What's Included

Garmin Approach R50 Launch Monitor & Simulator: The premium golf simulator and launch monitor that puts you on course to play your best game from drive to putt.

Approach R50 Accessories: Carrying Case, AC Adapter and Power Cord, 250 Club Tracking Stickers, Documentation

Enclosure, Screen, and Frame: A reinforced rectangular frame paired with a tour-grade impact screen built to absorb real ball speed without flex or rebound. Sized to fit standard ceilings and finished basement spaces.

5x8 Hitting Mat with Gel Insert: Wider stance area. Easier on knees, hips, and elbows during long sessions.

Premium Putting Turf: Embedded into the mat for authentic short game practice and a smooth, predictable roll.

Your Choice of Projector

  • Optoma ZW350ST: Chosen for bright, HD clarity at a wallet‑friendly price.
  • Optoma GT2000HDR: Unlocks keystone correction for off‑angle mounts and a 30,000‑hour light engine.

Protective Floor Projector Mount: Included on 8' Studios only. A reinforced floor housing that shields the projector from mishit shots and stray bounces, letting you swing freely without second-guessing your setup.

Space Requirements

You'll want to take into account the ceiling height of your space, not just for the enclosure, but to make sure you have enough room to swing a club! The sizes of the enclosures are below:

Garmin Studio Golf Simulator Bay Golf Enclosure

  • Studio 8: 8' (Wide) x 7.5' (Tall) x 4' (Deep)
  • Studio1010' (Wide) x 8' 6" (Tall) x 5' 4" (Deep)
  • Studio 12: 12' (Wide) x 8' 6" (Tall) x 5' 4" (Deep)
  • Studio 13 Deep: 13' (Wide) x 10' (Tall) x 10' (Deep)

As for the length & width of your space, the main consideration is around the launch monitor you choose. Some launch monitors sit behind you (like the Approach R10) and require a certain amount of distance to the screen. Others (like Approach R50) sit directly to the side and require a few feet of space width-wise.
