Short answer: with a Windows PC, GSPro is the best value ($250 a year, 2,500+ free community courses). If you own a Trackman or Foresight unit, its own software gives you official studio courses. Without a gaming PC, start with Awesome Golf or your launch monitor’s app.

Questions
What is the best golf simulator software?
For most home sims with a Windows PC, GSPro gives the most real courses for the money: $250 a year and 2,500+ free community courses. Trackman and Foresight Premier are the picks if you own their launch monitors and want official studio courses. Awesome Golf and Garmin Home Tee Hero suit players without a gaming PC.
What golf simulator software works on a Mac or iPad?
Awesome Golf runs on macOS, iPhone, iPad, Android and Chromebooks. E6 CONNECT runs on iOS, and Garmin Home Tee Hero runs on phones and tablets. GSPro, Trackman, Foresight Premier and PurePlay need a Windows PC.
Which simulator lets me build my own golf courses?
GSPro (with the free OPCD toolset and Unity) and Infinite Tees (with its Superintendent browser tool) let anyone build and share courses today. ProTee GolfCore and PurePlay have course editors or community courses planned. Trackman, Foresight, E6, Golfzon and Uneekor build their courses themselves.
Do I need two subscriptions to use GSPro?
Sometimes. GSPro is $250 a year, and some launch monitors charge their own tier to connect third-party software. Uneekor, for example, needs its Pro tier or higher. Check your launch monitor's software plan before you buy.
What happened to The Golf Club 2019?
2K retired The Golf Club 2019 from Steam and ended its online services on October 30, 2025. ProTee keeps network play and community courses running for its simulator edition but stopped selling new licenses in March 2025.
