Garmin R50 Golf Simulator - SIG12 Complete Package

The Biggest Screen in the SIG Lineup. 43,000+ Courses Built In. One HDMI Cable to Your Projector.

The Garmin Approach R50 Golf Simulator Bundle — SIG12 is the flagship configuration: the world's first all-in-one launch monitor and simulator paired with the largest enclosure in The Indoor Golf Shop's Signature Series. The SIG12's 14'3" diagonal, 4:3 screen fills 100% of the projected image with no letterboxing, and its 9'4" tall frame gives taller golfers and high-swing players the most overhead clearance in the SIG lineup.

The Garmin Approach R50 runs 43,000+ real-world golf courses directly on its built-in 10" touchscreen and pushes the full simulation to your projector via a single HDMI cable — no PC, no tablet, no external computer. Three high-speed cameras deliver 15 ball and club data points, slow-motion impact video, full putting detection, and GC3-comparable accuracy. Golf Sim Depot founder Kyle Bullard called it a game-changer after extensive testing.

This bundle requires a minimum 10' ceiling. If your space qualifies, select your mat and projector at checkout. Then position the R50, run one HDMI cable, power on, and tee it up.

SIG8 vs. SIG10 vs. SIG12 — Which Enclosure Is Right for You?

Choose SIG8 if space is your primary constraint — fits rooms as narrow as 9' wide. The R50's player profiles handle handedness switching without requiring a wider enclosure.

Choose SIG10 if you have a standard garage or basement (11'+ wide, 9'+ ceiling) and want 100% image fill and the 4'×10' mat option.

Choose this SIG12 bundle if you have 13'+ room width and 10'+ ceilings and want the largest, most immersive simulator experience the SIG Series offers — the biggest screen, the tallest frame, the most space.

Shipping & Returns

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a PC to use this bundle?
No. For Home Tee Hero course play, all you need is the R50 and an HDMI cable to your projector. A PC is only required for third-party software like GSPro or E6 Connect.

What ceiling height does the SIG12 require?
A minimum of 10' ceiling height is required for the SIG12. The R50 is floor-mounted and has no ceiling height requirement of its own — the SIG12's 10' minimum is the governing constraint. Please confirm your finished floor-to-ceiling measurement before ordering. Ceilings of 10'6" or higher are ideal.

How does the R50 connect to the projector?
Via a standard HDMI cable — directly from the R50's HDMI port to the projector. No PC in between. You can show the simulator on the 14'3" screen while keeping shot data on the R50's touchscreen.

Is a 4K projector worth it for the SIG12?
Yes — at 14'3" diagonal, the improvement in sharpness over 1080p is clearly visible. The AK700ST or LK936ST are both strong matches for this screen size.

Do I need a subscription?
Basic range practice and shot data are free. A Garmin Golf membership at $9.99/mo or $99.99/yr is required for full Home Tee Hero course access.

Are club stickers required?
Yes, for club data (face angle, club path, angle of attack, smash factor). 250 stickers are included. All ball data works without stickers.

Can left- and right-handed players use this setup?
Yes. The R50 supports individual player profiles with configurable handedness. The SIG12 also fits the 4'×10' double-sided mat for alternating tee positions at mat level.

Can I use GSPro or E6 Connect?
Yes — via Wi-Fi connection to a PC running the software. A separate PC and software license are required for third-party access beyond Home Tee Hero.

Does the R50 detect putting?
Yes — full putting detection during Home Tee Hero rounds. Compatible with the SIG12 Simulator Flooring option's integrated putting green (4 cup positions).
