Three builds
How much should you budget?
Price the equipment first, then add the selected plan for the years you expect to use it.
This site's mid-build estimate is £3,248, using the Rapsodo MLM2PRO with an enclosure, mat and projector. It combines Rapsodo UK's monitor price with GolfBays UK and MIA Golf Technology catalogue quartiles checked on 19 October 2026.
These are upfront equipment estimates, not complete three-year costs. Rapsodo and Trackman memberships are excluded from the build figures. Use the calculator to compare your chosen parts and plan over your ownership period; do not read the equipment total as a subscription-inclusive price.

Each part
Which parts take the most money?
The projector can change the budget more than the mat. Across GolfBays UK and MIA Golf Technology on 19 October 2026, the median of 30 projectors was £1,800 rounded; the median of 11 hitting mats was £249.
Check the contents before comparing enclosure prices. GolfBays UK's SimBox replacement screens explicitly exclude the enclosure, while MIA Golf Technology also lists replacement screens. A screen-only listing is not a complete frame-and-screen budget.
Compare included parts, not just catalogue categories, before committing money to an enclosure.
| Part | In stock | Lower quartile | Median | Upper quartile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Impact screens | 9 | £200 | £300 | £785 |
| Enclosure kits | 12 | £774 | £1,230 | £3,479 |
| Hitting mats | 11 | £214 | £249 | £306 |
| Projectors | 30 | £1,219 | £1,800 | £2,753 |
| Simulator packages | 41 | £1,539 | £2,439 | £6,550 |
Monitors in pounds
What does a launch monitor cost?
Choose a monitor that fits the room before choosing the screen and projector.
The Shot Scope LM1 was listed by GolfBays UK at £194.99 on 19 October 2026. That is the lowest monitor price in the chart, not the price of a complete simulator.
Room fit can narrow the shortlist before price does. Garmin says the Approach R10 sits behind the ball; SkyTrak says the SkyTrak+ sits beside it. Compare launch monitor placement before spending the rest of the budget around a unit.
Not in the total
What sits outside the total?
Installation, a PC, flooring and padding, tax and shipping sit outside the calculator total. A PC is needed for most course software, so check that requirement before treating the parts total as your spending limit.
Keep these costs separate until you have quotes and delivery charges. Ceiling clearance and ball-rebound protection remain the owner's call; check with slow swings first before committing to the room arrangement.
The calculator prices selected equipment and plans, not a finished room ready for play.

Can I reduce golf simulator cost without a projector?

Which launch monitor has the lowest UK price here?
The Shot Scope LM1 was listed by GolfBays UK at £194.99 on 19 October 2026. Price alone does not establish which monitor suits your room or software plans.
Are subscriptions included in the build prices?
The mid-build estimate excludes Rapsodo membership, and the Trackman build excludes Trackman membership. Add your selected plan in the calculator rather than treating either upfront figure as the full ownership cost.
