What Is GSPro, and What Do You Need to Run It at Home?
Published · Updated
GSPro is golf-simulation software for a Windows PC that turns launch-monitor shot data into virtual golf. To use it at home, you need compatible tracking hardware, a suitable PC and display, and a safe hitting setup. Its annual subscription costs $250 USD plus applicable taxes, and some launch monitors require a separate paid plan to connect.
Launch monitor in, golf course out
Your launch monitor measures the shot. GSPro takes that data and draws ball flight, practice areas, and simulated courses. It doesn't replace the launch monitor, hitting mat, net or impact screen, computer, or display.
You can practice into a net while watching a separate TV or monitor. A projector and impact screen are another display arrangement; they aren't included with the software license.
Windows only
GSPro requires Windows 10 or Windows 11. An iPad or Mac can't replace that Windows PC for running GSPro. GSPro platform requirements
In the room, treat the PC like any other piece of equipment. It needs airflow, power, a reliable network connection, and a clean video run to the projector or display. Keep it outside the ball and club paths.
1080p or 4K
GSPro's recommended minimum for 1080p includes a 3060-class GPU and 16 GB of memory. Its higher 1080p recommendation uses an RTX 3070 or 3060 Ti; the 4K recommendation uses an RTX 3080 or better and 32 GB of memory. Check the current requirements against the resolution you plan to use. GSPro hardware guidance
The monitor's own connection software may add requirements. Choose the launch monitor and display resolution before buying the PC, so you're checking the whole software chain.
Is your launch monitor on the list?
GSPro names individual supported models, including Bushnell Launch Pro, Uneekor EYE MINI, Garmin R10 and R50, Rapsodo MLM2PRO, and Square Home. SkyTrak isn't on the official list. Check the exact model rather than assuming every device from a listed brand works. GSPro compatibility list
Some connections also need another license: GSPro lists FSX 2020 or FSX Play for GC3, GCQuad, and GCHawk, Gold for Bushnell Launch Pro, an active Pro Package for Uneekor, and Rapsodo Premium for MLM2PRO. Confirm those prerequisites before purchasing. GSPro license prerequisites
Where the PC fits in the order
Once you've checked hardware compatibility and the PC, budget for the annual subscription. GSPro lists $250 USD per year plus applicable taxes, and its former lifetime add-on is no longer sold. GSPro subscription options
The recurring subscription continues until canceled. Use GSPro's billing portal before the next billing date if you don't want another year; any manufacturer subscription has its own renewal settings. GSPro billing portal and subscription terms
