Golf simulators that fit a garage

The short answer

A standard two-car garage usually has enough width and ceiling. Depth is what fails, because a radar launch monitor has to sit six to nine feet behind you and still leave room for ball flight. Watch the garage door track, which often sets a lower ceiling than the slab-to-joist measurement suggests.

Checked against a 20 ft deep by 18 ft wide garage with a 9 ft ceiling, measured to the lowest obstruction.

What fits 20 ft deep by 18 ft wide at 9 ft

41 of the 48 complete packages we could check fit this room, and 14 of the 18 launch monitors do. 4 launch monitors could not be checked because the maker does not publish the placement figures. A further 10 packages are not checked at all, because neither the retailer nor the bundled sensor publishes enough for us to judge the room. They are excluded from the count above rather than counted as failures.

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.

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.

What is specific to this room

The door track is your real ceiling

A garage measured at nine feet to the joists frequently offers closer to eight at the hitting position, because the door track and opener hang across exactly that part of the room. Measure at the tee, not at the wall.

Depth disappears faster than you expect

Twenty feet front to back sounds generous until the enclosure takes five, ball flight takes ten, and a radar sensor asks for another seven behind you. That is the arithmetic that turns a spacious garage into a room that only suits a sensor sitting beside the ball.

The slab is not level

Garage floors are poured with a fall toward the door for drainage, usually an inch or two over the length of the bay. A mat laid straight onto it puts you subtly below or above the ball on every shot, which is worth levelling before it becomes a swing fault you take outdoors.

Try your own measurements

The figures above are a typical room of this type. Yours will differ, and the ceiling especially, so put your own in.

Common questions

Will a golf simulator fit in a garage?+

Usually yes, if you can give up the depth of one parking bay. The common failure is a radar unit that needs more room behind the tee than the garage has between the door and the back wall.
