How do I get started?

To participate in the worldwide indoor golf club, play and organize an Online Tournament we recommend the following requirements:

  • Installation of LS Golf 3 software version 3.1.0 or higher, with the Play Online feature enabled
  • Your location needs to be signed up through the Full Swing Golf Indoor Golf Club website
  • Each of your simulators need to be registered
Aside from playing a Full Swing Golf hosted Online Tournament, as a golf center organizer you will be able to create and organize your own tournament using the Online Management Suite. The Online Management Suite is a customizable tool that allows the golf center organizer to create an Online Tournament indoor gaming experience.


Simulator Software Installation

To run Online Tournaments, it is essential that your simulator have the latest update LS Golf 3 software version 3.1.0 or higher installed.

If you do not see the Play Online button located in the LS Golf 3 Main Menu, your software may not be compatible. Online Tournament play is only available for LS Golf 3 software version 3.1.0 or higher. Please contact tournaments@fullswinggolf.com to get a free* copy of the latest version.

*A free software update requires that you already purchased a previous version of LS Golf 3. Shipping and handling charges may apply.
