Software
Golf simulator software is the platform that renders virtual courses, processes launch monitor data, and delivers real-time swing analytics on every shot.

GolfSimPlanet carries GSPro, E6 Connect, and The Golf Club 2019 — platforms compatible with all major launch monitors including Uneekor, Foresight Sports, FlightScope, SkyTrak, Garmin, and Trackman.

Key Features of Golf Simulator Software
1. Real-Time Ball Data on Every Shot
Golf simulator software processes launch monitor data instantly — displaying ball speed, spin rate, launch angle, carry distance, and shot shape within milliseconds of impact. Data depth depends on your launch monitor: entry-level radar units deliver 6–8 metrics; professional overhead systems like Uneekor EYE XO2 or Foresight GCHawk deliver up to 16 data points per swing.
2. Adjustable Course Conditions
All three major platforms — GSPro, E6 Connect, and TGC 2019 — allow players to adjust wind speed, wind direction, green firmness, and pin positions before each round. E6 Connect additionally offers adjustable time of day and weather conditions including rain and fog on select licensed courses.
3. Course Library — 85 to 170,000+ Courses
E6 Connect includes 85+ photorealistic licensed courses — including Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, and Torrey Pines. GSPro and TGC 2019 offer access to over 100,000–170,000 community-designed courses through their respective player networks. Course quality varies between community-built options; licensed courses in E6 Connect use photogrammetry scanning for highest visual accuracy.
4. Swing Path & Club Data Analysis
When paired with a camera-based launch monitor, simulator software displays club path, face angle, attack angle, dynamic loft, and smash factor in addition to standard ball metrics. This data is accessible in the practice range mode available in all three platforms — allowing targeted work on specific swing faults between simulated rounds.
