5 Ways Trackman Simulators Can Transform Your Golf Game

If you’ve ever hit a bucket of balls at the driving range and thought, “Huh… that felt good, but where did it actually go?” — then you’re going to love Trackman.

At 1611 Golf Club, we’ve outfitted every bay with Trackman simulators, the same technology used by the pros on the PGA Tour. And whether you’re a serious player looking to shave strokes off your handicap, or just someone who wants to out-drive your buddy on Saturday night, Trackman makes golf smarter, more fun, and way more addictive.

Here are five ways Trackman can completely change the way you play the game:

1. Instant Feedback on Every Swing

We love golf, but let’s be honest: it can be frustratingly mysterious. You hit a ball, it slices into the woods, and your buddy just shrugs and says, “Yeah, you came over the top.” (Whatever that means, right?)

With Trackman, the mystery is gone. Every single swing gives you instant data:

• Club speed

• Ball speed

• Launch angle

• Smash factor (yes, that’s a real thing, and yes, it sounds awesome)

• Spin rate

• Carry distance and total distance

It’s like having a coach, scientist, and hype man all rolled into one. Instead of guessing what went wrong, you actually know — and can fix it.

2. Play the World’s Best Courses Without Leaving DFW

Want to play Pebble Beach before dinner? How about teeing it up at St. Andrews after work? Trackman lets you travel the world’s most famous courses without ever booking a flight.

At 1611, you can step into a bay, pick a course, and suddenly you’re walking the same fairways as the legends. Except you’re also 20 feet from the bar, where a cold beer and wings are waiting for you.

And here’s the kicker: these aren’t “video game” graphics. Trackman courses are photorealistic, mapped down to the inch, so it feels as close as possible to the real thing.

Trackman's new release of Virtual Golf 3, brings 'Next-Level Realism in Virtual Golf'.

3. Practice That Actually Works

The old way of practicing:

• Go to the range.

• Hit 100 balls.

• Hope some of them go straight.

The Trackman way:

• Pick a specific target.

• Get feedback on every swing.

• Adjust in real time.

• Track your progress over time.

Trackman doesn’t just make practice more fun — it makes it effective. You can work on your driver accuracy, dial in your wedge distances, or even compete against yourself in skill challenges.

Think of it like this: the range is a treadmill (you’re moving, but not really going anywhere). Trackman is a personal trainer, helping you improve with purpose.

Trackman's Target Practice Range allows users to select targets from 20 yards to 300 yards.

4. Play (and Compete) With Friends

Golf is more fun with friends, and Trackman takes that to another level. At 1611, you can:

• Play a full 18 holes together indoors, rain or shine.

• Try fun games like closest-to-the-pin or long drive contests.

• Settle once and for all who really has the best swing in your group.

Trackman turns a night out into a social competition that’s part golf, part arcade, and part comedy show (depending on how your swing looks after a few pitchers).

It’s also the perfect setup for leagues and tournaments — which is why our 1611 leagues are such a hit. You’re competing, improving, and laughing the whole way through.

5. Learn From the Same Tech the Pros Use

This isn’t just some fancy gadget for weekend golfers. Trackman is trusted by the biggest names in golf — Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Brooke Henderson, and basically anyone who’s lifted a trophy in the last decade.

When you use it at 1611, you’re literally practicing with the same data-driven insights the pros get on tour. Except, again, you don’t have to be walking 7 miles in the heat or paying thousands for a private coach.

Whether you’re chasing scratch golf or just want bragging rights at the next family outing, Trackman is your shortcut to playing smarter and having more fun.

The Bonus: You’ll Actually Want to Practice

Here’s the sneaky thing about Trackman: it makes golf so engaging that you end up practicing more without even realizing it.

Instead of grinding away at the range, you’re:

• Competing against friends.

• Playing famous courses.

• Watching your stats improve.

And while you’re at it? You’re eating wings, sipping cocktails, and enjoying the best sports bar atmosphere in DFW. Not exactly a bad way to lower your handicap.
