Ten ways to build a GOLFJOY bay — from a battery-powered monitor that lives in your golf bag to a weatherproof outdoor kiosk and a commercial overhead suite with a putting green that physically moves. This page shows you exactly what separates them, who each one is built for, and how Murphy Golf turns the one you pick into a finished room.
Most launch monitors sell you a number. GOLFJOY sells a complete indoor golf platform: camera-based tracking, 4K course rendering, mobile apps, third-party software freedom, and — on compatible suites — a putting surface that physically changes shape.
Dual or triple high-speed cameras, an onboard AI chip, and LED-assisted imaging read the ball and the clubhead — not an estimate derived from ball flight alone.
GOLFJOY software renders courses in Unreal Engine at Ultra 4K, with live weather, wind, time of day, and ball interaction with water, rough, and trees.
Monitor, software, mobile apps, putting hardware, and third-party platforms are designed to run as a single system — and Murphy Golf integrates it into the room.
Answer three questions. The engine weighs mounting format, data depth, portability, and commercial capability the same way our sales team does on a site visit.
Make three selections
The engine will name a primary system, explain the reasoning, and flag a sensible alternative to price against it.
Every recommendation is a starting point — final selection depends on ceiling height, room depth, and whether left- and right-handed players share the bay.
Specifications below are as published by GOLFJOY for each model. Where a figure is not published for a given model, we mark it confirm at quote rather than guess. Prices shown are current CAD pricing on the Murphy Golf Canada store and may change without notice — the store's live price governs at checkout.
Portable · dual camera
The value entry into camera-based GOLFJOY tracking. Removable battery, protective case, and a three-month GOLFJOY software trial — indoors or at the range.
Portable · triple camera
Three ultra high-speed cameras, a built-in touchscreen, NFC pairing, and 6+ hours of battery in a unit that fits a golf bag. Works indoors and outdoors with any ball.
Overhead · triple camera
The updated one-piece overhead entry point: triple-camera sensing, a magnetic quick-setup mount, and a wider detection range that cuts down on repositioning.
Overhead · dual camera
The widest metric count in the dual-camera range at up to 40, with clear clubhead playback and a quick clip-on mount. The premium-home sweet spot.
Overhead · dual camera · back-mounted
The rear-mounted sibling to Rigel 2: aerospace-grade aluminium construction with dual high-speed cameras, streamlined to core ball-and-club data for general practice and simulator play rather than deep swing-mechanics coaching.
Overhead · triple camera
Triple-camera sensing, 6 Gb/s transmission, quick clip-on mounting, and vivid clubhead playback. Built-in GPS and gyroscope let the unit shift left or right for shared left/right-handed bays.
Overhead · triple camera + dual LED
The deepest GOLFJOY data set — up to 42 parameters, a 60 × 60 cm hitting zone, ≤0.2 s on both detection and calculation, and GPS/gyro adjustment for left- and right-handed play in tight bays.
S-series · turnkey venue system
A full bay rather than a monitor: overhead tracking, 4K software with 200+ global courses, auto-tee options, and the smart putting platform. Fits ceilings from 9.2 to 11.5 ft.
Standalone kiosk · built-in Spica 3
A weatherproof, self-contained range kiosk built around GOLFJOY's Spica 3 triple-camera engine: a 21.5-inch outdoor touchscreen, a dedicated swing camera for full-body capture, and advanced swing analytics with personalized training feedback — designed to stand alone, uncovered, on a driving-range bay.
GOLFJOY markets protective covers for the GDA21's screen and launch-monitor housing during off-hours or severe weather; exact cover mechanism, materials, and the current production revision are confirmed at quote rather than assumed from marketing footage.
affordable all in one solutions
Monitor, screen or enclosure, impact surface, and simulator components coordinated as a kit — then designed around your actual ceiling, depth, and hitting position by our team.

GOLFJOY's camera-based monitors and radar-based systems use different sensing principles, so figures are not directly interchangeable — camera systems typically report more granular clubhead data, while radar systems are often chosen for outdoor durability and simpler setup. Radar competitor specifications and prices sourced from each manufacturer's official product page in USD at time of writing; confirm current pricing and CAD conversion before quoting.
Almost every simulator puts a flat mat under a sloped rendering and asks you to believe it. On compatible GOLFJOY suites, a 3D moving mat uses eleven power devices to physically reshape the putting surface itself — not just the screen — recreating green undulation across roughly four yards and engaging automatically as the ball comes near the green. GOLFJOY positions it as the only system built to let a putt actually roll into a physical hole rather than a simulated one.
Camera-based capture of ball, club, and trajectory with onboard AI processing.
High-frame video of clubhead position and contact — the fastest way to explain a miss.
Onboard AI reviews swing and shot data in real time, renders 3D club-path and face-angle graphics on screen, and builds personalized training feedback — featured on the GDA21 range kiosk and reflected across GOLFJOY's camera-based monitors.
Ultra 4K Unreal-Engine courses, training modes, mini games, tournaments, online play.
Courses, practice tools, and real-time online play with live voice and video.
Practice-data review and, in supported settings, facility or bay reservations.
GSPro, E6, and Creative Golf on listed models — your course library, your choice.
Eleven power devices physically reshape green contours on compatible suites, rather than rendering slope on a flat surface.
A 2,205-sensor foldable pad tracks center of pressure, stance width, and vertical force through the swing, giving real-time balance and stability feedback. Optional add-on, confirmed at quote.
Automatic ball-hit sensing re-tees the next ball with no manual retrieval — smooth, low-noise operation built for both home and commercial traffic. Pressure-plate sensing specifics are confirmed at quote.
Throw distance, brightness, screen ratio, framing, and impact surface engineered together.
Design, supply, install, calibration, training, and Canadian support after handover.
The tracking hardware decides your data. The room decides whether people want to spend two hours in it. We quote both.
Finished ceiling, width, depth, tee position, and clearance for both handedness — verified on site before anything is ordered.
Throw, brightness, lens shift, and screen ratio calculated to your exact wall, not a generic recommendation.
Ceiling reinforcement for overhead mounting, enclosure framing, impact screen, hitting surface, and flooring.
Separated strong- and weak-current runs, dedicated Ethernet to the monitor, PC ventilation and service access.
Use case, players, budget envelope, and the space you actually have.
Layout, monitor selection, projection maths, and a written scope of work.
Mounting, cabling, calibration, and software activation by our own crew.
Commissioning checklist, player training, and Canadian support afterwards.
There is a second version of this page written for the business side: dealer and reseller structure, segment-by-segment fit for hotels, clubs, ranges and condos, a bay-utilisation model you can run with your own numbers, and what Murphy Golf supplies behind you as the Ontario distributor.
The hardware does not require a mandatory subscription — GOLFJOY states this for Spica 3, for example. Virtual courses and games are a different matter: they run on GOLFJOY's own software platform or a third-party licence such as E6 Connect or GSPro, and those are purchased separately. We list software and licence terms as their own line in every quote so nothing is a surprise in year two.
If the monitor will ever leave the room, buy portable: Spica 3 or GDS Pro. If the room is dedicated, buy overhead. An overhead unit removes hardware from beside the ball, keeps the floor clean, and makes a bay feel finished — and Rigel Lite 2 publishes a wide detection range with one-piece magnetic installation, which suits most Ontario basements.
Ball data drives simulation. Club data drives improvement and fitting. Every GOLFJOY model tracks 27 or more parameters, so the real question is whether you need dynamic club delivery detail and impact playback. For coaching and fitting, go to Rigel 3 or Rigel 3 Pro. For family golf and league nights, 27 to 29 is plenty.
GOLFJOY software calls for Windows 10 64-bit or newer, an Intel i5-10600 class CPU or better, at least 16 GB RAM, an RTX 3050-class GPU for 2K and an RTX 3070-class GPU for 4K. AMD GPUs are not supported. We spec the PC to the resolution you actually intend to run.
It is part of the commercial overhead suite, and a compatible-system feature elsewhere. Never assume it is in a package — if you want it, it appears explicitly on your quotation with the cup groups and platform configuration listed.
GOLFJOY lists GSPro, E6, and Creative Golf compatibility for GDS Pro and Rigel 3 Pro, and GSPro plus E6 for Spica 3. For other Rigel models we confirm current compatibility in writing before you commit, rather than repeating a claim that may apply to a different SKU.
We are the authorised GOLFJOY distributor for Ontario and install across the province, with residential rooms, teaching studios, and multi-bay commercial facilities all in scope. Site conditions determine scheduling, structural work, and any trades we coordinate on your behalf.
The GDA21 is GOLFJOY's standalone driving-range kiosk: a built-in Spica 3 triple-camera launch monitor paired with a 21.5-inch outdoor touchscreen, rated IP65 for dust and short-term water resistance across an operating range of –10°C to 45°C. GOLFJOY also markets protective covers for the screen and launch-monitor housing for off-hours or severe weather. We confirm the exact cover mechanism and current production revision against your written quotation before installation.
It varies by model: Rigel 2 Lite publishes a 40 × 30 cm zone, Rigel 2 publishes 40 × 40 cm, and Rigel 3 and Rigel 3 Pro publish 60 × 60 cm, all confirmed against GOLFJOY's current 2026 product catalog. Rigel Lite 2 does not yet have its own published hitting-zone figure, so we reference GOLFJOY's original Rigel Lite leaflet (40 × 30 cm, up to 450 yards of flight detection) as a guide and confirm the exact current-production figure at quote.
Available Exclusively With Murphy Golf Systems
Clubhouse facilities also qualify for VIP pricing on Facility Upgrade Program packages.
With The Clubhouse, processing costs reflect the cards your guests actually use. Lower-cost cards can mean lower processing costs, rather than the same flat percentage on every booking.
Send us your ceiling height, room width and depth, and how the bay will be used. We come back with a recommended GOLFJOY system, a complete room scope, and a written Canadian quotation — including software, projection, surfaces, and installation as separate lines.
