What's missing
Two Chicago names you'll go looking for and not find. Nobody has built Cog Hill for GSPro, so neither Dubsdread nor Ravines is in the sim, and the same goes for Medinah No. 3, the 2012 Ryder Cup course. The directory does have Medinah No. 1, a Patreon build of the club's other eighteen, and if you just want Cog Hill's town, Ruffled Feathers is in Lemont too.
Worth knowing before you search: the directory has a Dubs Dread Golf Club and a Ravines Golf Club, but they're in Kansas and Michigan. Neither is Cog Hill's. The rest of the Chicago gaps, and the closest thing to each, are in our guide to the famous courses not on GSPro.
Finding these in GSPro
Search for the course name in the GSPro course browser, or start from its page on The Course View to check the scorecard and yardages first. These are designer-created versions built to play like their real-world namesakes, not official licenses, so expect small differences in layout and conditioning from what you'd find at the actual club.

Chicago winters make an indoor setup an easy call. The launch monitor buyer’s guide has every unit; here’s the rest of the room:
- Hitting mats (Amazon): kinder on the joints through a long off-season.
- Impact screens (Amazon): a proper surface for the projection.
- Practice nets (Amazon): a simpler build when the basement space is tight.
The Course View earns a small commission on some Amazon links, at no extra cost to you.
