Anyone have experience with one? Pulled the trigger today as they have a Father's Day sale that saved me a few hundred. Reviews look pretty promising. Already have a mat and net to hit into, but hate not having flight, especially with my driver. A GolfTec I occasionally hit up actually put these in replacing what they had before. I thought the software was pretty solid. Once I realized that's what they were using it was easy to pull the trigger.

I'll be able to play the following courses:
Royal St. George's
The Olympic Club
Merion
Kiawah Island Ocean
Congressional
Bethpage Black
Pinehurst No. 2
Bandon Dunes
Chambers Bay

Have a few more available for 9 holes only. Plus full range options to dial in carry distances.

I believe you can also use The Golf Club (TGC) and Perfect Golf software with the SkyTrak.

The deal has one year of TGC included, which is those courses I mentioned. Lots of other options (and costs) coming out.

I've been following these for about a year now and from what I can tell they're the best value on the market. Some complain about software glitches but overall it's the best thing you can buy without having to finance it for 30 years.

Try to keep us updated if you don't mind. This is of great interest to me.

I'm in the process of building a golf simulator using a GC2, and plan to play The Golf Club and hopefully Perfect Golf also (although it's not officially supported). I chose the GC2 over SkyTrak because overall it had better reviews and a better track record, but for the cost, it seems like SkyTrak is a very good product that I would assume you'll be happy with.

Very nice! I am setting up a sim with the Foresight GC2. I just have the Foresight software for now, but understand that TGC and Perfect Golf will work with it as well. Will be interested in hearing how you Skytrak works.

I skipped the Foresight software, but had to pay an 'SDK' fee in order to use TGC/Protee with it. Kind of a ripoff.

I've been wondering if I should have skipped it as well. I should be up and running in about a week, so I'll see how the FSX software works then and decide on TGC.
beb06

Awesome! Mine will be up and running in about 2 weeks hopefully. Currently getting things re-arranged in my garage, building my PC, etc. while I wait for par2pro.com to get my order finished and shipped.

I bought my GC2 and HQ2 screen from par2pro. Cory was nice to deal with. I'm sewing my screen material right now.
beb06

I ordered a lot of stuff from them (GC2, TGC/Protee software, screen, side nets on tracks, ceiling net, turf, trustrike mat). Definitely impressed with their customer service so far.

I spent most of the day Thursday and Friday getting my simulator built in the garage. It was a lot more work to get it installed than I was anticipating, but so worth it.

My GC2 works with no issues with Perfect Golf.

A couple photos and videos of the installation and finished product:

Very nice! Love the setup and it was pretty responsive as well!
beb06
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes, the responsiveness has been great. Not much delay at all.

What's the ball park cost of a setup like that?

All in with the GC2, turf, hitting mat, nets, impact screen, projector, new gaming pc, etc. it was close to 15K. Could do significantly cheaper if you go with a SkyTrak instead of GC2, or if you can find a used GC2 somewhere.

I went from.."man that would be cool to do" to "my wife would kill me" in a hurry.

My wife wasn't exactly thrilled with squeezing her parking space, but she thought it was pretty cool once finished.

I am building my indoor golf sim now. Gonna go cheap-arse first with the clubtracker, Optishot ($300), and then possible upgrade to a Skytrack. I am very suprised the rest of the golf world is not racing to build more Sky Track-like products (i.e. cheaper ball trackers). It seems the technology and market demand would dovetail really nicely. My Colombian Wife has allowed me to build it directly behind the kitchen. She loves the short throw (Big Screen 10ftx8ft screen) HD Optoma Projector I have installed. Can't wait till I am hitting real balls into it......the screen and my wife.

Any update on how it went and cost?
AgLA06
How long do you want to ignore this user?
What did your final cost look like. Are you happy with it?

I am interested to see where this goes also. I always wanted to have one but with only 8.5-9' ceilings i didn't do it. I have considered garage but it gets so hot in Texas. I think in the long run it would save versus going to driving range, fuel, etc.

Will be following this.

I'm buying one.

And no I don't need wife's approval.

I told her I'm buying it.

Any updates?

On sale for $1695. With protective case and subscription, I think RockBottom has it for $1944.

Not going to set up indoor yet since I'm looking to move. Probably garage or deck. Primary interest is to be able to hit balls at home in the winter and also to correct my hook spin.

I know this isn't the update you want but once I get it, I will provide update.

Been considering one of these also and would be interested in any insight/updates from any who have one.
