Great Simulator

This works great and is very accurate. It is very easy to use and set up.

Great Features

I spontaneously bought the Garmin R50 a month ago. Was waiting on the golf enclosure to dial it in. The overall experience has been amazing. The Garmin is very user friendly, interactive, and is a great way to explore over 43,000 golf courses. The overall rating is 4 out of 5 stars because I’m still trying to figure out the accuracy from the gaming vs reality yardages. I agree with some of the other comments regarding the inaccuracy yardages are between 10-15 yards variance. I’ve tried to manually compute different elevation and humidity percentages. Still have not been able to dial it in, but I am very hopeful that it is possible. Any suggestions?

Operation

I bought the Garmin and Love it. It is so easy to get up and running. I only wish you didn't need a computer for GSPRO and other apps.

Great, Fun, Easy, Accurate.

Have had a little over a month and completely satisfied. Easy to set up, accurate, and fun with any golf course you can think of. A few wish list items that would be nice: let 1 golfer be able to golf the entire hole then the next rather than alternate shots, if the 2 view screens could be 2 way hdmi external view rather than just one extrnal display and the unit screen, mini games like closest to the pin. Great investment overall.

Gone But Not Forgotten

I bought this for the features. I love everything thing about the R50. Set up, ease of use, screen. Unfortunately I had to return it. I don’t use it at home since I don’t have a sim. I use it at the range only and after a few weeks it became clear it is just a little too big and bulky to use at the range. I downsized to the flight scope Gen 2:(
