August 1 Deal Recap: What Survived the July 31 Cliff and What Didn’t
August 1 Deal Recap: What Survived the July 31 Cliff and What Didn’t
Why This Matters for Home Golf Sim Owners
The July 31 deal cliff came and went, and the scorecard is mixed. Here’s the full breakdown of which golf simulator deals survived the month-end deadline and which expired.
Survived: SkyTrak ST MAX at $1,995
The SkyTrak ST MAX remains at $1,995 — a solid $500 off its original $2,495 MSRP. SkyTrak extended this deal into August, likely because the ST MAX is their current flagship and they want to clear inventory ahead of any potential refresh. This is still the best entry point for a camera-based launch monitor with built-in simulation. See how it compares in our SkyTrak ST MAX review and how it stacks up against the SkyTrak+.
Survived: AccuGOLF Hawkeye at 30% Off
AccuGOLF’s Hawkeye launch monitor continues at 30% off through August, with free software included. At roughly $1,399 (down from $1,999), this is the budget play for anyone who wants a camera-based system without long-term subscription commitments. The Hawkeye supports GSPro and E6 Connect, making it a viable alternative to the Bushnell Launch Pro for budget-conscious buyers. See our AccuGOLF Hawkeye review for the full breakdown.
Expired: Garmin R50 at $3,449
The Garmin R50’s $3,449 deal — a full $1,000 off MSRP — is gone. The R50 is now back to $4,449 street pricing. If you missed the deal, our Garmin R50 review covers whether the full-price unit is still worth it, and our R50 vs Bushnell Launch Pro comparison helps you decide between these two premium options.
Expired: Mevo+ Final Closeout at $1,099
FlightScope’s Mevo+ final closeout at $1,099 has ended. The remaining Mevo+ inventory is sporadic, and prices are creeping back toward $1,495 at some retailers. If you’re still considering a radar unit, the Garmin R10 at $599 or the Rapsodo MLM2Pro at $599 are your next-best budget options.
What to Watch in August
August typically brings back-to-school pricing and late-summer clearance events. Key deals to monitor:
- Bushnell Launch Pro — frequently goes on sale at $2,499 (MSRP $3,999). Bushnell’s Circle B Edition may see Labor Day pricing. See our full Bushnell Launch Pro review for the latest pricing.
- Uneekor EYE MINI CORE — currently $1,499, but Uneekor often runs summer promotions. Check our Uneekor Eye Mini Core review for current deals.
- Square Golf Omni — at $1,599 with no subscription, this four-camera unit is already one of the best values in the market and unlikely to see major discounts. Read our Square Golf Omni review for the full analysis.
