Augusta National is the most-asked-about course in sim golf. Every new owner opens GSPro and types “Augusta” into the search bar. They find nothing. The club does not license its name or branding to any simulator software. The search returns zero results.

The course is there. It is just hiding under a different name.

Georgia Golf Club: The Best Version

The version you want is called Georgia Golf Club by creator Tekbud. It has a 4.7/5 rating from the community with thousands of downloads. It is the most-played course in the entire GSPro library. Search “Georgia Golf Club” in the GSPro Course Manager and it pops right up.

There is also a “Georgia Golf Club Fall” version with autumn colors. That is the same course with a different seasonal texture pack. Download the standard version first.

Tekbud built this course using LiDAR elevation data. The slopes are real. The greens at Augusta run at a 13 on the stimpmeter during tournament week, and the sim version supports that. Set your green speed to 13 and firmness to maximum. That is the real Augusta. A calm, soft Augusta is a public park with flowers.

What the course gets right:

• The routing of Amen Corner is correct. Eleven bends left, twelve plays into the wind over Rae’s Creek, thirteen is the dogleg-left par 5 where you decide whether to go for it.
• The white fairway bunkers are in the right places. The bunker on 18 is left of the fairway exactly where it should be to catch a pulled drive.
• The elevation on 10 is right. The downhill tee shot gives you that same drop in your stomach when you see the fairway fall away.
• The pond on 16 is the correct shape and carries the right distance.
• The green complexes are faithful enough that you will recognize every hole by the second shot.

What you miss:

• No azalea textures. The course has generic vegetation, not the specific landscaping Augusta is famous for.
• Some of the subtle internal green contours get simplified. Augusta’s greens have micro-contours that LiDAR at standard resolution cannot fully capture.
• The 12th green is wide enough but the back-left pin position (the Sunday pin) plays slightly flatter than the real version.
• No Magnolia Lane. No clubhouse. No scorecards with the Augusta National logo.

None of these matter when you are standing over a 7-iron on 12 with the wind switching directions.

How to Install

Open the GSPro Launcher. Click Course Manager. Search “Georgia Golf Club.” Click Download. The course downloads in about 30 seconds on a standard internet connection. It is about 1.2 GB.

Set your tee to Tournament (TIPS), green speed to 13, firmness to maximum, wind to 10-15 mph. Those are the Masters settings. Anything else is a different course.

The Other GSPro Versions

There are older versions in the GSPro library. “Augusta National V2” by Crazy Canuck was the gold standard before Tekbud’s LiDAR version. It is still a good course, but it uses hand-built elevation data instead of LiDAR. The greens are flatter and the fairways are wider. Download it for nostalgia. Download Georgia Golf Club for accuracy.

Some older ports from TGC 2019 also exist under various names. They look dated. The textures are lower resolution and the lighting is flat. GSPro’s rendering engine has improved significantly since 2023, and the new courses built for GSPro-native look noticeably better than the imports.

How Augusta Plays on GSPro

The 10th hole is the first real test. It plays 495 yards downhill with a green that slopes front to back like a slide. The fairway bunker on the right catches drives that start too far right. The approach is a mid-iron to a green that repels anything short of the pin. On GSPro, the downhill lie reads correctly in the shot calculation. You will hit it further than you expect.

The 11th is the real start of Amen Corner. It bends left around the pond. The green is narrow and guarded by water on the left. On GSPro, the approach plays into a crosswind that shifts when you enter the treeline. The LiDAR data captures the slight downhill slope in the fairway that makes the second shot play a club less.

The 12th is the most famous par 3 in golf. On GSPro, it plays 155 yards from the tournament tees. The wind swirls in the treeline. The green is shallow front to back. The front bunker eats any ball that lands short. The key to playing 12 on GSPro is the same as the real course: commit to your club and swing through it. If you try to guide it in, you short-side yourself into the bunker.

The 13th is the reachable par 5. On GSPro, the dogleg left is accurate. The creek that runs down the left side of the fairway is there. The decision to go for it in two depends on your carry distance and the wind direction. The green is sloped back to front and guarded by Rae’s Creek.

The 15th plays as a three-shot par 5 for most sim golfers. The pond in front of the green is the right distance — 280 yards from the fairway, right where you expect it. The eagle putt is uphill and right-to-left. The green is one of the flatter ones on the course, but that is accurate to the real 15th.

The 16th is the par 3 with the famous Sunday pin on the back-left shelf. On GSPro, the shelf is there. The pond is front-left. The green slopes hard toward the water. The play is to aim at the center of the green and let the slope feed the ball toward the pin. If you aim directly at the flag, you are in the water.

Who Should Play Augusta on GSPro

Every sim golfer should play it at least once. That is the easy answer.

The course is worth playing repeatedly if you want to understand what makes Augusta hard. The greens are fast, the approaches require precision, and the wind demands respect. It is not a course where you can spray it around and still shoot a good number. The sim version punishes the same mistakes the real version punishes — short-side yourself on 12, hook it into the trees on 13, leave it short on 15.

It is also the best course to demo GSPro for friends. When someone asks what sim golf is like, you drop them into the 10th tee at Augusta on a firm setup. They hit one drive, they see the fairway fall away, and they are hooked.

What GSPro Needs to Improve

The course is excellent for a community build. It is not Augusta National Golf Club. The real course has 80 years of design refinement, specific grass varieties, and a level of greenkeeping that borders on the obsessive. The sim version is a shape on a screen with physics applied to it.

Georgia Golf Club on GSPro is the best approximation of Augusta National available to anyone who is not a member. That is a high bar, and Tekbud cleared it.
