Trackman has 558 golf courses. That is more than Awesome Golf (100). More than FSX Play (hundreds). It is the largest professionally licensed course library in sim golf.
But you are not buying Trackman for the course count. You are buying Trackman because it is the same radar system the PGA Tour uses. The same technology that tracks every shot data point with military-grade precision. The course library is a bonus. For a full review of the hardware, see our TrackMan iO review.
Here is the thing about Trackman’s course library that most people do not know: every course is LIDAR-scanned and professionally built. There is no community content. No user-generated junk. Every single one of the 558 courses meets the same standard that Trackman applies to its hardware — which is the highest standard in golf.
Trackman adds new courses monthly. They have a dedicated team that scans, builds, and tests every course. The library grows every single month.
Here are the courses worth booking a tee time on.
How Trackman Course Access Works
Trackman courses are included with your simulator purchase. You do not buy individual courses like FSX Play. You do not pay a subscription like GSPro. You buy the Trackman simulator hardware (starting at $29,490), and the course library comes with it.
Courses are organized in the software by region, difficulty, and popularity. You browse, select, and play. Course updates are automatic.
Trackman has partnership agreements with major golf organizations including the R&A, PGA of America, and multiple national golf bodies. This gives them licensing access that other platforms cannot match.
The Famous Courses: Trackman’s Crown Jewels
Pebble Beach Golf Links
Pebble Beach is on Trackman and it is spectacular. The LIDAR scan captures every contour of the cliffs along Carmel Bay. The ocean holes — 7, 8, 9, 10 — are rendered with accuracy that makes you feel like you are standing on the actual tee box. See our full Pebble Beach on TrackMan guide for the hole-by-hole breakdown, and compare with the GSPro version and E6 version.
Trackman’s advantage is the physics engine. The same radar system that measures your ball data in real time also controls the ball flight in the sim. When you hit a shot at Pebble Beach on Trackman, the spin, launch angle, and trajectory are exact. The wind matters. The elevation matters. The firmness of the greens matters.
Play it with the tournament conditions. Pebble with soft greens and no wind is a resort course. Pebble with firm conditions and 15 mph wind is the US Open venue it was designed to be.
St Andrews Old Course
Trackman has all four St Andrews courses — Old Course, New Course, Jubilee Course, and Castle Course. The Old Course is the standout. For the full breakdown, see our St Andrews on GSPro guide and St Andrews on E6 Connect guide — the courses are the same, but the platform experience differs.
The double greens are enormous. The Road Hole (17) is punishing. The Valley of Sin on 18 is there and it will mess with your putter. Trackman’s LIDAR data captures the subtle breaks on those massive greens. You will three-putt from places you did not know you could three-putt from.
The wind model is excellent. St Andrews without wind is not St Andrews. Trackman’s weather engine gives you the authentic coastal wind that makes the Old Course the strategic masterpiece it is.
Bandon Dunes
Trackman has the entire Bandon Dunes resort — Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald, and Bandon Preserve. This is a massive get. Bandon is one of the most requested sim courses in the world. For the GSPro experience, see our Bandon Dunes on GSPro guide and Pinehurst No. 2 on TrackMan guide for the full platform comparison.
Bandon Dunes (the original David McLay Kidd design) is a masterpiece. The course is perched above the Pacific Ocean, routing through native dunes with wind that changes every hole. On Trackman, it plays exactly like the real thing — which means you will hit shots you think are perfect and watch the wind push them into a gorse bush.
Pacific Dunes is the consensus favorite among Bandon regulars. The Tom Doak design is more strategic, more demanding, and more rewarding. The ocean views are constant. On a sim, this course shines because the holes are framed naturally — no houses, no roads, no distractions.
Old Macdonald is the tribute course to classic golden-age design. The massive greens, the redan holes, the punchbowls — it is a course that rewards creativity. On Trackman, it plays firm and fast.
Pinehurst No. 2
Trackman has Pinehurst No. 2. This is a big deal. Pinehurst No. 2 is one of the most iconic courses in the world. The Donald Ross design with its crowned greens, sandy waste areas, and demanding approach shots is a true test of golf. See our Pinehurst No. 2 on TrackMan guide for the full course breakdown, or compare with the GSPro version and E6 version.
Trackman’s version is LIDAR-scanned and accurate. The greens are the story — they shed shots into collection areas, penalize the wrong approach angle, and reward thoughtful play. You cannot just fire at every pin. You have to know where to miss.
Trackman also has Pinehurst’s Cradle — the short course. If you want a fun, quick round with friends, the Cradle is a gem.
Bethpage Black
Bethpage Black on Trackman is brutally accurate. The elevation changes are captured perfectly. The rough is punishing. The greens are fast and hard.
This is not a course you play to relax. Bethpage Black is a fight. The fairways are narrow, the approaches are long, and the course does not give you a break hole after hole. Trackman’s physics engine makes every shot feel consequential because it is.
Play it from the back tees with firm conditions. You will learn something about your game. Probably something you did not want to know.
Real Club Valderrama
Valderrama is the home of the Volvo Masters and the 1997 Ryder Cup. It is one of the most exclusive courses in Europe. On Trackman, it is one of the best sim courses available.
The cork tree-lined fairways, the small greens, the demanding approach shots — Valderrama is a precision test. It is not long. It does not need to be. Every hole asks you to shape a shot and commit to a line. If you spray the ball, Valderrama will expose you.
This is a course that sim golf was made for. The visuals are stunning. The golf is demanding. It is a must-play.
Royal County Down
Royal County Down is widely considered the best course in Ireland. On Trackman, it is one of the best sim courses period.
The gorse lining the fairways is rendered accurately — which means you will learn very quickly to keep the ball in the short grass. The blind shots are the highlight. County Down has more blind shots than any famous course in the world. You are hitting over dunes, around corners, and into greens you cannot see. On a sim, that translates perfectly because you are already hitting into a screen. The uncertainty is the point.
Royal Portrush
Royal Portrush hosted the 2019 Open Championship. On Trackman, it is a standout.
The famous Dunluce Links routing is accurate. The par-5 2nd hole plays downhill with the ocean in the background. The 16th (Calamity Corner) is a terrifying par-3 over a chasm. The closing holes along the coast are as good as any in links golf.
Trackman’s version captures the drama. If you only play one links course on Trackman, make it Portrush.
Hidden Gems
Lofoten Links
Lofoten Links in Norway is Trackman’s showcase course. It is one of the most recent additions and it is visually stunning. The course is set on a rugged peninsula above the Arctic Circle. The mountains, the fjords, the midnight sun — it looks like another planet.
On Trackman, the LIDAR data captures the dramatic terrain. The course plays along the coastline, over rocky outcroppings, and through valleys. It is unlike any course in the continental US or UK. If you want to play something that makes your friends say “where the hell is that,” this is the one.
Cabot Cliffs and Cabot Links
Trackman has both Cabot Cliffs and Cabot Links in Nova Scotia. Cabot Cliffs is one of the most dramatic courses in the world — cliff-top holes, ocean views, a routing that Ben Crenshaw called “the best property I have ever seen for a golf course.”
On Trackman, the par-3 16th hole (the one that runs along the cliff edge) is absolutely spectacular. You are hitting over the Atlantic Ocean to a green perched on the cliff. It is terrifying in real life. On the sim, it is still terrifying.
Casa De Campo ‘Teeth of the Dog’
Pete Dye’s masterpiece in the Dominican Republic. Teeth of the Dog has seven holes along the Caribbean coast. The ocean holes are spectacular — the water comes into play on every shot, the wind is constant, and the visuals are stunning.
On Trackman, this course plays firm and fast. The greens are small and demanding. It is a resort course that does not play like one.
Lahinch
Lahinch on Trackman is a joy. The famous Dell hole — a blind par-3 over a massive dune — translates perfectly to sim golf because you genuinely cannot see the green. You are hitting purely on feel and a guess about the line.
The rest of the course is classic links. Wind, firm conditions, bounces that go sideways. A round at Lahinch on Trackman is the closest you will get to playing in Ireland without a plane ticket.
Wentworth West Course
Wentworth West Course is the home of the BMW PGA Championship. On Trackman, it is a standout parkland course. The tree-lined fairways, the heather, the famous 18th hole with water down the right — it is a classic English championship course that plays differently than the American tracks you are used to.
The Trackman Advantage
Trackman’s course library has two advantages over every other platform.
Consistency. Every course is LIDAR-scanned and professionally built. There are no duds. No courses that look like they were built in someone’s lunch break. You scroll through 558 courses and every single one meets a professional standard.
Physics integration. Trackman’s radar system does not just show you a course. It calculates every shot in real time using the same algorithms that the PGA Tour uses. The ball flight, the spin, the trajectory — it is all happening in the same software that tracks your actual ball data. This integration makes the sim experience feel more realistic because it is more realistic.
The Catch
Trackman’s course library is only available with a Trackman simulator. A Trackman simulator starts at $29,490. That is not a typo. This is commercial-grade equipment that costs as much as a car.
If you have the budget, Trackman’s course library is the best in sim golf. If you do not have the budget, the courses do not matter because you cannot access them.
For most home sim buyers, GSPro is the better choice — 4,000 courses for $250/year with no hardware lock-in. Trackman is for commercial facilities, elite training centers, and the small number of home users who want the absolute best and have the budget for it.
But if you have access to a Trackman simulator, the course library is extraordinary. Five hundred fifty-eight courses. All LIDAR-scanned. All professional. New courses every month. Pebble Beach, St Andrews, Pinehurst No. 2, Bandon Dunes, Valderrama, Royal County Down, Royal Portrush — it is the best professionally licensed course library in sim golf.
