It’s an approachable option for golfers who want year-round practice, indoor entertainment and a better way to play more golf from home.

Space Requirements

The Garmin Approach R10 is a rear-positioned launch monitor, meaning it needs room behind the hitting area to properly track each shot. For most indoor simulator setups, plan on placing the R10 about 6–8 feet behind the ball, with roughly 8–10 feet of ball flight space from the hitting area to the impact screen. The space recommendations below are built around a comfortable, realistic setup for most golfers rather than the tightest possible dimensions.

Space Requirement 8' x 10.5' DIY Cage + Garmin Approach R10 9' x 12' DIY Cage + Garmin Approach R10
Minimum Room Width 10' 12'
Recommended Room Width 12' 14'
Minimum Room Depth 16' 16'
Recommended Room Depth 16' 18'–20'
Minimum Ceiling Height 9' 9'6"
Recommended Ceiling Height 10' 10'–11'

Quick Notes

8' x 10.5' DIY Cage

  • Best for garages, basements and smaller simulator rooms where space is limited.
  • The 18' depth gives you room for the R10 behind the ball and enough ball flight into the screen.
  • A solid choice for golfers who want a compact, practical home simulator setup.
  • Recommended room size: 12' wide x 18' deep x 10' high.

9' x 12' DIY Cage

  • Best for golfers who have a little more room and want a larger, more comfortable hitting area.
  • The wider cage creates a more immersive simulator feel and gives players more room to swing freely.
  • Recommended for taller golfers, driver-heavy practice sessions or shared family simulator spaces.
  • Recommended room size: 14' W x 18'–20' D x 10'–11' H

Austad's Sim Caddie Recommendation: For the best overall experience with the Garmin Approach R10, we recommend the 9' x 12' DIY Cage if your room can handle it. The extra width and height create a more comfortable setup, while the added depth helps the rear-mounted R10 track shots properly. If space is tighter, the 8' x 10.5' cage is still a great fit for garage and basement builds.


How to Measure Your Space for a Golf Simulator

Before selecting a simulator package, take a few quick measurements to ensure your room can comfortably accommodate both the enclosure and your golf swing.

1. Measure Your Ceiling Height

  • Measure from the floor to the lowest point of the ceiling.
  • We recommend 10' ceilings or higher for the most comfortable experience.
  • Many golfers can swing with 9' ceilings, but driver swings may feel restricted.
  • Watch for garage door openers, light fixtures, ceiling fans, ductwork, and beams.

2. Measure Your Room Width

  • Measure the usable width of the room from wall to wall.
  • Add extra clearance for a comfortable driver swing.
  • If both right- and left-handed golfers will use the simulator, additional width may be required.
  • We typically recommend 12'–14' of room width for most setups.

3. Measure Your Room Depth

  • Measure from the wall where the screen will be installed to the back wall.
  • Remember to account for:
    • Distance from the screen to the hitting area
    • Space behind the golfer
    • Launch monitor placement (if applicable)
  • Most simulator setups require 16'–20' of total room depth.

4. Check for Obstructions

  • Look for anything that could interfere with your swing or installation:
    • Garage door tracks
    • Support beams
    • Windows
    • Electrical panels
    • Shelving
    • Light fixtures
    • Ceiling-mounted storage

5. Consider Your Hitting Position

  • The golfer should be centered on the screen whenever possible.
  • Ensure there is enough room to swing all clubs comfortably, especially the driver.
  • If multiple golfers will use the simulator, make sure the hitting area accommodates both right- and left-handed players.

6. Take a Few Photos

  • Snap photos from each corner of the room.
  • Include any obstacles or unique features.
  • Photos help our Sim Caddies recommend the best enclosure, launch monitor, and projector for your space.

Austad's Sim Caddie Tip

When in doubt, measure twice. A few extra inches can make a big difference in comfort and playability. If you're unsure whether your space will work, send us your room dimensions and photos, and we'll help you find the right simulator setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our most commonly asked questions answered by Austad's Sim Caddies.

Is the Garmin Approach R10 a good launch monitor for a home golf simulator?

Yes. The Garmin Approach R10 is a great entry point for golfers who want an affordable home simulator setup with helpful swing data, simulator play and practice features. It is compact, portable and works well for garage, basement and multi-use spaces.

How much space do I need for the Garmin Approach R10 simulator package?

Because the Approach R10 sits behind the ball, plan for enough room behind the hitting area and enough ball flight space into the screen. For most golfers, a room around 12' wide x 18' deep x 10' high is a strong starting point for the 8' x 10.5' cage, while the 9' x 12' cage performs best in a larger space.

Can I play virtual golf courses with the Garmin Approach R10?

Yes. With the Garmin Golf app and an active Garmin Golf membership, golfers can access Home Tee Hero and play virtual rounds on thousands of courses. The R10 is also compatible with E6 CONNECT for additional simulator play options.

Is this package easy to set up yourself?


Yes. The DIY Series is designed for golfers who want a more approachable home simulator build. The enclosure, impact screen and Garmin Approach R10 setup are intended to be straightforward without needing a fully custom installation.

Who is the DIY Series Garmin Approach R10 Simulator Package best for?


This package is best for golfers looking for a budget-friendly home simulator that is fun, practical and easy to use. It is a great fit for players who want to practice year-round, play indoor rounds with friends or build their first simulator without overspending.
