Your ceiling is tight for a full swing. 0 fit, 22 tight, 1 won’t fit. Foresight GCQuad: tight.

How deep, step by step
How much depth does GCQuad need?
Treat 14 ft as a planning estimate, not a maker-approved room depth.
The calculator’s 14 ft minimum is this site’s estimate, not Foresight’s room recommendation. It combines Foresight’s 1 ft gap behind the screen, an assumed 8 ft ball-to-screen distance and about 5 ft for the backswing.
Foresight publishes no GCQuad ball-to-screen distance on the pages checked. The calculator allows 10 ft for that gap in its comfortable setup, bringing estimated room depth to 16 ft.
Gap behind the screen
1′Foresight: “1 foot from back wall to projector screen”.
Ball to screen
8′Foresight 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.
Room depth
14′–16′Minimum to comfortable, by this site’s estimate.
In the maker’s words
What room size does Foresight recommend?
Foresight recommends 12–15 ft of width and 15–18 ft of depth. That depth range is separate from the calculator’s estimated minimum. The maker says extra width supports right- and left-handed players.
Foresight says to aim for a 10 ft ceiling, while another statement says 9 ft works for many; the calculator uses the stricter 10 ft recommendation. Its 8.5 ft guidance is for irons only. These are recommendations and qualifications, not interchangeable clearance promises.
Use Foresight’s recommended room dimensions alongside the swing estimate, not as a substitute for checking your swing.
| What | Figure | In the maker’s words |
|---|---|---|

| Ceiling height for irons only | 8.5 ft | Eight and a half feet is possible for irons only.foresightsports.com |

Will it fit
Will GCQuad fit your room?
Ceiling height stops the basement setup before the launch monitor’s position matters.
For a 5′9″ golfer using a driver, this site’s model marks the garage as tight and the dedicated room as fitting. The basement fails on ceiling height. The spare bedroom fails on ceiling height and depth.
These are estimates, not measurements. The swing model is calibrated on SkyTrak, Trackman and Foresight statements. Enter your dimensions in the room calculator, then check with slow swings first. Ceiling protection and ball rebound remain the owner’s call.

Where it costs what
Where does GCQuad cost less?
Foresight Sports, The Indoor Golf Shop, Rain or Shine Golf and GolfBays each listed GCQuad at $15,999 on October 19, 2026. There was no price difference among these listings on that date.
For a British purchase, GolfBays UK listed it at £16,788 on October 19, 2026. That is a separate market listing, not a currency conversion or a US delivered price.
The checked US listings match; compare what each purchase includes before choosing a seller.
Against the alternatives
How do nearby alternatives compare?
Overhead placement changes the hitting-area layout, but does not automatically reduce room depth.
Foresight Sports listed Falcon at $16,999 on October 19, 2026. Trackman listed iO at $13,995 on October 17, 2026. Both mount overhead, unlike GCQuad’s beside-ball placement.
This site estimates 14 ft of depth for Falcon and 16 ft for iO and Uneekor EYE XO2. Uneekor lists subscriptions at $199–$599 a year; Trackman requires a current software license for Virtual Golf but publishes no price on the pages checked.
| Monitor | Sits | Depth needed | Price | Subscription |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foresight GCQuad | Beside the ball | 14′ | $15,999 | 30 days of Foresight+ Gold with Course Pass Pro included |
| Foresight Falcon | Ceiling | 14′ | $16,999 | Not published |
| Trackman iO | Ceiling | 16′ | $13,995 | Virtual Golf needs an up-to-date software license; price not published on the pages checked |
| Uneekor EYE XO2 | Ceiling | 16′ | $10,999 | $199–$599 a year |
Three years of ownership
What will three years cost?
The chart’s $15,999 is the GCQuad hardware price listed by Foresight Sports on October 19, 2026, not a complete three-year simulator budget. Foresight includes 30 days of Foresight+ Gold with Course Pass Pro.
Foresight names FSX Play as its native platform, but publishes no GCQuad subscription price on the pages checked. A paid-software total cannot therefore be calculated. Do not read the hardware-only figure as confirmation that ongoing software is free.
Ask for software renewal costs before treating the hardware price as your ownership budget.

Where it goes
Where does GCQuad sit?
The planning drawing places GCQuad beside the ball, leaving no monitor behind the golfer. Foresight does not state that placement in words on the official pages checked.
For left-handed play, plan the device position and swing clearance together rather than assuming an unchanged layout. For a shared room, Foresight’s width guidance says more width supports both right- and left-handed players.
Allow for the player and device around the ball, especially when both handednesses share the room.
