Description
All-In-One Launch Monitor
THE SIMULATOR COMES WITH THE MONITOR
At the center of this package is Garmin’s Approach R50 — the first portable launch monitor to run full golf simulation on a built-in 10″ HD touchscreen. No separate computer, no extra device. The R50 is the launch monitor and the simulator in a single unit, and this room is built around it.
Direct Measurement
THREE CAMERAS. FOURTEEN-PLUS DATA POINTS.
The R50 uses three high-speed cameras to directly measure ball and club at impact — not radar-based estimates. Ball speed, spin rate, spin axis, launch angle, club path — every number is captured at contact and displayed on the device instantly. No shot delay, no guesswork.
Virtual Golf, Built Right In
43,000 COURSES FROM THE MOMENT YOU POWER ON
Home Tee Hero runs natively on the R50 — no software install, no additional hardware. Play full rounds including putting with up to four players, compete in weekly tournaments, and watch your scores post to a global leaderboard. An active Garmin Golf membership ($100/year) is required for course access.
The Complete Room
EVERYTHING THE ROOM NEEDS, NOTHING IT DOESN’T
The SwingBay® enclosure, ballistics-grade impact screen, 4,000-lumen short-throw projector, and SwingTurf® mat are all spec’d to work with the R50 from the first shot. No sourcing individual components across multiple vendors. No compatibility research. One package, one order, one setup.
Backed by Rain or Shine
ONE TEAM BEHIND EVERY PIECE OF THE ROOM
When you buy this package from us, you have a single point of contact for everything in it — the launch monitor, the enclosure, the screen, the turf. We put it together and we stand behind all of it. Questions six months after your order ships? Still the same team, still the same number.
Make It Yours
Customize Your R50 SwingBay® Bundle
Want a different enclosure size, mat dimensions, or screen material? Use our bundle builder to configure the exact setup for your space. Every option is built around the same R50 at the center.
The R50 SwingBay® Package is a complete golf simulator room — not a launch monitor with a few accessories bolted on. The Garmin Approach R50 sits at the center of it, doing something no other launch monitor does: running full simulator software natively on a built-in 10″ touchscreen, with no PC, phone, or tablet required. Wrap it in the SwingBay® enclosure with a ballistics-grade impact screen, a short-throw projector, and a SwingTurf® mat and you have a room you can step into and start playing the same day everything arrives.
The package is designed so that every component works with every other component — the projector throw matches the enclosure depth, the screen handles the impact, the turf is sized for the hitting area. What sounds like obvious stuff is actually where buying a la carte goes sideways. When you buy the package, you skip that problem entirely. And if you want to add GSPro or E6 Connect down the line, the R50’s HDMI port and third-party software compatibility mean your investment carries forward — you’d just need a gaming PC to run it.
Not sure whether the SwingBay® is the right fit for your space, or whether to go single or triple-layer screen? That’s exactly what our simulator team is here for. Tell us about your room and we’ll sort it out with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
The SwingBay® package comes in two enclosure sizes (8×10 or 9×12), two mat sizes (5×5 or 4×9), and two screen material options (single layer or triple layer). See the Specifications tab for full package dimensions and the What’s Included tab for everything in the box. If you’re not sure which configuration fits your space, our team can help you figure it out.
No. The R50 runs Home Tee Hero natively — the projector displays the simulation without a PC in the loop. If you want to run GSPro, E6 Connect, or TGC, you’ll need a separate gaming PC connected to the R50. Our team can spec the right machine for your software and budget — ask us before you buy.
A Garmin Golf membership ($100/year) is required to access Home Tee Hero’s 43,000+ courses and weekly tournaments. Practice mode, shot data, and impact video playback are available without a subscription. Third-party software licenses (GSPro, E6 Connect, etc.) are purchased separately if you go that route.
The 8×10 SwingBay® configuration has an overall footprint of approximately 11’W x 15’D x 8.1’H. The 9×12 configuration requires more depth. The R50 itself has no minimum ball flight requirement — just enough space to swing. If your room dimensions are close, send us the measurements and we’ll tell you what fits.
Both screens are ballistics-grade woven polyester. The triple-layer screen offers additional durability and a slightly superior image surface for projection — it’s the better choice if you’re hitting at high ball speeds or plan to use the room heavily. The single-layer screen is excellent for most golfers and a solid value. Not sure which is right for you? Ask us.
