I like how easy it is to use. The only thing I wish it had instructions on how to understand the data it creates. I had to go and talk to our Pro at our golf shop.

Garmin Approach R10 DIY Enclosure Golf Simulator
Snow on the driveway, a Tuesday night, and you are still hitting driver, with the Garmin Approach R10 set up behind the ball. Choose the screen size, mat and projector here, watch the build take shape in 3D at real size, and check out without waiting on a quote.
The Garmin Approach R10 DIY Enclosure Golf Simulator starts with the Garmin Approach R10 launch monitor, a Carl's Place DIY screen and enclosure in six sizes and four screen grades, and the Optoma ZW351ST-B short-throw laser projector. Frame pipe, hitting mat and ceiling mount are sold separately; add all three on this page in one tap. Every pick updates the price and the 3D view, and the whole build goes to your cart as one package. It is for the golfer who wants one order for the whole room instead of sourcing a screen, frame, mat and projector separately.

Carl's Place DIY Enclosure
The Carl's Place DIY Golf Simulator Enclosure builds a clean, fully contained hitting bay. Every kit ships with the impact screen, enclosure panels and steel fittings, starting on the Standard screen. The pipe framing kit, foam inserts, 8' net wall extensions and safety baffle are sold separately. BlackStop light-absorbing fabric keeps the picture bright with less bounce-back.
Room minimum, to the inch. Width is Carl's overall frame plus a 3 in buffer on each side; height is the frame plus 3 in above; depth is 1 ft behind the screen, 10 ft from the screen to the ball (the closest Carl's says to hit from) and 7 ft behind the tee, Carl's Place's figure for a full driver swing and within Garmin's 6 to 8 ft for the Approach R10, which is 18 ft 0 in for every size. Figures are rounded up to the next inch.

Hitting mat
The hitting mat is sold separately. The builder offers the Real Feel Country Club Elite Golf Mat, 5'W x 5'L; its long, dense fibers let you swing down and through the turf the way you would off a fairway, it takes a real wooden tee, and the base absorbs the strike so your joints do not.
Three Fiberbuilt mats are offered there too:
- Fiberbuilt Performance Turf Tee Box Mat, 8'W x 4'L
- Fiberbuilt 7'x4' Grass Series Single-Hitting Studio Mat
- Fiberbuilt 9'x4' Grass Series Center-Hitting Studio Mat (right- and left-handed)
Optional: Tour Golf Landing Pad
The Tour Landing Pad cushions and quiets balls dropping off the screen, keeps them from scuffing the floor, and bridges the gap between the mat and the enclosure. The builder offers the width that matches your bay, always 8 ft long:
- 9'W x 8'L for the 8'W enclosure
- 11'W x 8'L for the 10'W enclosure
- 11.5'W x 8'L for the 10.5'W enclosure
- 12.5'W x 8'L for the 11.5'W enclosure
- 13'W x 8'L for the 12'W enclosure
- 14'W x 8'L for the 13'W enclosure

Projector and ceiling mount
The Optoma ZW351ST-B is the included projector: 3,600 lumens, a 30,000-hour DuraCore laser with no bulb to replace, and a 0.521:1 short throw, so it mounts close to the screen and out of the swing. Seven BenQ short-throw projectors are available in the builder, from the 1080p TH671ST to the 5,100-lumen 4K LK936ST, and the ceiling mount switches to the right model for whichever projector you choose. Remove the projector and the mount goes with it. The projector calculator shows the mount distance for your screen size.
- Optoma ZW351ST-B 3600-Lumen WXGA Laser (0.521:1 throw), included
- BenQ TH671ST 3000-Lumen 1080p (0.69-0.83:1 throw)
- BenQ AH30ST 3000-Lumen 1080p LED (0.69-0.83:1 throw)

- BenQ LK936ST 5100-Lumen 4K Laser (0.81-0.89:1 throw)

Optional: SurfThing gaming computer and touch screen
Simulation software such as GSPro needs a gaming-class computer, and the one you pick here arrives ready for it. SurfThing builds them for golf simulation: 32GB DDR5, a 2TB SSD and an NVIDIA RTX 50-series GPU, in a desktop tower or a laptop. With the desktop PC, add the SurfThing DT2424H 23.8-inch touch screen to start rounds, review data and scrub swing video without walking back to a keyboard. It is not offered with the laptop, which has its own screen.
- SurfThing Enhanced Level PC: Core Ultra 5 with RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD
- SurfThing Enhanced Level Laptop: Core Ultra 9 with RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD

Which Enclosure Fits the Garmin Approach R10?
Garmin places the Approach R10 6 to 8 ft behind the tee and asks for 8 ft from the tee to the net.
Net
No wall or enclosure mounting is needed: the Approach R10 goes on the floor 6 to 8 ft behind the tee and the net catches the shot. Garmin asks for 8 ft from the tee to the net; check the specific net you pick for its own frame depth.
Floating Screen
Every width of the Net Return Floating Screen Simulator Bay stands 8 ft 6 in tall and 3 ft 6 in deep and can sit 6 in from a wall. The Approach R10 goes on the floor 6 to 8 ft behind the tee.
DIY Enclosure
The Carl's DIY kit needs 18 ft 0 in of room depth with the Approach R10 behind the ball, up from 16 ft 0 in on its own.
Pro Enclosure
The Pro enclosure needs at least 16 ft 0 in of room depth on its own, and 18 ft with the Approach R10 behind the ball. The frame is free-standing, so it needs no wall or ceiling mount of its own.
Curved Screen
Same 18 ft as the Pro Enclosure, both up from 16 ft 0 in on their own with the Approach R10 behind the ball.
Built-In Screen
Carl's plans a Built-In room as 12 in behind the screen for buffer space plus 6 in to install the flaps, at least 10 ft from the screen and 7 ft of swing room in every direction. The Approach R10 sits on the floor 6 to 8 ft behind the tee.
Our pick: the Carl's DIY kit, our best seller, at 18 ft 0 in of room depth with the Approach R10 behind the ball, or the Floating Screen, which minimizes bounce-back for tighter rooms.

We're proud to say we are an Authorized Dealer/Distributor for all the brands we carry. Your launch monitor, projector and computer are covered by their manufacturer's warranty from the date of the original purchase, subject to its conditions and limitations. Carl's Place screens and enclosure materials are wearable goods, so they do not carry a warranty. Some marking and wear from the first sessions is normal, and how long a screen lasts depends on skill level, how often you play and how it is installed. If something looks unusual rather than like normal wear, send us photos and your order number and we will take it up with Carl's Place.
Impact screens can be returned unused, but not once they have been hit. Because fit and material choice matter, measure your space before ordering.
We want you to be happy with your purchase and enjoy it for many years to come. If you decide you want to return your product, we will gladly assist you in the process. Please inspect your purchase when your package arrives. Product received damaged must be noted with the freight carrier at time of delivery. Contact us immediately no later than 24 hours from delivery time to report the damage. We cannot accept responsibility for a damaged shipment if it is not noted as such on the freight carrier's delivery receipt. Damage must be noted at the time of delivery.
