Square Golf launch monitor: specs, sim support, and room needs

By The Home Golfer editorial team · Last updated August 31, 2026

The Square Golf launch monitor (around $700 (Home Edition)) is the rare camera-based unit at this price. Because it is photometric, two cameras and eight infrared sensors, it sits beside the ball and fits a shallower room than the radar units in the same band. It measures ball and club data, connects natively to GSPro and E6 Connect with no extra Square subscription, and is indoor only. This page lays out its published specs, its simulator support, the room it needs, its price, and the difference between the Home Edition and the Omni Edition. All figures are cited. We do not test gear ourselves; this is what the published numbers say.

Home Edition vs Omni Edition

Square sells two distinct units, and the names get confused. Most people searching “Square Golf launch monitor” mean the indoor Home Edition; the Omni is the pricier indoor-and-outdoor step-up.

Square Golf Home Edition

$699

Indoor only

The indoor camera unit most home golfers mean by "Square Golf." No subscription fee.

Square Golf Omni Edition

Indoor and outdoor

A distinct, pricier model that adds outdoor use. If you have seen "Square Golf Omni," this is the indoor/outdoor step-up, not the same unit as the Home Edition.

Using it as a golf simulator

The Square Golf connects natively to GSPro and E6 Connect, two of the mainstream simulator platforms, with no additional Square subscription, which is a genuine cost advantage over units that gate third-party sim behind a paid tier. It also has its own app with 12 courses out of the box.

The camera design is the real story for a home setup. Because a photometric unit sits beside the ball rather than behind it, it fits a shallower room than a radar monitor, which is often the deciding factor in a tight garage. The trade is that the Home Edition is indoor only: direct sunlight can damage the cameras, so it is not the unit to carry to the range. It also does not report club head speed or smash factor, unlike some radar competitors.

Building the screen room around it? See golf simulator packages for what a complete bay includes, then the room size it needs.

Room and space requirements

As a camera unit, the Square Golf’s advantage is depth: it sits beside the ball, so it does not need the 6-to-8-foot standoff a radar monitor wants behind you. That makes it the friendlier pick for a shallow garage. You still need a hitting area, a net or screen in front, and, for a full screen room, ceiling height for a driver swing (roughly 9 to 10 feet).

Square’s store presents its detailed room figures in image-based spec tables rather than as plain text, so we point you to our own golf simulator room-size guide for the full width, depth, and height math that applies to any camera unit.

Common questions

What simulator software works with the Square Golf?

GSPro and E6 Connect natively, with no extra Square subscription, plus the Square Golf app with 12 courses. That native GSPro and E6 support with no added fee is one of its selling points.

Is the Square Golf indoor only?

The Home Edition is indoor only, direct sunlight can damage the cameras. If you need outdoor use, that is the pricier Omni Edition ($1,599), a separate model.

What is the difference between Square Golf and Square Golf Omni?

The Home Edition ($699) is the indoor camera unit most people mean by “Square Golf.” The Omni Edition ($1,599) adds outdoor capability. Same brand, two distinct products at different prices.

How much room does it need?

Less depth than a radar unit, because it sits beside the ball rather than behind it. You still need a hitting area and a net or screen; see our room-size guide.
