SkyTrak membership plans and prices

|---|---|---|

| Essential | $99.99 | The practice range, game evaluation and challenge libraries, for structured practice. No course play |

At SkyTrak's list prices, with the same plan every year:

In October 2026 SkyTrak was selling the ST MAX at $1,695 with a free first year of Core: Foresight. At that price, five years of Core: Foresight come to $2,894.96, and five years with Elite after the free year to $4,094.96. SkyTrak's whole lineup is on the SkyTrak discount code page.
Which SkyTrak membership to choose
- Basic if the SkyTrak is a practice tool for numbers on the driving range, with no structured practice or courses.
- Essential for structured practice without course play: the practice range, game evaluation and challenge libraries.
- Core: Foresight for course play on Foresight's courses. It is the plan SkyTrak calls its most popular, and the one included with the ST MAX in October 2026.
- Core: TrackMan for TrackMan's course list and the whole Pebble Beach Resort pack, for $50 more.
- Elite for both course libraries and the most new courses each month. With two or more golfers using the simulator, the extra courses go further.
Where you can play
- Windows: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. SkyTrak's ST MAX page gives a minimum of an Intel Core i5, 8 GB of memory, a 128 GB SSD and a GTX 1650 or Radeon 580; its membership page asks for at least an Intel i3-10100F or AMD Ryzen 2600.
- Mac and iPad: Apple M1 or newer, and macOS 13 Ventura or newer on a Mac.
- Android: a device from 2020 or newer, with 12 GB of memory and 64 GB of storage.
- iPhone: SkyTrak says no iPhone works with course play.
SkyTrak's 6.2 software, from September 2026, added new ground and green physics, a rebuilt Club Workshop and tournament mode. Jay tested it on the ST MAX in the SkyTrak 6.2 update.
What a membership does not cover
- GSPro: SkyTrak is not on GSPro's list of officially supported launch monitors, and no SkyTrak plan adds it. SkyTrak's course play is inside its own app.
- The hardware: GSV's code GOLFSIMULATORVIDEOS is for SkyTrak units and studio packages. Plans are priced separately.
- Renewal: plans run for a year and are managed in SkyTrak's Clubhouse account, where they can be renewed.
Comparing running costs with other brands? The golf simulator cost calculator adds the yearly fees for every launch monitor GSV covers, and SkyTrak vs Garmin R10 sets SkyTrak's plans against Garmin Golf.

SkyTrak membership questions
How much is a SkyTrak membership?
SkyTrak's plans are yearly: Essential $99.99, Core: Foresight $299.99, Core: TrackMan $349.99 and Elite $599.99, read on SkyTrak's site October 15, 2026. A free Basic plan covers the driving range.
Do you need a membership to use a SkyTrak?
Not for the driving range: SkyTrak's free Basic plan includes it. Course play needs Core or Elite, and the practice, game evaluation and challenge libraries need Essential or higher.
What is the difference between SkyTrak Core and Elite?
Core gives one course pack: 50 Foresight courses for $299.99 a year, or 52 TrackMan courses with the Pebble Beach Resort pack for $349.99. Elite, $599.99, gives both packs, two new courses a month and 10% off the SkyTrak shop.
Which SkyTrak membership is best?
It depends on how the simulator is used. For course play, Core: Foresight, the plan SkyTrak calls its most popular and the one it included with the ST MAX in October 2026. Elite suits a simulator with several golfers who want every course.
