E6 Connect Golf Simulation Software

E6 Connect is TruGolf's golf simulation software for Windows PCs, sold here as a 1-year Basic subscription with 27 courses for $300 or a 1-year Expanded subscription with the larger course library for $600.

Connecting Golfers, Gamers, and Fans To the Future of Golf:

E6 Connect Golf Simulation Software is the highest-quality, most lifelike and customizable golf software ever created. Use it with launch monitors to teach or train on the driving range, to compete in leagues and online events at a commercial facility, or just play fun games at home with friends and family.

E6 Connect features stunning 4k graphics and more flexibility, customization, and control than ever before.

What makes the new generation of golf software stand out is its massive network designed to connect golfers around the world, from private peer-to-peer play to custom to global tournaments. The new content includes Courses, Mini-Games, Skills Combines, Training Aids, and more.

TruGolf is creating a network that will link virtual and real golf together to make the sport more relevant, exciting, and accessible for players all over the world. From golf gaming to real-world play, E6 is the software hub of golf. This solution is the ultimate tool to drive engagement, measure performance, and provide meaningful competition worldwide.

A perfect blend of Art and Science

Since 1986, TruGolf has transported golfers from the comfort of their own homes to the most striking golf destination in the world.

TruGolf's process is proprietary. TruGolf's team of artists builds all objects inside of the game - faithfully recreating trees, rocks, and plants and placing them as they appear on the real course. The E6 Connect's data is derived from LiDAR mapping; accurate within centimeters. This process is why E6 Connect experience is more immersive than other offerings. 

The new engine, E6 Connect, features high-definition visuals, 3D surround sound, and amazingly realistic water and ocean effects. These upgrades have afforded TruGolf the opportunity to tailor the experience on each course; creating a more lifelike golf experience for the users.

With the all-new "Atmosphere" settings in E6 Connect, players can create an overcast day in Oregon, a clear afternoon in Florida, or a pastel-colored sunset in South Carolina. These adjustments make your round of virtual golf truly transportive.

From Kiawah Island to Bandon Dunes, Royal Melbourne to Valderrama - when playing E6, users will understand what it means to play at these destinations.

 

Our Review

E6 Connect Review: Our Take

Buy E6 Connect if you want LiDAR-mapped real courses, peer-to-peer play for up to 8 golfers and 4K graphics on a Windows PC, from $300 a year.

It fits home simulator owners who want real-world courses and online events, and facilities that run leagues. Best for 2,500+ community-created courses instead: GSPro.

Pros

• Course data from LiDAR mapping, accurate within centimeters, with trees, rocks and plants placed as they appear on the real course.
• 27 courses in Basic, including Gleneagles, Loch Lomond and Pinehurst No 8; Expanded adds Bandon Dunes, Pinehurst No 2, Torrey Pines and more.
• Peer-to-peer play for up to 8 players in Stroke, Scramble, Best Ball and mini-games.
• Player Profiles remember your settings and record every shot, even on the practice ranges.
• For facilities: simulator usage analytics, 52-week leagues and a diagnostic tool.

Cons

• A subscription: $300 a year for Basic, $600 a year for Expanded, while TGC 2019 is a one-time $949.
• Needs a Windows gaming PC with an Nvidia graphics card (Nvidia 1070 or equivalent) and an internet connection.
• The license sold here is the Windows PC version; the iOS version is sold only in E6's own app.

E6 Connect Features:

• Peer-To-Peer Play: This is turn-based play, creating a true head-to-head competition between simulator golfers. Now, owners can play against golfers around the world in real time, with peer-to-peer functionality--one source, every platform. Modes of Play include Stroke, Scramble, Best Ball and even the new Mini-Games. Peer to Peer can handle up to 8 players at once, and in time will have a match-making feature to place you against golfers with a similar skill level. Also, you can post your shot history to any course you play--leaving your mark for new golfers to play against in the future. This archived telemetry ensures users will always have someone to play against.
• Player Profiles: TruGolf has expanded the functionality of Player Profiles with E6 Connect. Now, Player Profiles will remember your settings, like preferred Camera, Tracer Settings, Language, and Tee-Position. Player Profiles will record every shot inside of E6 Connect -- even on the practice ranges. Players can catalog and compare their practice and performance whenever they log-in, no matter how they choose to play the game.
• iOS: E6 Connect also runs on iPad and iPhone, but E6 sells that version only inside its own iOS app. The license sold here is the Windows PC version.
• 4K Compatability: TruGolf's mission has always been to faithfully recreate the game of golf -- and this new engine is a huge step forward. The team has gone through and rebuilt all the assets inside the game to scale towards 4K. Now, every rock, tree, and bush are in full high definition. The best part of the new engine is that it will continue to grow -- throughout the next several years, this software will continue to improve visually as TruGolf adds new animations, volumetric grass, and more.
• Enhanced Physics: E6 Connect has the most realistic and complete ball flight model available that has been developed for over 30 years.
• Rebuilt 3D Courses: The top-tier course library inside of E6 has been entirely rebuilt. TruGolf's team of artists and programmers have completely rebuilt and recreated our 3D courses.
• Skill Challenges: E6 Connect partnered with Mike Malaska, 2011 PGA Teacher of the Year, to develop games and skill-building exercises.
• Pin Indicator: The all-new Pin Indicator feature increases the visibility of the pin. The Pin Indicator is a virtual range finder that shows users the distance left to the pin and any elevation change between them and the hole.
• Stimp Rating: E6 Connect now has an adjustable Stimp Rating for greens and Intelligent Pin Positions that do not allow illegal pins to be placed when setting up a round. As the Stimp increases, certain pins become unavailable.
• Practice Ranges: TruGolf now has a suite of practice ranges that will be available inside of E6 Connect -- we have a Small Targets, Large Targets, Shot Shaping and Traditional Flat Driving Range for users.

Commercial Use Benefits:

• Analytics: In addition to the new engine, TruGolf has built an entire web companion site to help run your business. Now, your software will record simulator analytics, to help make sense of your business. These analytics include Popular Times, Number of Shots Taken, Uptime Versus In-Game Uptime, and Popular Modes of Play. For customers with more than one unit, this analytics can be broken down to each individual simulator you own. See breakdowns of usage statistics over multiple units, and see how your business is distributed across your simulators.
• Leagues: Facility owners can create and manage 52-week long Leagues, with flexible point payouts. In addition to being able to create traditional Stroke Play, Best Ball, and Scramble Tournaments, facilities can now combine multiple tournaments to create a League, with a cumulative point winner similar to the FedEx Cup. All results for Leagues and Tournaments are viewable and stored through E6Golf Online. Any member of your Clubhouse will receive updates about your facility in their Newsfeeds, and you can message and them through E6Golf Online.
• Diagnostic: The all-new E6 Connect diagnostic tool helps TruGolf Support team get your systems running and calibrated faster than ever before. When combined with Simulator Usage Analytics, TruGolf can help prevent any downtime or system failure -- helping your business run better than ever. In the event of a service disruption, TruGolf's technicians can run a report and immediately find the point of failure in your technology. Now, there is no need to diagnose a problem -- your simulator will tell us with E6 Connect.
• Annual Subscription: An annual subscription gives owners access to a wealth of content in this new engine, including Extra Online Events, Peer-to-Peer Play, 4 New Courses each year, Quick Play Games, Driving Ranges, Training Aids, Skills Challenges and more.
