SkyTrak+ Simulator Package: BYO, Essentials or Complete?
The SkyTrak+ package is the cheapest complete projected studio we list. The SkyTrak+ has been replaced by the ST MAX, so PlayBetter is clearing remaining stock at a big discount. PlayBetter sells it in three SimStudio packages from $2,495 to $2,995. At these prices, skip BYO: Essentials starts at the same price and adds the mat and projector.
PlayBetter is an affiliate partner: we may earn a commission if you buy through the links on this page, at no extra cost to you. It does not change our 91/100 score for the SkyTrak+.

Check the SkyTrak+ Complete at PlayBetter ↗SkyTrak+ Complete: $2,995 · checked Oct 17, 2026Enclosure, screen, mat and projector without the turf and side barriers. Good where the walls need little protection.
Check the SkyTrak+ Essentials at PlayBetter ↗SkyTrak+ Essentials: $2,495 · checked Oct 17, 2026Worth it when you already have a projector and a good mat; buying them separately usually costs more than the gap to the next tier.
Check the SkyTrak+ BYO at PlayBetter ↗SkyTrak+ BYO: $2,495 · checked Oct 17, 2026Which SimStudio size fits your room?
The SkyTrak+ sits beside the ball, so it needs less depth than radar. Pick the largest enclosure that leaves about 1 ft of width, 6 in of height and 1 ft of depth spare; our room checker uses the same margins.
| Enclosure | Enclosure size | Room to start with | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| SimStudio 8 | 8 ft W × 7 ft 6 in H × 4 ft D | 9 ft+ wide, 8 ft+ ceiling, 10 ft+ deep | Spare rooms and tight basements; check the driver swing |
| SimStudio 10 | 10 ft W × 8 ft 6 in H × 5 ft 4 in D | 11 ft+ wide, 9 ft+ ceiling, 10 ft+ deep | Most one-car garage bays |
| SimStudio 12 | 12 ft W × 8 ft 6 in H × 5 ft 4 in D | 13 ft+ wide, 9 ft+ ceiling, 10 ft+ deep | Wider garages; easier mixed-handed setups |
| SimStudio 13 Deep | 13 ft W × 10 ft H × 10 ft D | 14 ft+ wide, 10 ft 6 in+ ceiling, 11 ft+ deep | Dedicated rooms and families |
These are enclosure sizes, not safety certification. The tallest golfer’s full swing, the hitting position and the projector throw decide whether the room works. Check your room →

Questions buyers ask
How much is a SkyTrak+ golf simulator package?
PlayBetter lists the SkyTrak+ SimStudio packages from $2,495 (Essentials) to $2,995 (Complete), checked Oct 17, 2026. With an illustrative 8% sales tax the Complete package is about $3,230. The package includes one year of Foresight course play. After that, plan $299.99 a year (Core: Foresight) for course play or $129.99 (Essential) for practice only.
Do you need a PC for a SkyTrak+ simulator?
You need a PC or Mac to run the SkyTrak software on the projector. GSPro and other third-party software need a capable Windows PC and the right SkyTrak membership.
What size room does a SkyTrak+ package need?
Plan for at least 10 ft of usable depth and a ceiling that clears your driver swing; the smallest SimStudio enclosure is 8 ft wide × 7 ft 6 in high × 4 ft deep. Most garages suit the SimStudio 10 (10 ft wide × 8 ft 6 in high). Check your exact room with our room checker before ordering.
Is the SkyTrak+ BYO package cheaper overall?
Only if you already own a projector and hitting mat. BYO is $500 less than Complete, but a mat ($300–$600) and projector ($700–$1,200) bought separately usually cost more than that.
Can left- and right-handed golfers share a SkyTrak+ package?
Yes, but the SkyTrak+ sits beside the ball and has to be moved to the other side for a left-hander. Choose a wider enclosure (SimStudio 12 or 13 Deep) if players alternate often.
How we handle retailer links
Golf Gear Lab’s scores are editorial. Our 91/100 SkyTrak+ score is a research-based assessment of published specifications, independent tests and ownership costs; we have not tested the SkyTrak+ or these packages ourselves. PlayBetter is an affiliate partner, so we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. Prices change often; the price on PlayBetter at checkout is the one that counts.
