The Best SkyTrak and SkyTrak+ Simulator Packages, Reviewed

SkyTrak has spent years near the top of most shortlists when golfers start pricing out a launch monitor. The brand earned that reputation the honest way: dependable accuracy, a price normal people can stomach, and software that does not ask for an engineering degree. Then 2023 arrived with the SkyTrak Plus (ST+), and the company finally gave its loyal base a real reason to upgrade.

A launch monitor on its own only gets you partway, though. The screen you hit into, the mat under your feet, the projector overhead and the software running the show all decide whether your room feels like a real golf bay or a science project. Below we break down the equipment bundles that pair best with SkyTrak so you can build a setup you actually want to play in.

Think of this as a shortcut. We walk through the choices that matter, then hand you the packages we rank highest for getting the most out of a SkyTrak or SkyTrak+.

How Do We Test Golf Simulators?

We put each SkyTrak Plus package through the same wringer, moving it between rooms and judging it against the job it was built to do. The backbone of that work was 200 shots per simulator configuration, which let us line up SkyTrak Plus's standard numbers against the extra features each bundle layers on top. We also dug into software integration quality, paying close attention to how cleanly everything ran with premium platforms like E6 Connect, TGC 2019 and Creative Golf 3D.

Every kit got set up in three room sizes (a tight garage, a mid-sized room and a dedicated golf room) so we could confirm the real minimum space each one needs. We spent extra time on the photometric system's behavior under different lighting, on screen-and-projector pairings, and on net versus impact screen builds, all of which helps match a package to the room you actually have.

Want the full rundown? Read how we put golf sims through their paces.

A Note on the Included Systems: SkyTrak vs. SkyTrak+ Plus

The first-generation SkyTrak arrived in 2014 as one of the earliest launch monitors a regular golfer could actually afford. It leaned on photometric tracking to read the ball-flight numbers that matter, carry distance, ball speed, launch angle and the rest. Pair that sensor with the right simulation software and suddenly a home golf sim stopped being a fantasy reserved for serious hobbyists.

The SkyTrak Plus (ST+) launch monitor pushes the idea further. The 2023 unit pairs dual Doppler radar with photometric sensors, and that combination sharpens accuracy across the board. For the first time a SkyTrak reads full club data, club speed, path, face angle and smash factor, with no need to stick markers on the club head. That extra layer turns raw numbers into swing feedback you can act on. The dual tracking also frees the Plus to work outdoors, something the original never managed as well.

None of that buries the original, though. For a budget-minded buyer the first SkyTrak is still a genuinely good launch monitor. The Plus wins on performance and flexibility, no argument there, yet the older unit delivers plenty for the money and stays a smart pick if your spending has a ceiling.

So we reviewed the bundles around the newer SkyTrak+ and, wherever a maker offers it, listed the matching original SkyTrak version too. The hardware is identical apart from which launch monitor sits in the box.

After plenty of range time, our team settled on the SkyTrak and SkyTrak Plus bundles we think are worth your money.

See the Skytrak+ Pro Package & Reviews ↗

Our number-one pick puts the newest SkyTrak+ hardware in a setup that punches well above its price, holding its own against rigs that cost roughly double.

Tracking is quick and accurate, and the instant feedback makes the room feel like a place you want to keep hitting in, indoors today and out in the yard tomorrow. Plenty of cheaper kits cut corners on parts; this one keeps commercial-grade components while staying realistic for a home.

Launch Monitor

The SkyTrak+ launch monitor anchors the whole build, tucked inside a tough protective shield. It reads the numbers that move your game with the kind of accuracy you would expect from far pricier gear. Some rivals get twitchy on wedge shots, but this unit stays steady from driver down through the short irons, though you may need to nudge your position a little for putts.

Enclosure System

The studio enclosure is built around a heavy-duty impact screen made for daily abuse, wrapped with protective side netting. We did run into a fussy fit at the bottom corners during testing, yet the steel frame kept everything rock-steady. The 12-foot width leaves room for both righties and lefties to swing freely.

Simulation Software

A 30-day trial of the Essential Plan ships in the box, and the software opens up a mix of practice areas and full-course play. You will need an annual subscription to keep going, but the visuals look sharp and the game-improvement tools run deeper than what many competing bundles include.

What's Included

• SkyTrak+ launch monitor with protective shield
• Steel frame enclosure with impact screen and side netting
• Optoma GT1080 HDR DLP projector with mounting hardware
• 5'x5' hitting mat plus custom-sized putting turf
• Ball Wing molded rubber ball tray
• 30-day Essential Plan software trial

Pros

• Pro-shop-grade parts without the pro-shop price
• Comes complete, so there is nothing else to buy
• Reads most clubs cleanly and reliably
• Built to hold up over the long haul
• Tight footprint that fits a normal home

Cons

• Screen tensioning can be finicky
• Customer support could be quicker

Why We Ranked It as the Best All Skytrak Package

This bundle takes the top spot by marrying strong hardware with software that actually works with it. Everything you need is in the box, the SkyTrak+ sensor is the current generation, and the total value is hard to match anywhere else in the home golf sim world.

⛳skytrak plus sig12 impact screen and aluminum frameskytrak plus sig12 impact screen and aluminum frame

Check SkyTrak+ SIG12 Pricing & Reviews ↗

This one blends modern sensing with serious construction. The SkyTrak+ SIG12 turns in tournament-level numbers inside an enclosure that took top honors in MyGolfSpy's Most Wanted series.

The SIG 12 makes sense if you want to keep the spend at four figures or less, squeeze real value from every dollar and have the floor space for a slightly larger bay.

What separates this kit is the dual Doppler radar system, which drops the need for marked balls or club stickers and puts it a step ahead of most rivals in its bracket. The pro-grade enclosure turns a spare room into a virtual range, and the Essential Plan with 15 E6 courses keeps the rotation fresh for a long time.

Launch Monitor

⛳skytrak+ launch monitor capturing ball and club dataskytrak+ launch monitor capturing ball and club data

The SkyTrak+ is a real jump forward thanks to its hybrid tracking. Where older monitors lean only on photometric data, this one pairs dual Doppler radar with high-speed cameras to pin down both ball and club numbers with impressive precision. Against others in the same price band, the added Shot Optimizer feature is the one that hands you instant, usable feedback.

Premium Enclosure System

⛳sig12 golf simulator screen enclosure with foam paddingsig12 golf simulator screen enclosure with foam padding

The SIG12 enclosure shows its quality in the powder-coated aluminum frame and the tight-weave polyester impact screen. It goes past the usual builds with protective foam padding and projects a crisp full-HD image edge to edge. The included landing-pad turf ties the look together and leaves a typical garage rig looking unfinished by comparison.

Simulation Software

⛳e6 connect course selection menue6 connect course selection menu

You start on the Essential Plan with 15 E6 courses, and the lineup is loaded with names like Torrey Pines and Bandon Dunes. The package beats bare-bones sim software by adding eight E6 challenge modes plus a full set of practice tools, and stepping up to the larger plans opens even more courses and features.

What's Included

This kit covers everything a polished simulator setup calls for:

• SkyTrak+ Launch Monitor with protective case
• SIG12 Golf Simulator Enclosure with premium impact screen
• High-performance projector (3,600 lumens) with ceiling mount
• Choice of premium hitting mat options
• Complete cable package including 50' HDMI

• Pro-grade accuracy for committed practice

Cons

• Advanced software features carry an annual subscription

Why We Ranked It as the Best Premium Simulator Enclosure

The SIG12 earns the premium tag on build quality and how well it all fits together. The powder-coated aluminum frame, the pro-grade impact screen and the clean projection surface create a space that looks and feels like a commercial install, which is exactly why it sets the bar for home enclosures.

View SkyTrak+ SwingBay Pricing & Reviews ↗

By teaming dual Doppler radar with a sharper camera system, this package nails the kind of accuracy you usually pay a lot more for. The SwingBay enclosure gives you a premium hitting space, and the upgraded SkyTrak+ pulls in over 20 ball and club metrics with real precision.

The camera works in tandem with the dual Doppler radar to catch everything from ball speed to club path, then feeds it back through a clean, quick interface. This is not a ball-flight-only monitor; it reads the club data too, so you get the full story behind each swing.

Launch Monitor

⛳skytrak+ launch monitor with onboard processorskytrak+ launch monitor with onboard processor

Driven by an onboard processor and 5GHz WiFi, the SkyTrak+ serves up shot analysis almost the instant the ball leaves the face. Ball speed reads from 0-215 mph (±1%), and spin tracks up to 12,000 RPM with ±250 RPM accuracy. The 40% larger hitting area versus standard units keeps the readings dependable no matter which club you grab.

Premium Enclosure System

⛳swingbay golf simulator screen and enclosureswingbay golf simulator screen and enclosure

The SwingBay enclosure comes with a military-grade impact screen and tidy, sturdy construction. The screen keeps the picture clean while shrugging off shot after shot, outlasting and out-looking the typical home screen. Add the included SwingTurf mat, which takes a real tee, and the setup plays a lot like the actual course.

After plenty of side-by-side testing, the SkyTrak+ PerfectBay™ package reads like a premium build that holds up next to commercial rooms. By tying current sensing to high-grade parts, it delivers pro-level results in a form a home can handle.

It shines when you want full shot data without giving up durability. Where cheaper kits leave out a metric or two, the dual Doppler radar works with machine learning to capture everything from ball speed to face angle, which makes it a strong tool for real game improvement.

Launch Monitor

The SkyTrak+ is a clear step up from earlier models. Rather than rely on cameras alone, its dual Doppler radar delivers pro-grade accuracy on both ball and club data.

Premium Enclosure System

Our final pick, and far from the least, brings pro-grade training without a pro-grade budget. It joins accurate shot tracking with instant feedback for a complete practice session.

Past the usual sim features, this bundle leans hard into training. The SkyTrak+ reads the swing numbers that matter while showing real-time visuals, which makes it far more useful than a plain practice net or an entry-level monitor at the same price.

Launch Monitor

The SkyTrak+ captures the core numbers, ball speed, launch angle, spin rate and carry distance. The twist is its double duty: it works as both a precise measuring tool and a personal coach. Real-time data to an iPad or PC lets you adjust on the spot, the kind of feedback you would normally only get in a paid lesson.

Net Configuration

The package gives you unusual flexibility with six net options, from a basic 10'x7' rectangular net up to the premium SIGPRO Net with Screen. Each uses knotless netting for longer life, and the SIGPRO models add side barriers and sandbags for extra stability. All of them work indoors or out.

Simulation Software

Buying Guide: What to Consider in Your Skytrak-Based Golf Simulator?

Buying a SkyTrak-powered simulator means weighing a handful of factors before you land on the right setup. With the lineup running from the original to the newer SkyTrak Plus, plus all the enclosure and software choices on top, the options can pile up fast. Use the guide below to figure out which SkyTrak package will give you the experience you are after.

Launch Monitor Choice: Skytrak or Skytrak +

⛳skytrak plus outdoorskytrak plus outdoor

The first big call is which SkyTrak to run. The newer SkyTrak Plus adds some real upgrades: a faster chip for lag-free data, club numbers like club path and face angle, much better outdoor use in sunlight, and a few extra premium software courses.

That said, the original SkyTrak still puts out very accurate shot data like ball speed, launch angle and shot shape. The lower price keeps it a solid, sensible pick even now that the upgraded model is out.

Look closely at what each one does and decide whether the Plus upgrades are worth the extra spend for you, or whether the original covers what you need.

Simulator Type: Full Setup Vs. Retractable Vs. Net Practice System

You will also need to settle on the kind of hitting setup and enclosure you want.

Packages like the SkyTrak Plus PerfectBay come with full screen enclosures for a more lifelike, immersive room. The enclosure wraps the hitting area and lets your shots project onto the screen, which sells the feeling of real golf.

Retractable setups like the Skytrak Plus Garage Package let you use the space for golf without giving it up entirely. The screens drop in seconds and roll back out of the way when you are done, and the mats can be rolled up and stored too.

Then there are the cheaper net setups like the SkyTrak Plus Practice package, which still let you play simulator golf for a lot less. The net catches your shots while the data and visuals show up on a connected tablet or computer.

Weigh your space, budget and how much realism you want when you choose between net and screen.

Simulation Software: Basic Driving Range Vs. Game Improvement Vs. Play & Improve Vs. 3rd-Party Software

The software plan in the box shapes the experience too. Basic plans stick mostly to driving-range practice, while upgrades like Play & Improve add more realism and more to do.

That covers playing full rounds on famous digital courses, tracking your skills through performance numbers, and jumping into mini-game modes for contests and challenges.

There is also a healthy list of third-party software that works with SkyTrak, including TGC2019, E6 Connect, Creative Golf 3D and Awesome Golf, all of which connect through SkyTrak's site and interface. If you plan to run third-party software, keep in mind that an active Game Improvement Plan or Play & Improve Plan license is required. Unless you specifically want WGT and its courses, we suggest saving the cash and going with the Game Improvement Plan, which costs less and still allows third-party integration.

Before you commit, think hard about whether you care more about focused skills work or a fully immersive virtual round.

Simulator Size & Available Space

Measure the largest dimensions your potential simulator space can give up. Full enclosures usually want around 9' high x 12' wide x 16' deep, but you can scale down if you have to.

Tighter screen options like the SIG8 enclosure are built for smaller rooms. Know your limits before you pick a package. The old rule on sim rooms still holds: the bigger, the better.

Budget

With full SkyTrak sim packages running from a few thousand dollars to north of ten thousand, it pays to set a cap you are comfortable with and shop inside it.

Financing can spread the cost over time instead of all at once. Put your money toward the features that matter most to your goals, and hunt for deals on the lower-priority add-ons.

Our go-to financing options from the big online retailers include Rain Or Shine Golf, Top Shelf Golf, Playbetter and Shop Indoor Golf.

With a little research and planning, a custom SkyTrak package can change your game without draining your savings. Keep your needs, space, budget and priorities front of mind, and the right setup will become obvious.

Frequently Asked Questions

To make the SkyTrak and SkyTrak Plus decision easier, we have pulled together answers to the questions we field most. From the gap between the two models to software compatibility and setup needs, this section hits the points that come up again and again.

What are the main differences between the SkyTrak and SkyTrak Plus launch monitors?

The SkyTrak Plus (SkyTrak+) is the upgraded take on the original SkyTrak launch monitor. The big changes are sharper photometric technology, faster processing, better accuracy and the addition of club-head data. The SkyTrak+ hands you more detailed swing and ball-flight numbers, which makes for a fuller simulation experience.

Can I use SkyTrak golf simulators both indoors and outdoors?

Yes, SkyTrak units work indoors and out. Still, you get the best results in controlled lighting. Outdoors, stick to shaded spots and keep it out of direct sun, which can throw off the photometric sensors.

Which software packages are compatible with SkyTrak and SkyTrak Plus?

SkyTrak and SkyTrak Plus play with several simulation platforms, including E6 Connect, The Golf Club 2019, World Golf Tour (WGT) and Creative Golf 3D. Each one brings its own courses, game modes and skill challenges to your sessions.

How accurate are the SkyTrak and SkyTrak Plus launch monitors compared to other brands?

Both are known for high accuracy that holds up against far pricier pro-grade monitors. They report precise ball speed, launch angle, backspin, sidespin and carry distance. The SkyTrak+ pushes accuracy further with upgraded sensors and the added club-head data.

What space and equipment do I need to set up a SkyTrak simulator at home?

Plan on a space at least 10 feet wide, 10 feet long and 8 feet high. The basics are the SkyTrak or SkyTrak Plus launch monitor, a hitting mat, a net or impact screen, a compatible device like a tablet or PC, and a projector if you want to display the simulation.

Are there financing options available to purchase SkyTrak packages?

Yes, plenty of retailers and online stores finance SkyTrak packages. Plans often include monthly payments with approved credit, which makes a home simulator easier to swing without a big lump sum upfront. We list the top online retailers in the buying guide above, and they all offer rates as low as 0%.

Final Thoughts

With SkyTrak's next-generation Plus monitor now out, golfers have an even stronger yet still affordable way to build a quality simulator.

This guide laid out top-rated bundles for both SkyTrak models, from portable net enclosures to full-screen and projector rooms, so there is a fit for a range of budgets and spaces.

Think through your goals, your software needs and your budget before you settle on a package. It is an investment, sure, but being able to sharpen your game whenever you like and tee it up on world-famous courses is well worth it.

And if you are weighing options beyond SkyTrak, Uneekor golf simulator packages include some of the most advanced gear out there, with choices to suit different budgets and room sizes.
