Golf Net with Launch Monitor Bundles
A net and mat with a launch monitor is the lowest-cost way to practice with shot data indoors. There is no screen or projector, so you see results on a phone or tablet.
At a glance
The two net bundles we track pair a SwingNet Pro 7x7 net and a SwingTurf mat with a Garmin R10 ($1,499) or Rapsodo MLM2PRO ($1,599) at Rain or Shine Golf. Both monitors sit behind the ball and need about 14–14.5 ft of depth per the makers.

FAQ
Can you build a golf simulator for under $2,000?
Yes. As of October 10, 2026, Shop Indoor Golf lists a Garmin R10 SIG DIY Studio Package (R10, impact screen and enclosure kit) at $1,449.98 and a Rapsodo MLM2PRO version at $1,649.98. You still need frame pipe from a hardware store, a display (TV, tablet or projector) and possibly a mat, and plans or software can add $100 to $250 or more per year.
What is the cheapest way to build a golf simulator?
A launch monitor, a net and a mat is the cheapest working setup: Rain or Shine Golf's Garmin R10 Practice Bundle is $1,499 with the R10, a SwingNet Pro net and a SwingTurf mat. Course play on a screen adds a display and, for Garmin's Home Tee Hero, a Garmin Golf membership ($99.99/yr or $9.99/mo per Garmin).
How much room do I need for a golf simulator under $2,000?
The budget bundles here use behind-the-ball units. Garmin specifies the R10 6 to 8 ft behind the ball with at least 8 ft to the net, and Rapsodo specifies the MLM2PRO 6.5 to 8.5 ft behind the ball plus 8 ft to the net, so plan on about 14 to 16.5 ft of depth before screen clearance. Rain or Shine Golf lists a 9'W x 12'D x 8'H footprint for the net bundles themselves.
Is a golf simulator package or a DIY build cheaper under $2,000?
At this budget the DIY studio packages are the cheapest screen setups we found, because the retailer leaves out the frame pipe. Buying parts separately can work for a camera unit: a Square Golf HE ($699) plus a Carl's Place DIY Kit ($1,149.95) is $1,848.95 before a mat and pipe.
