The space you need

  • TrackMan: a ceiling of about 10 feet, 15 feet of width and about 18 feet of depth.
  • SkyTrak: about 9 feet of ceiling, 12 feet of width and 17 feet of depth.
  • If your swing is tall, check the ceiling first: it's the most common problem.

A commercial bay

TrackMan requires its Commercial edition for a business, which costs more than the home editions. One booking-software company estimates US$10,000 to $75,000 a bay for the simulator equipment alone, across brands.
