Your data stays synced across the web, Windows app, and your phone.

SimCap is the tournament platform and handicap tracker built exclusively for simulator golf. Think GHIN meets tournament director — but for the sim. Run tournaments with your crew — stroke play, scramble, best ball, and match play brackets. SimCap handles the scoring, leaderboards, and trophy cards automatically. Challenge friends head-to-head, post open challenges, and track every hole. SimCap works across every major simulator platform — GSPro, Trackman, Foresight, Full Swing, E6, and more. Your handicap index travels with you across every facility, every simulator. Log your rounds, track your index over time, and see exactly how your simulator conditions affect your differential — putting mode, wind, pin placement, and mulligans all factor in automatically. The more rounds logged across the SimCap community, the more accurately we calibrate difficulty modifiers for each platform and course.
