The nine-hole card to a sim that fits

Player: your garage
Course rating: honest · Slope: measured
HoleThe play
Front three · the fit check. Pencil in your room.
1PAR 2.75

Ceiling height

The driver swing decides everything above you. 2.75 m clears it; 2.5 m plays irons only.

2PAR 4.5

Room depth

Radar monitors want 4.5 m of ball flight to read spin. Camera units live happily from 3.6 m.

3PAR 3.0

Room width

Under 3 m forces an offset stance and eats your follow-through on the lead side.

Middle three · the tiers. Play the one your card allows.
4ENTRY

The swing-year starter

Photometric unit, net, no screen. Real carry and ball speed, no cinema. The tier that tests whether you will actually practice.

needs 2.6 m ceiling · carry + ball speed
5MID

The full bay build

Impact screen, short-throw projector, camera monitor. Where most garages should land, price included.

needs 2.75 m ceiling · adds spin + club path
6FULL

The radar suite

Full flight model and course software. Worth it when league nights replace the range, not before.

needs 4.5 m depth · the whole flight model
Back three · local rules of this clubhouse
7RULE

Fit before features

No launch monitor recommendation before the room passes. A unit that cannot read your flight in your space is a paperweight.

8RULE

Accuracy, priced

We compare cost per yard of carry accuracy across tiers, so you see what the next thousand actually buys.
