Foresight Sports + PuttView: Sim Putting Solved

Foresight Sports just closed the biggest gap in simulator golf.

The company announced a strategic partnership with PuttView — the market leader in indoor putting technology — that finally lets you putt out on a real green inside your simulator bay. Not a gimmick. Not a carpet with a hole. A CNC-milled putting surface with augmented reality projections, automatic hole transitions, and full FSX Play integration.

That’s the press release version. What it actually means: for the first time, you can tee off on a Foresight simulator, approach the green, and then walk over to a physical putting surface that shows your exact line, breaks according to the course data, and tracks your ball with a high-speed camera. When you sink it, the software moves you to the next hole automatically. No menus. No tap-to-putt. No guessing whether that 8-footer actually broke left.

Simulator putting has been a joke for 25 years. Every brand slaps a short game mode on their software and calls it a day. Nobody — until now — built a system that treats putting with the same seriousness as the full swing. Foresight and PuttView just did.

What This Actually Is

The PuttView Simulator Series is a complete hardware-software package. You get a CNC-milled putting green with up to six real cups, a high-speed ball-tracking camera, an augmented reality projector, a tablet control interface, and the software integration that ties it all to FSX Play.

When your approach shot lands on the green in a round on FSX Play, the system automatically projects the putt onto your PuttView surface — showing the line, the break, and the distance from your ball position. You putt for real. The camera tracks it. The software registers it. Next hole.

The system also works in standalone mode for putting practice — drills, games, custom scenarios, and data analysis without launching a full simulator round.

There are two ways to buy it:

• The full PuttView Simulator Series — integrated with a Foresight SIM IN A BOX package, starting at £16,500 (approximately $21,000 USD).
• The software integration upgrade — for existing owners of both a Foresight simulator and a PuttView system, you can connect the two for £2,995 (approximately $3,800 USD).

Steve Dacre, Sales Director at Foresight Sports Europe, said customers have been asking for this for a decade. That tracks. The inability to putt realistically has been the #1 complaint in every simulator survey for as long as sim golf has existed. Foresight is the first major brand to actually do something about it.

What This Means for Sim Buyers

If you’re building a Foresight-based simulator right now, the PuttView integration changes your planning.

You now have a real decision to make: do you leave room for a putting surface in front of your hitting area, or do you stick with FSX Play’s tap-to-putt? The answer depends on how you use your sim. If you’re running competitions, hosting friends, or building a dedicated training space, the PuttView integration is hard to ignore. If you’re hitting balls alone at 10 PM on a Tuesday, you probably don’t need it.

The price point is real. £16,500 is Foresight’s addressable market — people already spending $10,000-20,000 on simulator packages. This isn’t a budget add-on. But for anyone who’s played simulator golf and felt the frustration of watching their playing partner tap in 18 auto-putts, the premium starts to make sense.

The bigger question is whether this trickles down. PuttView technology has been premium-only since day one. This partnership keeps that positioning. Don’t expect a $500 putting green add-on for the GC3 anytime soon. But if Foresight proves the market exists, expect Uneekor, Trackman, and Full Swing to respond.

What This Means for the Industry

This is the shot across the bow that the simulator industry needed.

Putting has been the elephant in the room for every major platform. Trackman has TPS putting. Uneekor has the Refinery putting module. Full Swing has its green mechanics. None of them use a real physical surface with augmented reality. They’re all variations of “tap a button and watch your ball roll on screen.”

Foresight just declared that good enough isn’t good enough anymore.

The partnership also signals where Foresight is heading under Revelyst Golf Technology. After the Foresight app redesign with the Digital Training Facility earlier this year, this is the second major software-ecosystem play from Foresight in 2026. They’re not just selling launch monitors. They’re building a complete indoor golf environment.

And if you’re a GC3 or GCQuad owner wondering if your hardware supports this — the PuttView integration runs through FSX Play, which works with all Foresight launch monitors. Your existing unit can drive this system. You just need the space and the budget for the putting surface.

The Bottom Line

Foresight solved simulator putting. It’s the first time a major brand has integrated a physical putting surface with AR projection and real ball tracking into their simulator ecosystem.

The price tag is steep. £16,500 is a niche-within-a-niche product. But the technology direction is what matters. Every Foresight buyer from this point forward has the option to build a simulator that doesn’t compromise on the short game.

If you’re in the market for a Foresight setup, add the PuttView option to your research list. And if you already own both systems, the £2,995 software integration upgrade is the cheapest path to the best putting experience in simulator golf.
