5 most popular golf simulators (real customer reviews)

Top 5 Golf Simulators in our Forum

I recently ran a survey in my forum of over 17,000 golf simulator enthusiasts to understand what golf simulator they owned and how they rate it. I asked them to share information on what they paid, what metrics it tracks, their satisfaction with its accuracy, if they’d buy it again, and what golf course software they use with the golf simulator.

I wanted to share a quick article of golf simulator statistics based on the buyer survey. Below is a summary of their responses starting with the most popular golf simulator in the survey, the SkyTrack Launch Monitor. I hope you find this informative.

SkyTrack Launch Monitor

This was the most popular simulator in the survey based on the number of responses. I suspect it has to do with the affordable price point and wide range of compatible golf course software options. 

SkyTrack Pro’s:

• An affordable golf simulator price point
• Wide range of compatible golf course software packages
• Includes driving range software
• Portability and outside simulator use
• On the lower end of depth required for use
  
  

SkyTrack Con's:

• Lower than average reported accuracy in survey responses
• Need to move it for left versus right handed golfers
• Owners reported there was not video playback capability

Garmin R10 Launch Monitor and Golf Simulator

The Garmin was the second most popular simulator in the survey based on the number of responses. It is a relatively new offering from a well known brand. Along with being from a well known brand, folks were excited as it tracks many more metrics than simulators that are much more expensive.

Garmin R10 Pro’s:

• Very affordable price point (one of the lowest on the list)
• Wide range metrics it tracks and courses it can use
• No adjustment needed to switch between left versus right handed golfers
• Portability and outside simulator use
• Has video playback capabilities to see your swing

Garmin R10 Con’s:

• Lower than average reported accuracy in survey responses
• Requires marked balls to pick up spin accurately
