What Golf Simulator Software Works with the Square Golf Launch Monitor?

The Square Golf launch monitor has quickly become a very popular golf simulator choice for a few reasons.

First, it’s the only camera-based golf launch monitor under $1,000. Which means that golfers tight on space and budget are finding it to be a great indoor option.

Second, Square has introduced their own native simulator software with a flexible, pay-as-you-go model that eliminates costly subscriptions. Each hole costs just one credit, and the device includes 1,000 credits—equivalent to more than 55 rounds of golf. Additional credits are affordable, starting at $0.02 each. On top of that, the proprietary Square sim software is outstanding with surprisingly vivid graphics and course detail. Plus, the innovative Swing Stick that’s included with the Square allows for simulator use without having to hit real golf balls.

Third, the Square Golf launch monitor is fully compatible with popular third-party simulator software options like GSPro, E6 Connect, and Awesome Golf. But the great thing is that users don’t have to pay a connection fee to Square in order to use third-party software.

And finally, because the Square also excels in short-game precision, including putting, it makes for a better simulator experience than with competing affordable launch monitors where only auto-putt is available.

Add it all up, and you can see why the Square is one of the hottest golf simulators of 2025.

Now, let’s make sure you understand all of your software and hardware options for using a Square to its fullest potential.

Square Golf Native Simulator Software

 

 

Right out of the box, all Square owners get access to 10 simulated golf courses with high-quality 3D graphics.

Now, these are fictional golf courses. You won’t find any familiar names or popular tour stops.

But, the graphics quality and detail on these courses is quite impressive.

And there are two things that make using Square’s included native software appealing:

1. You don’t need any kind of special equipment. With the same device you use to run the Square app, you can play simulator golf.
2. You don’t have to pay for any more simulated golf than you want to play. Rather than the common subscription model, you can pay per hole that you play. So, if you don’t play much, you won’t spend much.

What kind of computer do I need to run the Square Golf Simulator Software with the Square Golf Launch Monitor?

However, golfers have the choice to wager money in closest-to-the-pin contests against similar-skilled players who are using the same simulator software. Options range from free contests to buy-ins of more than $100.

A Lot of Golf Simulator Options with the Square

As if it weren’t enough to get a camera-based golf launch monitor that’s accurate and feature-packed for just $699.99!

To additionally be able to play simulator golf using the Square Golf launch monitor’s native software on a pay-as-you-play basis is going to be wildly popular for golfers who are tired of subscriptions.

And to then have the option to connect to E6 Connect, GSPro, and Awesome Golf without having to pay anything beyond what those third-party simulator software providers charge is huge!

It’s easy to see why the Square is very quickly becoming such a popular golf simulator choice.
