Course Guide
GSPro Courses by US Metro
Everyone wants to play Augusta once. Then they want to play the course they grew up on, or the one they can see from the highway. The directory has more of those than you'd expect, and these five guides map the ones built around America's biggest golf metros.
Why play the courses near you
A simulator round hits differently when you know the course. You know the tee shot on 4 is tighter than it looks, you know which way the green breaks, and you have a number in your head you're trying to beat. None of that transfers to a course you've only seen on television.
Community designers tend to build the courses they know, which means the directory is unusually deep around a handful of metros. If you live in one of them, there's a good chance your home track or a course you've played is already in GSPro, sometimes under its real name and sometimes not.
Dallas-Fort Worth
The biggest simulator audience in the country sits in DFW, and the directory covers the whole metroplex: Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Arlington, and out to Rockwall.
Marquee courses: Colonial Country Club, Dallas National. Every course in the area, grouped by suburb, is in the Dallas-Fort Worth guide.
Chicagoland
Nearly 40 courses across the city and its suburbs, and the deepest metro in the directory. The North Shore alone could fill a season.
Marquee courses: Medinah No. 3, Olympia Fields North, The Hawk. Every course in the area, grouped by suburb, is in the Chicagoland guide.
Atlanta
From the Tour Championship venue in the city out to the suburbs, with everything from Alpharetta to Villa Rica in between.
Marquee courses: East Lake. Every course in the area, grouped by suburb, is in the Atlanta guide.
Phoenix & Scottsdale
The best desert golf in the directory. Scottsdale carries the marquee names and the Valley fills in around it, all the way out to the West Valley.
Marquee courses: DPC Scottsdale, Estancia, Whisper Rock. Every course in the area, grouped by suburb, is in the Phoenix & Scottsdale guide.
New York & the Tri-State
One guide across three states, because the golf here ignores the borders: Long Island, the boroughs, Westchester, North Jersey, and Fairfield County.
Marquee courses: Bethpage Black, Winged Foot, Liberty National. Every course in the area, grouped by suburb, is in the New York & the Tri-State guide.
If your metro isn't here yet
Five guides don't cover the country. The rest of the directory is browsable by geography, which will get you most of the way there:
- The course map: every US state, colored by how many courses it has. Click a state to see all of them.
- State pages: each one filters down to individual cities, so a state with a lot of courses breaks apart into the towns you actually recognize.
- Search: if you know the name of the course, just type it. We index the real course name alongside the GSPro one.
Los Angeles, Houston, Seattle, Denver, and Minneapolis are the metros most likely to get their own guide next, based on where the traffic actually comes from.
Playing your home course at home
If a local course being in GSPro is what finally tips you into building a setup, the simulator build guide prices out three complete rooms, and the launch monitor buyer's guide compares every unit that runs GSPro. A few things earn their place in any build:
- Hitting mats (Amazon): the one piece you touch on every shot, so it’s worth not cheaping out.
- Impact screens (Amazon): your home course deserves better than a monitor in the corner.
- Practice nets (Amazon): the cheapest way to swing full-out indoors before you commit to an enclosure.
The Course View earns a small commission on some Amazon links, at no extra cost to you.
