Explained: Trackman Virtual Golf 3 at Next Level Golf’s State-of-the-Art Indoor Golf Studio

Trackman Virtual Golf 3 brings the experience of playing and practising real golf indoors, using advanced Trackman technology to recreate every shot in a highly realistic virtual environment.

At Next Level Golf in Sunbury-on-Thames, we use Trackman to help golfers of every ability practise effectively, understand their game and enjoy golf whatever the weather. Whether you’re a complete beginner, trying to lower your handicap or simply want to play some of the world’s best courses indoors, here’s what you need to know.

Trackman Virtual Golf 3 is Trackman’s latest virtual golf experience, combining accurate shot tracking, realistic ball physics and highly detailed virtual golf courses. You hit a real golf ball with a real club inside our studio. Trackman measures the shot and instantly recreates the resulting ball flight on screen.

It’s more than simply hitting balls at a simulator. Virtual Golf creates the decisions and challenges you’d encounter on a real course, while giving you valuable information about your performance. Learn more about Trackman’s golf simulator technology.

Trackman Virtual Golf 3 works by measuring your real golf shot and using that data to accurately reproduce its flight within the virtual environment. Choose your club, set up normally and hit towards the screen. Trackman 4 uses radar and camera technology to capture detailed information about your ball and club. Hit a fade and you’ll see a fade. Hit one straight down the middle and that’s where it should go. Send one towards the trees and, unfortunately, technology won’t rescue you!

Our purpose-built studios combine Trackman 4, high-speed cameras and video playback, making them ideal for practice and professional coaching. Explore our indoor Trackman golf studios.

Virtual Golf 3 makes indoor golf more immersive through improved graphics, realistic physics and detailed recreations of real golf courses. Courses include features such as fairways, bunkers, greens, elevation changes and surrounding landscapes.

The result is an experience where you’re not just hitting balls – you’re playing golf. Which club should you hit? Where’s the trouble? Should you attack the flag? Where’s the safest miss? These decisions matter because improving isn’t only about creating a better swing. It’s also about learning to play better golf.

Yes, Trackman can help improve your golf by making practice measurable, targeted and easier to understand. Rather than repeatedly hitting balls and relying on feel, Trackman can help answer useful questions:

• How far do I actually carry each club?
• Why does my driver keep going right?
• How consistent are my distances?
• Where are my biggest misses?
• Is the change I’m making actually improving my shots?

Trackman gives you immediate feedback, allowing you to measure changes and practise with a clear purpose. Combined with professional coaching, that can make your practice considerably more productive.

No, you don’t need to understand every Trackman number to benefit from the technology. Club speed, ball speed, spin rate, launch angle, club path and face angle can initially sound complicated. That’s where professional coaching helps.

Our Trackman-certified PGA Professional coaches identify which information matters to your game and explain it in straightforward terms. Sometimes one or two relevant numbers are far more useful than trying to analyse everything. Discover our PGA Professional golf lessons or meet our coaches.

Yes, Trackman Virtual Golf is ideal for beginners because it provides a relaxed, controlled environment in which to learn golf. A golf course or busy driving range can sometimes feel intimidating when you’re just starting out. Indoors, there’s no group waiting behind you, no bad weather and no expectation that you should already know what you’re doing. Our PGA Professionals coach players at every level. If you’ve never picked up a golf club before, that’s absolutely fine.

Yes, Trackman is particularly useful for experienced golfers who want detailed feedback and more focused practice. You can establish accurate carry distances, improve driver performance, understand your shot patterns, sharpen wedge control or practise specific shots. You can then take that work onto a virtual course. Instead of repeatedly practising a 100-yard wedge, for example, you can face a realistic 100-yard approach with trouble short and a score on the line. It’s about moving from practising your swing to practising your golf.

Trackman Virtual Golf gives you access to hundreds of virtual golf courses, including detailed recreations of famous venues around the world. The Trackman course library includes names such as St Andrews, Valderrama and PGA National alongside hundreds of other courses. You can therefore walk into our Sunbury-on-Thames studio and moments later be virtually standing on the tee of an incredible golf course thousands of miles away. Explore the Trackman virtual course library.

Yes, you can book a Trackman studio session at Next Level Golf without having a golf lesson. Use your session for individual practice, working through your clubs or enjoying a virtual round with friends. Next Level Golf has two purpose-built studios equipped with Trackman 4, with our larger studio comfortably accommodating a fourball. Find out more about Trackman studio sessions.

Your first Trackman session will be straightforward and relaxed, and you don’t need any previous simulator experience. If you’re practising independently, we’ll help you get comfortable with the system. During a lesson, your PGA Professional can combine Trackman data with video analysis to assess your game and identify clear areas for improvement. The technology also makes it easier to measure your progress over time instead of relying purely on how your swing feels.

Combining Trackman with a PGA Professional lesson gives you accurate performance data alongside the expertise needed to understand what it means. Trackman can tell us exactly what your club and ball are doing, but data alone doesn’t necessarily tell you what to change.

That’s where our Trackman-certified PGA Professional coaches come in. They can interpret the information, combine it with what they see in your swing and determine what will make the biggest difference. Technology measures. A coach interprets. Find out more about golf lessons at Next Level Golf.

Yes, indoor Trackman golf allows you to practise throughout winter without your game being dictated by the British weather. Dark evenings, rain, frost and waterlogged practice areas can make maintaining your golf difficult. Our indoor studios provide a controlled environment for year-round practice, so when spring arrives you can head back outside having continued to work on your game.
