Three complete builds, then the screens, launch monitors and projectors we recommend most, side by side.
Golf Simulator Retractable Screens: Premium, Versatile and Space Saving
Retractable screens offer flexibility and convenience, making them an appealing option for those seeking a more versatile indoor golf experience. Here are some advantages they provide:
Retractable screens allow you to transform any room or garage into a golfing area temporarily with the touch of a button. By retracting the screen when not in use, the space can be utilized for other activities, such as parking your car, entertaining guests, working out, or watching movies.
Press one button and the motorized system lowers your impact screen and side panels into place in seconds. When you are done, press it again and everything rolls back up out of the way. There is nothing to set up, take down, or store, so your space goes from everyday use to a full golf simulator and back again whenever you want.
Retractable screens can be more cost effective especially if you already have a suitable space available. You can save on construction or customization expenses and invest more in the golf simulator technology itself.
Retractable screens come in various sizes, allowing you to select the dimensions that best suit your available space and preferences. This flexibility ensures that you can customize your setup to meet your specific requirements.
A built in simulator screen with foam padding is the go to choice for golfers looking to create a permanent, high performance golf simulation experience. Designed for serious play and a clean, professional look, here’s what makes built in screens a standout option:
The most luxurious, professional looking setup, perfect for permanent or commercial use. With its seamless integration into your space, this system optimizes every inch, transforming your room into a dedicated golfing space.
Built in screens are designed to be part of your room's structure, offering a polished, finished look. Once installed, there's no need to adjust or move anything. Just walk in, fire up your launch monitor, and start swinging.
The included foam padding surrounds the screen to help absorb off center shots and protect your walls, clubs, and players. It’s an ideal solution for high traffic environments or families with junior golfers.
A built in screen gives your space a finished, cinematic look, perfect for those who want their simulator to feel like a true part of the room. It’s a favorite for man caves, dedicated sim bays, and commercial installs.
Because they’re permanently installed and built from heavy duty materials, built in screens are made to last. You won’t have to worry about wear and tear from frequent setup or storage.
Golf Simulator Enclosures: Embrace a Dedicated Golfing Space
Golf simulator enclosures provide a complete, immersive experience by creating a dedicated golfing space within your home or facility. Here are some of their notable benefits:
Enclosures are typically designed to optimize lighting conditions and acoustics, ensuring accurate ball tracking and realistic gameplay. Controlled lighting conditions eliminate shadows and improve the accuracy of shot analysis.
Enclosures provide an added layer of safety, preventing golf balls from escaping and causing damage to surrounding areas or individuals. This allows you to swing with confidence and without worrying about potential accidents.
Enclosures offer customization options, allowing you to personalize the design, dimensions, and aesthetics of your golf simulator setup according to your preferences and available space.
Enclosures provide a cost efficient option for avid golfers looking to set up a home simulator without compromising on the high end ambiance. These enclosures combine affordability with a touch of luxury, creating an immersive and realistic golfing experience.

The Trackman iO is Trackman’s first launch monitor built specifically for indoor golf. It mounts on the ceiling above your hitting area and delivers the tour trusted data Trackman is known for, without taking up any floor space.
Trackman iO combines Trackman’s radar tracking with infrared and high speed camera imaging. Each technology measures what it does best, giving you accurate ball data on every shot in real time, including directly measured spin and spin axis.
Because the unit mounts overhead, all you need is enough room to swing a club. There are no minimum distance requirements in front of or behind the ball and no need for extra lighting, which keeps your simulator clean and uncluttered.
Ball data includes ball speed, launch angle, launch direction, spin rate, spin axis, carry, total distance, height, curve, landing angle and hang time. The Complete edition adds expanded club data, including club path, face angle, face to path, dynamic loft and impact location.
The iO runs on Trackman Performance Studio, the same software used by tour players, coaches and club fitters around the world. The first year of software is included.
The EYE XO2 mounts on the ceiling in front of the player and uses three high speed infrared cameras to read ball and club data from any ball. It is the launch monitor in our best selling build.
Expanding on the EYE XO, the EYE XO2 adds a third high speed infrared camera to capture more precise data with any ball of your choice. The larger hitting zone (28” W x 21” L) lets right and left handed golfers swap without moving the unit.
The ProTee VX is a ceiling mounted launch monitor that pairs dual high speed cameras with A.I. powered shot processing. It delivers full ball and club data using the clubs and balls you already own, at a price well below most overhead units.
The VX reads the dimples, logos and markings on your ball and uses A.I. and machine learning to calculate full club data, so there is nothing to mark or apply before you play.
Setup is simple. An intuitive mounting and calibration system gets the VX ready to hit balls in minutes, and it switches between right and left handed golfers without recalibration or reconfiguration.
The VX includes ProTee’s virtual driving range software with ball and club data and shot analysis, and it connects to popular simulation platforms when you are ready to play full courses.
The SkyTrak MAX sits on the floor beside the ball and pairs dual Doppler radar with a photometric camera for full ball data plus club speed, path and face angle, without a ceiling mount.
The MAX pairs dual Doppler radar with photometric cameras. The cameras measure the ball and the radar measures the club, so you get ball data plus club speed, path and face angle every session.
Speed Training powered by GOLFTEC is exclusive to the MAX. Speed Mode lets you take unlimited swings with no ball required and follow coach developed drills for balance, sequencing and finish. Range Mode then shows how your added speed turns into real distance on the Night Long Drive Range.
A new modular internal design reduces internal components, improves stability, and keeps calibration precise from session to session. Dual USB ports let you charge and transfer data at the same time, and the full Game Improvement suite includes Skills Assessments, Bag Mapping, Randomized Practice and the Wedge Matrix.
Whether you’re looking for an affordable indoor simulator, a portable solution for the driving range, or a simple net setup in your backyard, the FlightScope Mevo Gen2 is an all in one answer that delivers serious value for its price.
Mevo Gen2 is powered by FlightScope’s patented Fusion Tracking technology, a combination of 3D Doppler radar and synchronized image processing that delivers accurate data indoors and out.
Every unit includes lifetime ownership of an E6 Connect simulation bundle with 8 world renowned courses for iOS and PC: Kiawah Ocean Course, Torrey Pines, Sea Island Seaside, Latrobe Country Club, Pelican Hill, Chateau Whistler, Valderrama and Kapalua Plantation.
The FlightScope Shot Tracer captures accurate 3D trajectories with data overlays on your swing video, giving practice sessions a live TV broadcast look. The FS Golf app automatically records, clips and saves every shot, and lets you draw on the video or record voiceover comments.
The EYE MINI is a portable camera based unit that sits beside the ball and runs on a 5 to 6 hour rechargeable battery, so the same unit works in your simulator and at the range.
Ball data covers ball speed, side and back spin, side angle, launch angle and carry, plus descent angle, apex, flight time and run in the VIEW software. Club data covers club speed, attack angle, smash factor and club path with EYE MINI club stickers.
It comes with a carrying case, VIEW software for a Windows PC and the VIEW Air iPad app, and a free trial of a Uneekor membership package. Course play and third party software after the trial need a paid Uneekor membership.
The EYE MINI LITE brings Uneekor’s camera based accuracy to a dedicated indoor setup. Dual high speed cameras capture 19 ball and club data points, and setup is as easy as connecting to your PC.
Uneekor’s patented Dimple Optix technology reads the dimples of your golf ball through impact, delivering precise ball data with the ball you already trust. Club Optix captures high speed impact video of the club and ball, so you can see exactly what happened at contact.
Club data includes club speed, smash factor, club path and attack angle. Ball data covers ball speed, launch and side angle, back spin, side spin, spin axis, carry, run, total distance, apex and more.
Every EYE MINI LITE includes Uneekor’s Player Package with ball data, club data and a virtual driving range. Upgrading to a paid Uneekor membership unlocks third party simulation software and course play.

The brightest projector on this page, with lens shift for off center mounting.
The AK900ST is BenQ’s new 6,000 lumen 4K short throw laser projector. A built in camera fits flat and curved impact screens automatically, and optical lens shift lets you mount it high, low or off center without losing 4K detail. Preorder now, shipping late October 2026.
At 6,000 ANSI lumens, the AK900ST has the headroom for wide impact screens and rooms that aren’t fully dark. The sealed IP5X laser engine is rated for 20,000+ hours and 24/7 use.
Optical lens shift of ±60% vertical and ±23% horizontal moves the image without digital keystone, so you can mount above and behind the hitting area, or off center, and still line up with the screen at full 4K.
Throw ratio is 0.81 to 0.89 with 1.1x motorized zoom. Multiply your image width by 0.81 to 0.89 to get the lens to screen distance. A 10 ft wide image needs about 8.1 to 8.9 ft, and a 12 ft wide image needs about 9.7 to 10.7 ft.
A built in camera detects your impact screen and fits the image to flat and curved screens in seconds. Motorized auto focus keeps it sharp, and it covers 97% of Rec.709 color.
Bright, powerful, and built for serious sim space.
With its high brightness and short throw design, the BenQ LK936ST is made for larger golf simulators that need premium visuals without shadow interference. Its optical lens shift and 16:10 support make it a strong fit for off center mounts and taller screens.
Thanks to a 0.81 to 0.89 throw ratio and 1.1x zoom, you can install the LK936ST about 14 to 15 feet from your screen and still fill a nearly 10 foot tall image. That means it can mount behind and above your hitting area, minimizing shadows and glare, so you stay locked in on your shot. Lens shift of up to 60% vertical and 23% horizontal handles off center mounting.
Enjoy lifelike image quality with 4K UHD (3840×2160) resolution and HDR10 support. With 8.3 million pixels and BenQ’s Auto HDR Color Rendition, you’ll get brighter highlights, deeper contrast, and crisp detail, especially when using software like E6 CONNECT.
Pro tip: Need to project in a 16:10 aspect ratio? The LK936ST supports up to 3456×2160 when using a custom resolution via your graphics card.
Golf sims need light for camera tracking, and large screens need serious brightness. With 5,100 lumens, this projector cuts through ambient light and fills a typical 13 foot or wider impact screen without a washed out image.
Developed with color experts, BenQ’s Golf Mode enhances the look of course environments by boosting natural greens and blues. You’ll feel more immersed with skies and fairways that look just like the real thing.
AK700ST placement, 1,000 more lumens and lower input lag.
The AK800ST mounts at the same throw distance as the AK700ST but puts out 5,000 lumens instead of 4,000, and adds the camera based Auto Golf Screen Fit 2.0 from the AK900ST. Preorder now, shipping late October 2026.
5,000 ANSI lumens and native 4K UHD (3840x2160), with 97% Rec.709 color and BenQ’s AI Sim Sense image processing.

With native 1080p resolution and HDR10 support, it’s a great match for simulation software that doesn’t require 4K, delivering clean detail and rich contrast for everything from launch data to course visuals.
You get 4,000 lumens of consistent brightness from its laser engine, which suits well lit rooms, and it lasts far longer than lamp based projectors.
BenQ’s Golf Mode helps bring natural environments to life by optimizing greens, blues, and skin tones, so courses look more realistic and stay easy on the eyes during long sessions.
Ideal for golf and flight simulation and retail applications, the LU935ST has a short throw lens that fills a 12 foot wide screen from about 9.7 to 10.7 feet away, with lens shift for off center mounting. This lets you place the projector so you can stand closer to the screen without casting a shadow.
Larger impact screens need a brighter projector so the picture doesn’t wash out, and golf simulators need extra light for the tracking cameras. The LU935ST’s 5,500 lumens fill a typical 13 foot or wider impact screen while delivering excellent image quality.
WUXGA (1920x1200) goes beyond full HD 1080p and gives you a taller 16:10 image, an aspect ratio that offers more room to swing. HDR10 support with BenQ’s Auto HDR Color Rendition adds brightness, contrast, and image optimization.
BenQ teamed up with color experts to develop an exclusive Golf Mode that optimizes blue sky and green grass, so courses look natural and immersive.
The LU935ST’s laser projection uses a dual color wheel system that covers 92% of Rec.709, the industry standard for color reproduction in HD video and movies, for better color saturation than lamp projectors.
The BenQ TH671ST is a full HD (1080 vertical pixels) projector that is ideal for many home golf simulator installations where the projector will be ceiling mounted on the center line of the screen. It is the projector in our budget build.
