The full guide: Garage golf simulator guide
This is the garage golf simulator GSV built in 2024 around a G-TRAK: a motorized impact screen that mounts on the existing garage door tracks, comes down in front of the closed door to play, and rolls up on a remote so the car can park. GSV paired it with a Foresight GC3 beside the ball and a BenQ LH820ST projector. Jay Lasco, host of Golf Simulator Videos, put it up, tested the noise and bounce back, and filmed the screen going up and down. Here is every part, how it installs, what stood out, the G-TRAK sizes and prices, and the parts in each spot today.

Every part in the build
| Part | What GSV used | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Screen | G-TRAK retractable impact screen | On the garage door tracks, with a remote |
| Surround | G-TRAK netting and padding | Tied to the floor with anchors |
| Launch monitor | Foresight GC3 | Beside the ball |
| Projector | BenQ LH820ST | Short-throw laser |
How it installs
- Join the poles and the brackets.
- Lift the assembly onto the garage door rails. Jay recommends two people for this, for safety.
- Zip-tie the screen to it, then hang the surround netting and the padding.
- Run ropes from the bottom to the floor anchors.
The motor slides into the roller tube and plugs in on a long cable. For the floor, G-TRAK supplies screw-in plates or 3M adhesive circles with suction cups, which hold strongly, and sandbags, which Jay did not need. In hindsight he would have set the floor anchors further forward. G-TRAK's brackets fit around the tracks without stopping the door from opening and closing.
Playing, and putting it away
In a big garage that echoes, the screen was quiet, and the ball dropped straight down instead of coming back. Nothing on the frame moved when the ball hit it.
To put it away: unhook the two top ties and the two bottom ropes, move the launch monitor, and press up on the remote. There was plenty of room on both sides, so the screen rolled up without catching. Jay called it maybe the simplest garage golf simulator setup GSV has done, with one caveat: this one was made to fit his own garage, which is unusual, so measure yours first.
G-TRAK sizes and prices
The G-TRAK is sized by the garage door. G-TRAK's list prices, the same at Shop Indoor Golf:
| Garage door | Screen width | List price |
|---|---|---|
| 8 ft | 7 ft | $1,999.99 |
| 9 ft | 8 ft | $2,199.99 |
| 10 ft | 8 ft | $2,399.99 |
| 16 ft | 10 ft | $2,499.99 |
| 16 ft | 12 ft | $2,749.99 |
| 16 ft | 14 ft | $2,999.99 |
By G-TRAK, it is made for 96 to 103 in from the floor to the bottom of the door rail, fits single-roller doors and runs on 110 V. A Wall Mount Kit, $199.99, hangs it on a wall where there is no garage door. Shop Indoor Golf also sells garage packages with a G-TRAK, a launch monitor, a landing pad and cables. The retractable golf simulator screen guide sets the G-TRAK beside the screens that hang from the ceiling.

The launch monitor for a G-TRAK garage
The GC3 sits beside the ball, so it needs no room behind the golfer, which matters in a garage that still parks a car. A Square Golf, a Garmin R50 or a SkyTrak ST MAX does the same. A radar behind the ball, like a Garmin R10, needs more depth. In 2026 the GC3 was $6,999 at Shop Indoor Golf, and GSV's code GSV5OFF takes 5% off a first order there. The garage golf simulator guide covers depth, doors and cars.

G-TRAK garage build questions
What is the G-TRAK?
A motorized impact screen that mounts on the existing garage door tracks. It comes down in front of the closed door to play and rolls up on a remote so the car can park.
How do you install a G-TRAK?
Join the poles and brackets, lift them onto the garage door rails with two people, zip-tie the screen on, hang the netting and padding, and run ropes from the bottom to the floor anchors. The motor slides into the roller tube and plugs in.
How much is a G-TRAK?
G-TRAK lists it from $1,999.99 for an 8 ft door with a 7 ft screen to $2,999.99 for a 16 ft door with a 14 ft screen, the same at Shop Indoor Golf, where GSV250 takes $250 off.
What garage doors does the G-TRAK fit?
By G-TRAK, it is made for 96 to 103 in from the floor to the bottom of the door rail, fits single-roller doors and runs on 110 V. A Wall Mount Kit, $199.99, hangs it on a wall where there is no garage door.
Is the G-TRAK quiet?
In Jay's test, in a big garage that echoes, the screen was quiet and the ball dropped straight down instead of coming back.
What launch monitor works with a G-TRAK?
One beside the ball, like the Foresight GC3 in this build, a Square Golf, a Garmin R50 or a SkyTrak ST MAX, needs no room behind the golfer. A radar behind the ball needs more depth.
Is there free help planning a garage simulator?
Yes. Jay offers a free consultation with GSV's partner master builders, hand-picked by Jay, who check that the screen, the launch monitor, the projector and the garage fit, and offer package deals, DIY packages and full installation.
