SkyTrak ST MAX

$1,695+ $300/yr

The no-membership level is free forever but is range-only. Course Play starts at Core: Foresight $299.99/yr; Core: Trackman is $349.99/yr and Elite $599.99/yr. Through November 12, 2026 (SkyTrak's Holiday Sale), a new ST MAX comes with a free first year of Core: Foresight, and several retailers run similar first-year offers — a promotion, not the standing price.

Who this is for

Honest match per persona.

Good for

  • Cost-Effective Buyer

    $1,695 at every retailer we track for SkyTrak's current model: the same camera-plus-radar approach as the SkyTrak+ it replaced, with a hitting zone about four times the area, current-model support and a longer software runway. While closeout stock lasts, the discontinued SkyTrak+ is about $600 cheaper ($1,095 new) for the smaller zone.

  • Recreational Player

    Native Mac and iPad apps (M1 or newer) are rare in this price range. Polished SkyTrak software with easy course play.

  • Family Setup

    Polished SkyTrak software is forgiving for non-technical household members. Ambidextrous play possible with a unit move; native Mac and iPad apps (M1 or newer) don't lock you to a single OS.

  • Performance Seeker

    GOLFTEC speed training module adds genuine practice value. Same accuracy as the SkyTrak+ in a current-gen package.

  • Space-Constrained

    Beside-the-ball placement needs no ball-flight depth. Plan on 18 ft of length (our room planner: SkyTrak's recommended 10 ft to the screen, the 7 ft behind the tee Shop Indoor Golf and Carl's Place advise, a foot behind the screen; SkyTrak's own room guide says 12) and 11 ft of width (the ST MAX guide prints its width minimum as both 10 ft and 3.35 m, which is 11 ft). SkyTrak recommends 15 ft each way.

Not for

  • Showroom

    Strong launch monitor but doesn't have the brand cachet of Foresight or Uneekor for premium rooms.

Course PlayNative SkyTrak app. GSPro: no path for a new buyer — no SkyTrak model is on GSPro's official list, and the free community plugin (OpenSkyPlus 2) supports SkyTrak app 5.4–5.8 while SkyTrak now offers only 6.2, which also updates the unit's firmware; owners still on 5.8 can keep using it.

Room planner

See the SkyTrak ST MAX in your sim room.

The planner draws it to scale where its maker says it goes, with your room, your height and your swing, then checks the ceiling, walls, screen and placement against the published figures. It opens in a sample room; put in yours.
