Golf Simulator Room Size Calculator: Will It Fit Your Room?

Type your room's height, width and depth. The calculator checks them against the room sizes that the makers of 13 launch monitors publish. Then it shows which Carl's Place enclosure sizes fit, so you know what to shop for before you spend a dollar. Every number links to the maker's own page.

How this calculator works

1. You type three numbers: the lowest point overhead, the width and the depth. The calculator turns them into inches, so 9 ft 2 in = 9 x 12 + 2 = 110 in.
2. For each launch monitor, it checks your number against the maker's own figures. Most makers give a minimum, some give an ideal, and some give both.
3. Fits means you meet the ideal, or the minimum when that's the only number. Tight means you're between the minimum and the ideal. Under the maker's recommendation means the maker only gives a recommended size and you're below it. Too small means you're under the minimum. Not published means the maker gives no number.
4. Each launch monitor gets the worst of its three results. One short side is enough to stop a setup.
5. For Carl's Place enclosures, it uses Carl's own rule: frame height plus 2 to 3 in of space on top (6 to 7 in for the Curved kit), and frame width plus 2 to 3 in on each side. So a frame fits when your height ≥ frame height + 3 in and your width ≥ frame width + 6 in. It's tight at 2 in on top or 4 in total on the sides.
6. If you pick "Both" for who swings, it uses each maker's both-hands width when the maker gives one. When a maker gives none, it says so and checks the one-golfer width.

The calculator doesn't model your swing. Your height, your driver and your swing plane change the space you need, so take a slow, full driver swing where the ball will sit before you buy.

Shortcuts by ceiling height

Every maker's room numbers in one table

This is the same data the calculator uses. "Min" is the maker's minimum, "ideal" is its suggested or recommended size, and "rec." means the maker gives only a recommendation. Swipe the table sideways on a phone.

Foresight publishes no room size for its GC3, GCQuad or QuadMAX, so those rows show Foresight's general room advice. Depth for Trackman 4, Full Swing KIT, Mevo Gen2 and the Rapsodo and Garmin ranges is our arithmetic from each maker's own distances, shown in the calculator notes. Each maker's page is linked in the sources list at the end.

Where makers disagree

• SkyTrak width. The ST MAX guide prints 10 ft, but its metric figure, 3.35 m, is 11 ft. SkyTrak's planning page suggests 12 ft. We use 10 ft as the minimum and 12 ft as the ideal. ST MAX guide, Plan your space.
• Uneekor EYE XO2 depth and ceiling. Uneekor's support page says 15 ft deep. The product page says 16 ft. The product page lists a 10 ft room, and the support page says the overhead unit needs at least 9 ft. We call 15 ft deep or 9 ft high tight. Uneekor support, XO2 page.
• Foresight width. Foresight's 2026 room guide says 12 to 15 ft. Its 2021 buyer's guide said a minimum of 20 ft, and that narrower rooms can work for some setups. We use the newer range and flag rooms under 20 ft. 2026 guide, 2021 guide.
• Trackman iO ceiling. Trackman's iO setup page says the minimum room height is 9 ft 4 in. Its height table lets the Low unit mount from 8 ft 10 in, and its home simulator page recommends a 10 ft room. We call 8 ft 10 in to just under 10 ft tight. iO setup, iO heights, home simulator page.
• Rapsodo MLM2PRO depth. Rapsodo's FAQ answers the same question twice. One answer says a little more than 14 ft. The other says 8 ft plus 7.5 ft, a little more than 15 ft. We call 14 ft 6 in the minimum and 16 ft 6 in a fit. Rapsodo FAQ.
• Bushnell ceiling. Bushnell's Sim Fit Check lists 8 ft for the 8' bundle, whose frame is 7 ft 6 in tall. Its buyer's guide and the 10' bundle say 9 ft. We call 8 ft tight and 9 ft a fit. Sim Fit Check, buyer guide.
• Garmin R10 depth. Garmin says 15 ft. Its own parts, 8 ft from ball to net plus 6 to 8 ft from unit to ball, add up to 14 to 16 ft by our math. We call 15 ft tight and 16 ft a fit. R10 tips, R10 manual.
