DIY Enclosure with Uneekor EYE MINI Lite Launch Monitor

The best home golf simulator is one that fits your space and budget. Whether you're setting up in a garage, basement, or spare room, Carl's Place makes it easy to customize your setup with our Build Your Own Golf Simulator tool.

The Uneekor EYE MINI Lite paired with a Carl's Place DIY Golf Enclosure is a popular choice for homeowners looking for an affordable, accurate, and space-conscious setup. Inspired by Reddit recommendations from the r/Golfsimulator community, this bundle gives you the essentials to turn almost any room into an indoor golf space while helping protect your walls and ceiling.

Why use an EYE MINI Lite Launch Monitor?

The EYE MINI Lite sits about a foot beside the ball, so it doesn't require the extra space behind your hitting area needed by launch monitors like the Garmin Approach R10 or FlightScope Mevo+. Add a hitting mat and projector, and you've got a home simulator ready for your next round
