SkyTrak+ (ST+): specs, price, and the availability problem

By The Home Golfer editorial team · Last updated September 14, 2026

Read this first

SkyTrak’s own product page for the ST+ now carries the line "This launch monitor is no longer available" above a link to the rest of the range. The current new unit is the SKYTRAK ST MAX at $1,695 on sale against the same $2,995 list, and SkyTrak also lists a certified pre-owned ST+ and a refurbished ST MAX. Anyone shopping for a "SkyTrak+" today is buying pre-owned, old stock at a retailer, or the ST MAX under a different name.

Per the SKYTRAK ST+ launch monitor product page (official) and the SKYTRAK ST MAX launch monitor product page (official), both read on September 14, 2026.

With that out of the way, here is what the unit actually is. The SkyTrak+ is a hybrid (dual doppler radar plus photometric camera) launch monitor listed at $1,995 sale price against a $2,995 list, and its product page names nine ball metrics and five club metrics. It works indoors and outdoors, runs four hours on a charge, and hangs its course play off a four-tier annual membership. Those are all published figures, and every one of them is linked to the page it came from below. We do not test gear ourselves.

This page exists because the searches have not caught up with the product line. People still look for “SkyTrak+” by name, and what they will find is a discontinued SKU, a certified pre-owned listing, and a successor with a different name at a different price. The spec sheet below is still the right reference for a used ST+, and the membership ladder still applies to it.

The published spec sheet

Every row links to where SkyTrak publishes the figure. Where SkyTrak does not publish something, no figure is borrowed from a retailer or a review site.

One gap worth naming: third-party simulator compatibility. Retailers list the ST+ as working with GSPro, E6 Connect and TGC 2019, and we could not find SkyTrak publishing that itself, so this page does not claim it. See our approach.

The membership, tier by tier

Four tiers, and the jump that matters sits between the second and the third. Figures from the SKYTRAK: Your Guide to the New SKYTRAK Memberships (official, 14 Aug 2025).

TierPriceWhat it unlocks
BasicFree with an ST+ purchaseSKYTRAK Driving Range, Sim Club membership, PinSeeker closest-to-the-pin tournaments
Essential$129.99 / yearDriving Range, bag mapping, skills assessments, real-time feedback, progress tracking. No course play
Core$299.99 / yearEverything in Essential plus Course Play, the Foresight pack of 34+ courses, monthly course additions, Pebble Beach
Elite$599.99 / yearEverything above plus the TrackMan pack of 35+ courses alongside the Foresight pack, two new courses a month, shop and service discounts

Course play is the line that costs money. The unit measures and the driving range works on the free Basic tier, but playing courses starts at Core, and the full library is Elite. Over three years Elite adds about $1,800 to the price of the hardware.

Tier prices and inclusions per the SKYTRAK: Your Guide to the New SKYTRAK Memberships (official, 14 Aug 2025).

The room it needs

SkyTrak is one of the few manufacturers that publishes a bay size instead of leaving buyers to guess. Minimum 12 ft long, 10 ft wide, 9 ft net height. Recommended 15 ft long, 15 ft wide, 10 ft height. The minimum is what SkyTrak says the unit will work in; the recommended figure is what it says you should aim for.

Read those as two different setups rather than as a range. Twelve feet of length is enough for the unit, the mat and a net. Fifteen by fifteen with a ten-foot ceiling is a screen room you can share with a second person and still walk around. The width figure is the one people underestimate: ten feet is the floor, and a left-handed player sharing the bay pushes you toward the recommended fifteen.

Bay figures per the SKYTRAK Knowledge Base: Golf Simulator Space Requirements (official). For the full width, depth and height math before you commit a space, see our golf simulator room-size guide.

What to buy instead

SkyTrak’s own answer is the SKYTRAK ST MAX, listed at $1,695 on sale against the same $2,995 list the ST+ carried. On the spec sheet it reads as the same measurement approach with a rebuild around it: dual Doppler radar and photometric cameras, plus GOLFTEC Speed Training, a modular internal design and dual USB ports. If you wanted an ST+ for the hardware, that is the unit currently in stock.

SkyTrak also lists a certified pre-owned ST+ and a refurbished ST MAX. Those are the two routes to an ST+ style unit with a seller standing behind it, and they are worth checking before old retailer stock, because the membership ladder above applies either way. Whatever you buy, the annual course-play cost is the same decision.

Two alternatives sit either side of it on price. The Bushnell Launch Pro is the camera unit at $2,999.99, with its own subscription question. The Foresight GC3 starts at $6,999 and bundles its software with no stated subscription, which is the whole argument for spending the difference. We put those two against each other in the GC3 vs SkyTrak+ head-to-head.

Check what SkyTrak actually has in stock. The range page shows the live ST MAX price, the certified pre-owned listings and whether anything ST+ shaped has come back.

Common questions

Can you still buy a SkyTrak+ new?

Not from SkyTrak. The ST+ product page carries the line saying the launch monitor is no longer available, above a link to the rest of the range. What is left is old retailer stock, the used market, and SkyTrak’s own certified pre-owned ST+ listing.

What replaced the SkyTrak+?

The SKYTRAK ST MAX, at $1,695 on sale against a $2,995 list. SkyTrak describes it with dual Doppler radar and photometric cameras, GOLFTEC Speed Training, a modular internal design and dual USB ports.

Do you need a SkyTrak membership?

Not to measure shots. Basic is free with a purchase and covers the SKYTRAK Driving Range, Sim Club membership and PinSeeker tournaments. Course play begins at Core, $299.99 a year, and the full course library is Elite at $599.99 a year.

How much room does an ST+ need?

SkyTrak publishes a minimum bay of 12 ft long by 10 ft wide by 9 ft net height, and recommends 15 ft long by 15 ft wide by 10 ft high. Our room-size guide works through what each of those three numbers is actually protecting.

Where to go next

Before you buy anything

Work out the room first, then the monitor

SkyTrak publishes a 12-by-10-by-9 minimum bay for a reason. Measure your space against the full width, depth and height math before you spend.
