launch monitor to the driving range?

Yes. Although the Garmin Approach R50 golf launch monitor & simulator is designed primarily for indoor use, it comes with a robust carrying case so you can take it to the range. The built-in screen means you don’t need any additional equipment to view your data on the go.
