Comparison
Hawkeye vs GC3
Short answer
For a fixed indoor room on GSPro, the AccuGolf Hawkeye mounts overhead, reads both hands and costs about $1,100 less over five years than the Foresight GC3, though the GC3 is about $1,900 less up front at $3,999. The GC3 is the portable floor unit that goes outdoors, and it is on GSPro's official list, where the Hawkeye relies on a connection AccuGolf supplies itself.
At today's prices the GC3 is $694 less, with a price drop on the Hawkeye at $4,693 (Indoor Golf Outlet).

Bottom line
The longer answer
A ceiling unit against a floor unit. The Hawkeye is $5,866 at AccuGolf (without its optional projector) and Indoor Golf Outlet; it mounts overhead, stays indoors and reads right- and left-handed golfers with no change of settings. AccuGolf asks for a room 12 ft wide, 9 ft high and 14 ft deep, or 16 to 17 ft wide for both-handed play. The GC3 is $3,999, Foresight's sale price since October 13, 2026, against a $6,999 list, with no announced end date. It runs on a battery beside the ball, works indoors and out, and moves to the other side of the ball for a left-handed player.
The Hawkeye's two cameras run at 1,000+ frames per second over a 24 by 12 inch zone, and AccuGolf lists club speed, path, attack angle, face angle, dynamic loft and face to path. The GC3 uses three cameras; its club data — club speed, smash factor, path and attack angle — reads from the club markers in the box, and Foresight lists no face angle or dynamic loft for it.
The GC3 comes with 30 days of Foresight+ Gold and Course Pass Pro. After that, course play in Foresight Premier needs Silver ($199/yr) or Gold ($599/yr) plus a Course Pass ($295 or $595 a year), roughly $500 to $1,200 a year, and GSPro needs Gold. The Hawkeye has no course play of its own: AccuGolf includes a year of GSPro with every unit and supplies the connection, since GSPro doesn't list the Hawkeye, and renewals are GSPro's $250 a year.
On GSPro, five years comes to about $8,244 for the GC3 ($3,999 plus $849 a year for Gold and GSPro) against about $7,116 for the Hawkeye ($6,866 counting the year AccuGolf includes). The GC3 costs about $1,900 less to buy, and the Hawkeye's $250 a year against the GC3's $849 makes that back in about three years. If the GC3 goes back to its $6,999 list, its five-year figure is about $11,244 and the Hawkeye's lead about $4,100. Neither price includes the Windows PC. AccuGolf lists an NVIDIA RTX 4060 or 5060 and says other brands won't work; Foresight Premier asks for an RTX 4060 at minimum and an RTX 5070 for medium settings. Our $2,399.99 RTX 5070 Ti tower clears either, so the PC doesn't move the gap.
For a dedicated room with the width that will run GSPro for years, the Hawkeye is still the better value, by about $1,100 over five years. The GC3 earns its place if the unit has to travel, if official GSPro support matters to you, or if the lower price up front matters more than the running cost.

Better for GC3

Portable enough to share between rooms; ambidextrous play with a unit move. Budget the Foresight+ membership for course play — roughly $500-$1,200/yr depending on how many courses a household wants.
