In this video I keep it practical and fast: what’s in the box, how to set it up in an indoor sim space, where to place it, how to connect to an external display, and show the various settings and data it provides.

What I’m covering today (Indoor Golf Simulator Setup Focus)

Why the R50 is different

True all-in-one experience (built-in screen — no phone/tablet required just to get going)

3-camera system + impact video (great for quick feedback)

Built-in barometer so you can practice at your elevation easily.

Home Tee Hero course play including 43,000 course & new 2026 Enhanced courses with on-course practice now available.

⚠️ Note: Some simulator/course features (like Home Tee Hero 43,000+ courses) require an active Garmin Golf membership which is $9.99 per month.
