A launch monitor is only as engaging as the software around it, and this is one of the areas where Square Golf is stronger than many golfers expect.
The hardware matters, but the reason many people buy Square Golf is that it gives them multiple ways to practise and play rather than just showing a few numbers after each shot.
That includes range work, data screens, target games, putting practice, course play and wider integrations like GSPro and E6 Connect.
This guide explains what you can actually do with Square Golf software.
Learn how Square Golf launch monitors work and whether they are a good fit for home practice or simulator setups.

Range Mode And Data Mode

The two core practice experiences are range mode and data mode. Range mode gives visual feedback with a rendered ball flight, which makes it ideal for everyday indoor practice. You can hit through the bag and see a much more lifelike representation of the shot than you get from a basic text-only readout.
Data mode takes a more analytical approach. It is designed for golfers who want to focus on the numbers rather than the visuals. Square Golf lists ball metrics such as speed, direction, angle, spin rate, spin axis, apex, carry, run and total, plus club metrics when the club marker is used.
That split works well because not every practice session needs the same feel. Sometimes you just want to hit and see the ball flight. Sometimes you want to work on launch, spin or face delivery in a more technical way.

Closest To The Pin, Putting Practice And Course Play

Square Golf also leans into practice variety. The official software pages highlight closest-to-the-pin mode, where distances and green speeds can be adjusted to create more purposeful target practice. That is a useful bridge between simple range sessions and full rounds because it puts pressure on distance control.
Putting practice is another valuable inclusion. Many home launch monitor systems are heavily weighted toward full swings, but Square Golf promotes a dedicated putting mode designed to simulate different putt lengths and green speeds.
Then there is game and multi-game mode, which is where Square Golf starts to feel like a proper simulator platform rather than a training aid. The native software includes course play, and the official pricing page says 1,000 welcome credits are included, enough for more than 55 rounds for one player.

GSPro, E6 Connect And The Wider Ecosystem

The biggest sign that Square Golf is more than a starter product is the support for external simulator software. Square Golf promotes GSPro integration and highlights 500+ user-created courses, local and online play and 4K graphics. It also markets compatibility with E6 Connect.
That matters because simulator buyers often want an upgrade path. They may start with native software, then move into a wider simulator ecosystem later. GSPro support in particular makes Square Golf much more attractive to golfers who want a richer and longer-lasting home simulator experience.
It also means your buying decision is not only about what the device can do today. It is about whether the ecosystem gives you room to grow.
