| Verdict | Superseded by the SC4 PRO — Voice Caddie now redirects the SC4 to it. Still findable at retail on clearance; verify sim-software support before buying for course play. | The tour standard — also the biggest space requirement on this list. Most homes can't give it the depth it wants. |
✓ marks the better value on rankable specs (lower price, fits smaller rooms, more measured data, no required subscription). Greyed rows are identical.
