Foresight Sports golf simulators
Foresight Sports makes the photometric launch monitors used in club fitting bays, from the GC3 up to the GCQuad and the ceiling-mounted GCHawk. The GC3 and GCQuad sit beside the ball and need no subscription, which changes the long-run cost against cheaper hardware.

Room depth is the minimum this unit can work in, counting clearance behind the screen, ball flight and the space the sensor itself needs. A dash means the maker does not publish that figure, never that we guessed it. Each unit’s page lists its sources and the date they were read.

GC3, GCQuad sit beside the ball, so they impose no ceiling requirement of their own and need no space behind you beyond your own backswing. The trade is that a shared bay with a left handed golfer means moving the unit between sessions.
GCHawk mount overhead, so they consume no floor space at all, and nothing needs repositioning between right and left handed golfers. The trade is a fixed mount height band and a ceiling you have to be able to drill into.
GC3 and GCQuad need an annual subscription to play a course, which over five years can close a large gap in hardware price. The subscription guide runs the arithmetic.
What Foresight Sports tells you before you buy
Foresight Sports publishes some of it and leaves the rest to retailers and forums.
| Published for | Of 3 models |
|---|---|
| Minimum ceiling height | 0 of 3 |
| Ball flight needed to the screen | 0 of 3 |
| Where the sensor physically sits | 0 of 3 |
| A list price | 2 of 3 |
Where a maker publishes nothing we do not borrow a number. The unit is checked against our own 8 ft floor and the row says so, which is the whole method set out on how we verify.
Will a Foresight Sports fit your room?
Ceiling height and room depth decide this more than budget does, and the answer differs across Foresight Sports’s own range because the sensors do not all sit in the same place.

Room figures are the retailer’s own published minimum for that package, not our arithmetic. Where a retailer publishes none we fall back to checking the launch monitor and the enclosure separately and say so. We show one price and never a struck-through one, because a was-price is a claim about the past that we cannot check. Prices move often, so treat these as the figure on the date each package cites.

Common questions
How much room does a Foresight GC3 need?+
Foresight does not publish a room-size guide or space requirements for the GC3. Every room dimension quoted for it elsewhere comes from a retailer or a blog. We check it against our own safety floors instead and label the row as such rather than repeat a number Foresight never stated.
