Augusta on GSPro: Yes, and It’s the Best Version
Yes. You can play Augusta National on GSPro. The course is available under the name “Georgia Golf Club,” created by community designer Tekbud. It is a LIDAR-based recreation of the Masters course that captures the real elevation data, green contours, and hole routing. It is the most downloaded course in the GSPro library, rated 4.7 out of 5 by thousands of players. It takes roughly two minutes to find, download, and start playing.
Which Version to Download
Open GSPro Launcher, go to Course Manager, and search “Georgia Golf Club.” That is the one you want. Tekbud’s version is the current gold standard. There is also a “Georgia Golf Club Fall” version with autumn colors when you want a visual change, but the standard version is what you want for the full Masters experience.
Older versions exist in the library under different names. “Augusta National V2” by Crazy Canuck was the go-to before Tekbud’s LIDAR version took over. It is still good but the LIDAR data in Tekbud’s version makes the elevation changes feel real in a way the older version cannot match. Download Georgia Golf Club. Skip the rest.
How the Course Plays
The LIDAR data means the slopes are accurate. The drive on 10 plays downhill. The approach on 11 plays into a green that slopes hard from back to front. The 12th gives you that same suffocating feeling of standing on a tiny green with water short and a bunker front-right.
The green complexes are faithful enough that you will recognize every hole by your second shot. The azaleas are modeled. The white bunkers are there. The pond on 16 has the right shape. The course routing is correct — Amen Corner plays as 11, 12, 13, not a rearranged version that misses the point.
The real strength is the green speed. Augusta’s greens run at a 13 on the stimpmeter during the Masters. Most sim courses default to slower speeds. Georgia Golf Club supports tournament-fast greens if you dial them up. Set green speed to 13 and firmness to maximum. That is where the course comes alive. The course becomes the test you are looking for when it’s firm and fast — the soft, slow version plays like a public park.
What It Misses
A few things get simplified. Some of the subtler internal contours on the greens do not translate perfectly from LIDAR to playable surface. The famous tree on 18 is gone from the real course anyway, so that is not a loss. The atmosphere — the roped galleries, the leaderboard, the weight of every shot on Sunday — that is on you. The sim gives you the canvas. You bring the pressure.
Settings for the Real Experience
Here are the settings that make Georgia Golf Club play like Augusta National.
- Tees: Tournament (TIPS)
- Green speed: 13
- Firmness: Maximum
- Wind: 10-15 mph
- Rough height: Masters
- Fairway firmness: Firm
Everything else is default. Hit the range for five minutes to calibrate. Then drop into 11 and see if you can hold the green.
Compatible Launch Monitors
GSPro works with almost every modern launch monitor. The full list includes:

- Foresight GC3, GCQuad (requires third-party connector)
- Bushnell Launch Pro

If your launch monitor was built after 2020, it probably works. Check the GSPro website for the full compatibility list.
How It Compares to Other Platforms
GSPro is the best place to play Augusta on a golf simulator. Here is why:
TGC 2019 has Firethorn, which is a solid recreation. But TGC 2019 has not been updated since 2025 and you cannot buy it anymore. The graphics look dated, the physics engine is older, and the player base is shrinking.
E6 Connect does not have Augusta at all. No version, no tribute course, nothing. If E6 is your only software, you either buy GSPro or you do not play Augusta.
FSX Play has Magnolia National, which is a tribute course with different hole routings. It is a good course on its own terms but it is not Augusta.
Awesome Golf does not have any real-world courses, Augusta included.
GSPro is the only platform where you get a LIDAR-based, community-verified, regularly updated version of Augusta that plays like the real thing.
Is It Worth It?
GSPro costs $250 per year, which works out to about $21 a month. You spend more than that on range balls or the beer you drink while you play. Georgia Golf Club is free with your subscription, same as every other course in the 4,000-plus course library.
If playing Augusta matters to you, GSPro is the answer. You get the best version of the most famous course in golf, plus thousands of other courses, plus regular updates, plus the best physics engine in sim golf. The math is simple.
Frequently Asked Questions
How realistic is Georgia Golf Club on GSPro?
It is the most realistic Augusta recreation available on any consumer golf simulator. The LIDAR elevation data captures real slopes and contours. The green complexes are faithful to the real course. The main gap is atmospheric — you do not get the roped galleries or the Sunday pressure. That comes from within.
Can I play the full 18 holes of Augusta on GSPro?
Yes. Georgia Golf Club includes the full 18-hole routing. Amen Corner plays as holes 11, 12, and 13 in the correct order. The back nine finishes on 18 the way it should.
What launch monitor works best with GSPro for playing Augusta?
Any launch monitor that supports GSPro works well. Uneekor EYE XO and SkyTrak+ are the most common pairings. The launch monitor does not affect course quality — GSPro handles all rendering and physics regardless of which LM you use.
How do I install Augusta National on GSPro?
Open GSPro Launcher, click Course Manager, search “Georgia Golf Club,” and click download. The entire process takes under two minutes. No additional fees, no license keys, no special permissions.
Is there a difference between Georgia Golf Club and Georgia Golf Club Fall?
The standard Georgia Golf Club is set in spring with green fairways and blooming azaleas — Masters conditions. Georgia Golf Club Fall uses autumn coloring with brown rough and orange foliage. Both use the same LIDAR data and course routing. Play the standard version for the authentic experience.
Does GSPro have any other Augusta-style courses?
Georgia Golf Club is the primary Augusta recreation. Some older versions exist under different names in the course library — “Augusta National V2” by Crazy Canuck and a few others. None match the quality of Tekbud’s LIDAR version. Georgia Golf Club is the one to download.
All courses mentioned are free with your GSPro subscription. GSPro costs $250 per year. We may earn a commission if you purchase through links on this page — the recommendation is based on actual use, not sponsorship.
