Garmin Approach R50 Launch Monitor: Pro-Level Accuracy & Simulator Play

The Garmin Approach R50 is engineered to give golfers an uncompromising blend of precision, realism, and convenience. At its core are three ultra-fast, high-resolution cameras that directly measure both ball and club data with tour-level accuracy. Unlike radar-based systems that struggle indoors, the R50 excels in tight spaces and delivers consistent results across hitting mats, nets, and full simulator bays. Every swing is captured with exceptional clarity, allowing you to analyze launch angle, ball speed, spin rate, spin axis, club speed, and face angles—all without guesswork.

Intuitive 10” Touchscreen Built Right In

No laptop? No problem. With a crisp 10-inch built-in color touchscreen, the Approach R50 acts as an all-in-one, no-PC-required launch monitor and simulator control center. View ball flight, analyze your metrics, watch impact video, change settings, or jump into a simulator round—all from the device itself. The interface is fast, user-friendly, and designed for seamless indoor or outdoor use. This standalone design makes the R50 ideal for home simulators, garage bays, and on-range practice sessions.

Full Training Suite for Meaningful Improvement

The R50 is more than a monitor—it’s a complete performance coach. The Training Mode tracks every club in your bag and compiles essential data into easy-to-read visuals, including shot dispersion charts based on advanced ball-flight modeling. With 250 included club-tracking stickers, golfers can unlock even deeper insights into swing delivery and clubface orientation. Whether you’re dialing in a driver or fine-tuning wedge control, the R50 gives you the tools to improve with purpose.

Play Over 43,000 Courses from Home

Paired with the Garmin Golf app and Home Tee Hero (membership required), you can enjoy virtual rounds on more than 43,000 real-world golf courses—from your living room, garage, or simulator enclosure. Grab up to four players, choose your course, and experience realistic tee-to-green gameplay powered by the R50’s accurate measurements. Prefer other software? The R50 integrates with many popular third-party golf simulator platforms, giving you flexibility to build the ultimate setup.

Built for Convenience and Versatility

Designed to fit effortlessly into any golf environment, the Approach R50 is compact, portable, and ships with a premium carrying case, AC power, and everything you need to get started right away. Indoors or outdoors, casual or competitive, the R50 adapts to your space and style—delivering reliable performance every time you swing.
