What Is E6 Connect and Which Simulators Support It
- Jul 15
- 4 min read
E6 Connect is a golf simulation software platform developed by TruGolf. It runs on PC (Windows 10/11) and iOS, pairs with more than 30 launch monitor models from brands including TrackMan, FlightScope, Foresight Sports, SkyTrak, and Garmin, and is the most widely adopted simulation software in commercial golf venues worldwide.
A subscription starts at $300 per year for home users. For golfers buying or building a simulator, E6 Connect is one of two dominant software choices alongside GSPro, and understanding what it includes and what it costs is a straightforward part of the buying decision.
What E6 Connect Includes
E6 Connect is built around course play, practice tools, and online competition. The core features available across both subscription tiers are:
Course library: Over 15,000 courses available depending on subscription tier, rendered in 4K. Courses in E6 are professionally built by TruGolf, not user-generated, which keeps quality consistent across the library.
Club Fitting and Bag Mapping: Tools that help you compare ball performance across different clubs using your actual launch data. Useful for confirming whether your current setup fits your swing numbers.
Skills Challenges: Short game and driving challenges built around specific data targets. Tracks improvement over time.
Full Practice mode: Open range practice with access to your full shot data.
Online multiplayer: Peer-to-peer head-to-head matches and global tournaments. Available to both Basic and Expanded subscribers.
Clubhouse (commercial): A web-based management layer for commercial venues. Operators can create leagues, schedule events, manage memberships, set handicaps, and view simulator usage analytics across multiple bays.
Subscription Tiers and Pricing
E6 Connect runs on an annual subscription model. There is no one-time perpetual license for new purchases at the home tier.
Basic Subscription: $300 per year
Includes 27 courses that rotate monthly. Practice tools, club fitting, skills challenges, and online multiplayer are all included. The rotating library means you have access to 27 courses at any given time, but the specific courses change throughout the year.
Expanded Subscription: $600 per year
Includes access to the full E6 Connect course library (excluding individually sold premium content). New course releases are included as they ship. The Expanded tier is the better choice for commercial venues and regular home users who want consistent access to their preferred courses without monthly rotation.
Premium Course Content: Certain courses are sold separately outside the subscription tiers.
Bundled Licenses: Several launch monitors include E6 Connect at purchase. The FlightScope Mevo Gen2 comes with a lifetime 8-course E6 bundle at no additional subscription cost. Foresight Sports launch monitors can run E6 Connect, but Foresight requires users to also hold an FSX 2020 license, which is purchased separately through Foresight.
System Requirements
E6 Connect runs on Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit) and iOS. For Windows:
Minimum: Intel i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1070 or equivalent dedicated GPU with DirectX 11 support, 25 GB storage, internet connection required
Recommended (for E6 Apex tier): Intel i7 10th Gen or newer, 16 GB RAM DDR4 2400MHz, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 with 12 GB VRAM, M.2 NVMe SSD 256 GB
An internet connection is required for activation and for online multiplayer. E6 Connect does not run offline.
Launch Monitor Compatibility
E6 Connect has broader hardware compatibility than most other simulation platforms. Confirmed compatible models include:
TrackMan: TrackMan 4, TrackMan 3e
FlightScope: X3, X2, Xi Tour, Mevo Gen2, Mevo+
Foresight Sports: GCQuad, GC3, GC2, GC Hawk (FSX 2020 license required alongside E6)
SkyTrak: SkyTrak, SkyTrak+
Garmin: Approach R10, R50
Uneekor: Eye XO, QED
Ernest Sports: ES2020, ES16
Other supported devices include Rapsodo, Ditect, VTrack, Square Golf, PiTrac, Impact Vision, and several additional brands.
The breadth of compatibility is one reason E6 Connect became the default software choice for commercial venues. A facility that upgrades its launch monitors does not need to change software.
How E6 Connect Compares to GSPro
GSPro is the other widely used simulation platform. The two differ in a few meaningful ways:
Course library: GSPro has over 200,000 user-generated courses. E6 has a smaller professionally built library. If course variety is the priority, GSPro offers more options. If course quality consistency matters more, E6's approach is different.
Platform: GSPro is Windows-only. E6 Connect runs on both Windows and iOS.
Pricing: GSPro is $250 per year. E6 Basic is $300 per year, E6 Expanded is $600 per year.
Commercial tools: E6 Clubhouse is built specifically for commercial venues with league management, analytics, and multi-bay event management. GSPro has a strong online tournament community but fewer operator-facing commercial tools.
Visual quality: E6 Connect is regarded as the more polished platform visually, with consistent rendering across its professionally designed course library.
For home use, both platforms are reasonable choices depending on whether course variety or commercial-grade polish matters more to you. For commercial venues, E6 Connect's Clubhouse tools and hardware compatibility breadth make it the dominant choice in professional installations.
