Common Questions
What makes a GSPro course challenging?
A challenging course is rated 6 to 8 out of 10 on the GSPro difficulty scale shown on its scorecard. That means noticeably tighter fairways, faster greens, and hazards that punish a miss, without quite reaching the brutal expert tier. It's the level most low-handicap sim golfers enjoy testing themselves on.
What is the difference between challenging and expert GSPro courses?
Both are hard, but the difficulty rating separates them. Challenging courses sit at 6 to 8 out of 10, while expert courses are rated 8 and above. The expert tier ramps up narrowness, green speed, and forced carries until there's almost no margin for error. Challenging courses are demanding but a notch more forgiving.
