TGC 2019 vs E6 Connect vs GSPro: Golf Simulator Software Comparison
TGC 2019, E6 Connect, and GSPro are the three golf simulator software platforms that have dominated the home and commercial simulator market for the past several years. Each takes a different approach to course quality, pricing, and launch monitor compatibility, making this golf simulator software comparison relevant to anyone choosing a simulator setup in 2026.
Cero Golf installs simulators across the UAE and GCC using launch monitors from TrackMan, FlightScope, Foresight Sports, SkyTrak, and Garmin, all of which are compatible with one or more of these software platforms. Software choice is one of the first decisions to make when specifying a simulator build.
What Is TGC 2019
TGC 2019 (The Golf Club 2019) was developed by HB Studios and became popular among home simulator users for its large library of community-created courses. As of 2026, the software has been discontinued and is no longer available for new purchase. Users who already own a licence can still run it in offline mode for local play, but online features and multiplayer are no longer active.
The course library was its main selling point: over 150,000 community-designed courses were available through the platform, covering everything from real-world replicas to fictional layouts. Course quality varied significantly because all content was user-generated.
TGC 2019 was a one-time purchase priced at approximately $900. It supported a range of launch monitors at the time of active development, but with the software discontinued and no further updates, compatibility with newer hardware is not guaranteed.
Who it suits now: Existing owners who want to continue using it for offline solo rounds. It is not a recommended starting point for a new simulator build in 2026.
What Is E6 Connect
E6 Connect is developed by TruGolf and is the most widely used software in commercial simulator environments, including hotel venues, country clubs, and entertainment facilities. It offers officially licensed courses from recognised venues, rendered in 4K.
Pricing
E6 Connect runs on an annual subscription model with two tiers:
Basic: $300 per year — rotating content library throughout the year
Expanded: $600 per year — full access to the E6 Connect course library
Course Library
The library currently includes over 15,000 courses, with licensed renditions of courses like Bethpage Black, Royal Portrush, and Pebble Beach. TruGolf has also introduced AI-powered course creation tools to expand the on-demand library.
Launch Monitor Compatibility
E6 Connect is compatible with over 30 launch monitor models. Among the brands Cero Golf supplies, compatibility includes:
Foresight Sports (GC3, GCQuad, GCQuad MAX)
SkyTrak (SkyTrak+, SkyTrak ST MAX)
Garmin (R10, R50)
Platform
E6 Connect runs on Windows PC and iOS. The 2026 PC requirements include Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel i7 10th Gen or newer, 24GB RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 12GB VRAM, and an NVMe SSD.
Who it suits: Commercial installations and hospitality venues where licensed course recognition matters to guests. Also appropriate for home users who want a curated, high-resolution course experience with broad launch monitor compatibility.
What Is GSPro
GSPro is a Windows-based simulator platform developed by Full Swing Golf, targeted primarily at home users and simulator enthusiasts. It has become the most used software among the online simulator community and is the most discussed platform on forums like r/golfsimulator.
Pricing
GSPro costs $250 per year and covers all features, courses, online multiplayer, and the Sim Golf Tour competitive tournament series. There are no tier options. Two exceptions apply: the Bushnell Launch Pro requires a separate $250 per year GSPro Connector licence, and Uneekor units require Uneekor's Pro tier at $199 per year for third-party software access.
Course Library
GSPro has over 1,000 courses as of mid-2026, including LIDAR-scanned layouts and community-contributed designs. The library is smaller than TGC 2019's archive, but the quality of course renditions tends to be more consistent because submissions go through a review process.
Launch Monitor Compatibility
GSPro supports a broad range of launch monitors. Among brands Cero Golf supplies:
Foresight Sports (GC3, GCQuad)
SkyTrak (SkyTrak+, SkyTrak ST MAX)
Garmin
TrackMan does not currently have native GSPro integration.
Platform
GSPro is Windows only and does not have an iOS or mobile option.
Who it suits: Home users who want a strong physics engine, active online competitive play, and a lower annual cost. Works well with photometric launch monitors like the Foresight GC3 and GCQuad.

Which Software Should You Choose
For a new simulator build, TGC 2019 is not a recommended choice. Its online features are no longer active and it is not available for purchase.
Between E6 Connect and GSPro, the decision comes down to use case and launch monitor choice.
Choose E6 Connect if the installation is commercial, the launch monitor is a TrackMan, or the priority is licensed course recognition and a polished out-of-the-box experience. The Expanded plan at $600 per year gives full access to a large licensed library and works across the widest range of hardware.
Choose GSPro if the build is residential, the launch monitor is a Foresight GC3, GCQuad, or SkyTrak, and the user wants active online competition at a lower annual cost. The physics engine and ball flight realism are frequently cited as advantages for practice-focused users.
Both platforms offer free trials and are regularly updated, so testing them before committing is straightforward.
Software and Launch Monitor Selection at Cero Golf
Software compatibility is determined by the launch monitor, not the simulator enclosure. The right sequence when planning a build is to select the software first, confirm which launch monitors support it, and then choose the enclosure and projector to fit the space.
Cero Golf offers Anywhere Golf Simulator Bundles with Foresight, FlightScope, Garmin, SkyTrak, and TrackMan launch monitors, starting from AED 15,059, available across the UAE and GCC.
