What will your golf simulator cost?
Start from a setup
Where do you want to see your shots?
How much do you want to spend on the launch monitor?
Which program will you play courses on?
Which of these do you already have?
Pick all that apply.
Do you want to hit into a life-size impact screen?
Do you want a padded enclosure to cut noise and bounce-back?
Do you want a mat with a replaceable hitting strip?
You hit from a thicker, softer strip that is easier on wrists and elbows. When it wears out, you replace the strip, not the mat.
Will the screen be in a dark room?
Do you want the picture in 4K?
4K needs a 4K projector and a faster PC.

How the quiz adds it up
- Each answer picks a part: the launch monitor our best launch monitors and price roundups pick for your budget, and for every other part the lowest-priced one that does what you asked for.
- Change any part on the result. Subscriptions show as a monthly cost; most are billed once a year.
- Some launch monitors show spin or club data only with their subscription; the best launch monitors without a subscription show all their ball and club data without a subscription.
