Square Golf (Home Edition)

Square Golf · indoor only · spin measured

The short answer

The Square Golf (Home Edition) is a camera-based (photometric) launch monitor that sits on the floor beside the ball, facing the golfer. It measures spin directly. Because it reads the ball beside the tee, it needs no ball-flight distance behind it — about 13.5–15.5 ft of depth is enough for a screen setup. At $699 from Square Golf, the seller lists no required subscription.

Good fit if

  • Your room is short — no ball-flight distance is needed behind the unit
  • Measured spin matters to you (wedges, shot shaping, fitting)
  • You want to avoid a required annual subscription

Look elsewhere if

  • You want to take it to the driving range — it is indoor-only
  • Left- and right-handed golfers share the room — it has to be moved between them

Room size: will the Square Golf (Home Edition) fit?

The Square Golf (Home Edition) sits on the floor beside the ball, facing the golfer. Camera units read the ball at impact, so the room depth only has to cover the golfer, safe ball-to-screen distance and a gap behind the screen.

DimensionWhat to plan forHow it's worked out
Depth, screen to back wall13.5 ft minimum · 15.5 ft comfortable1 ft screen gap + 8–10 ft ball to screen + 4.5 ft behind the ball for the backswing
Width, right-handed only11 ft minimum · 13 ft comfortableSwing arc on both sides of the golfer plus the unit beside the ball
Width, left- and right-handed13 ft minimumCentered hitting area so either stance fits

FOREference calculationEstimated ceiling = golfer height + driver length × sin 45° + mat height + a safety margin. Steep, upright swings need more; test with a practice swing before you buy. Run your own numbers.

Building a simulator around it

Side-of-ball units sit on the golfer's facing side, so left-handed golfers must move the unit to the other side of the ball — plan a hitting area and mat that leave room on both sides.

What else a full simulator needs

  • An impact screen and enclosure (or a net for practice without course play) — see enclosures & screens
  • A short-throw projector matched to your screen shape — see the throw calculator
  • A hitting mat whose surface sits level with the unit, since it reads the ball from beside the tee — see mats & turf
