How deep, step by step
How much depth should you allow?
Plan the screen gap, ball flight and backswing together; the maker's depth alone does not describe the whole room.
Bushnell lists 13 ft of indoor depth but publishes no ball-to-screen distance. This site's calculator allows 8 ft to the screen and about 5 ft behind the ball for the swing, plus Foresight's stated 1 ft behind the screen.
That makes 14 ft the estimated starting point, with 16 ft comfortable under this site's model. These are planning allowances, not Bushnell's measured clearances. Use the room calculator with your height and club.
Gap behind the screen
1′Foresight: “1 foot from back wall to projector screen”.
Ball to screen
8′Bushnell publishes no figure; the calculator uses 8′ as the minimum.
Backswing room
5′Beside the ball: nothing stands behind the golfer; this site allows 5′ for the swing.

In the maker’s words
What room size does Bushnell recommend?
Bushnell's pages copied October 17, 2026 list a 13 ft depth minimum and 6 ft width minimum. Recommendations differ: 14 × 6 × 7 ft for semi-portable use, versus 18 × 12 × 9 ft for full simulation.
The calculator uses the stricter applicable requirement when figures conflict, alongside this site's swing estimate. Neither recommended ceiling is a universal clearance: Bushnell publishes no minimum ceiling height. The narrower recommendation should not be treated as sufficient swing room.
Separate Bushnell's tracking minimums from its room recommendations and your own swing clearance.

Will it fit
Which sample rooms fit?
Ceiling height stops these sample builds more often than floor space does.
For a 5′9″ golfer using a driver, this site's model marks the garage tight at a 9 ft ceiling. The dedicated room clears the comfortable estimate at 10 ft. These are this site's model estimates.
The basement and spare bedroom fail on ceiling height; the bedroom also lacks depth. The model is calibrated against SkyTrak, Trackman and Foresight statements. Check with slow swings first; ceiling protection and ball rebound protection remain the owner's responsibility.

Where it costs what
What do Launch Pro and LPi cost?
The Indoor Golf Shop and Bushnell Golf each listed Launch Pro at $2,999.99 on October 19, 2026; Rain or Shine Golf listed $2,999. Bushnell Golf listed the indoor-only LPi at $1,999.99 that day.
GolfBays UK listed Launch Pro at £2,790 on October 19, 2026. Check regional terms before importing: Bushnell says Launch Pro needs an internet connection within the United States at least once every 45 days to use all functions.
LPi lowers the hardware price for an indoor room; check software costs separately.
Against the alternatives
How do nearby alternatives compare?
Similar hardware prices can come with different room-depth requirements and ongoing software bills.
Uneekor listed EYE MINI at $2,999 on October 19, 2026, with subscriptions of $199–$599 a year. Its estimated 16 ft depth needs more room than Launch Pro's estimated 14 ft, despite both sitting beside the ball.
Foresight Sports listed GC3 at $3,999 that day. Its estimated depth is also 14 ft, and a subscription-free GC3 Ball Enabled exists. Compare the Launch Pro and GC3 software terms, not just their shared placement.
| Monitor | Sits | Depth needed | Price | Subscription |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bushnell Launch Pro | Beside the ball | 14′ | $2,999.99 | $199–$595 a year |
| Uneekor EYE MINI | Beside the ball | 16′ | $2,999 | $199–$599 a year |
| Foresight GC3 | Beside the ball | 14′ | $3,999 | 30 days of Foresight+ Gold with Course Pass Pro included; a subscription-free GC3 Ball Enabled exists |
| Uneekor EYE MINI LITE | Beside the ball | 16′ | $1,999 | $199–$599 a year |
Three years of ownership
What does ownership cost over three years?
Using Bushnell Golf's October 19, 2026 hardware listing, this site's three-year estimate is $3,596.99 with Silver or $4,496.99 with Gold. Bushnell lists those memberships at $199 and $499 a year respectively.
The chart's Course Pass addition is not a complete usable package: Bushnell requires Silver or Gold alongside it. The hardware-only line also does not establish subscription-free club data; Bushnell says club data requires a software subscription. A gaming PC for Premiere is not included.
Choose the required membership before treating any course-library addition as a complete ownership total.

Where it goes
Where does it sit for shared play?
The drawing places Launch Pro beside the ball, not behind the golfer. Bushnell does not state that placement in words on the official pages checked, so it should not be presented as a maker quotation.
For left- and right-handed players sharing the room, select both in the calculator. This site's estimate for a 6′2″ golfer needs 13 ft 4 in of width; Bushnell's 6 ft tracking minimum is not a shared-swing allowance.
Shared play needs a room-width check, not just space for the device beside the ball.

Readers ask
Answers use the makers’ figures and the dated prices on this page.
What is the difference between Bushnell Launch Pro and LPi?
Bushnell describes Launch Pro as indoor and outdoor, and LPi as indoor-only with club and ball capability. Bushnell Golf listed them at $2,999.99 and $1,999.99 respectively on October 19, 2026. Club data requires a software subscription.
Can you use Bushnell Launch Pro without a subscription?
Bushnell lists Basic as free for the first year and requires a credit card even for that option. It also says club data requires a software subscription. Do not assume the hardware price includes continuing access to every function.
Does Bushnell Launch Pro work with GSPro?
Bushnell lists GSPro at $250 a year and says it requires an active Gold membership. Gold is listed at $499 a year, so GSPro is an additional software cost.
Will a Bushnell golf simulator fit an 8 ft ceiling?
For a 5′9″ golfer with a driver, this site's estimate reaches about 9 ft, so the sample basement with an 8 ft ceiling does not fit. Bushnell publishes no minimum ceiling height. Check with slow swings first.
