Set up in three steps.
Install on your PC
Install Course Control from the Microsoft Store on your Windows PC. It connects to GSPro and starts with Windows.
Scan the QR code
Open Course Control and scan the QR code on its window with any phone or tablet on your WiFi. There is nothing to install on the phone and no address to type.
Play from the tee
Change clubs, check the heat map, or take a mulligan from your phone. The full list of controls is below.
A first look from Bogeys Backyard Golf.
Every control you reach for, one tap away.
Nobody memorizes 40+ keyboard shortcuts mid-round. Course Control turns the ones you use into labeled buttons, color-coded by what they do.
Club & tee
Step up and down through the bag and nudge the ball left or right in the tee box. Those are the two things you do before every swing, and they are on your phone.
Aim point
Set your aim and read the break without leaving the tee. Drag the aim across the green and the break line shows how hard the putt turns.
Heat map
Pull up the green's heat map to read the slope. Red is steep and blue is flat, so you see the break before you putt.
Shot cam & flyover
Watch the ball fly on the shot cam, or run the flyover to see the whole hole before you hit.
Trackpad mode
Your phone is the mouse and keyboard too. Swipe to move the cursor and tap to click, with scroll buttons down the side. The keyboard types player names straight into GSPro, so you can pick a ball or set up a scramble without leaving the mat.
Plus mulligan, scorecard, pin, green grid, range finder, hide UI, switch hand, and the full aim d-pad. A More tab holds the practice and camera controls, like go to ball, jump between holes, clear the shot trace, and go fullscreen.
Your shots stay on your WiFi.
Course Control talks to your own PC over your own network. Nothing goes through a cloud relay and nothing phones home.
Stays on your WiFi
Button presses go straight from your phone to your PC. There is no server of ours in the middle.
Safe by default
Safety mode only fires inputs when GSPro is the active window. Alt-tab away and the remote goes quiet on its own.
No account
There is no login and no password to remember. This site keeps basic anonymous analytics, and you can switch the phone app's stats off under Help, then Privacy.
Common questions
Is Course Control available now?
Yes. Course Control is available now from the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11. A 14-day free trial runs on first launch with no card, then it is $30 one-time with no subscription.
Can I control GSPro from my iPhone?
Yes. Course Control turns any iPhone into a GSPro remote. Install it on the Windows PC that runs GSPro, then scan the on-screen QR code with your iPhone. The controller opens in Safari with no App Store download. Add it to your home screen for a full-screen, app-like feel.
Does it work on iPad and Android tablets?
Yes. Because the controller is a web page, it works the same on iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Amazon Fire, and any Android phone or tablet as it does on iPhone. The larger tablet screen fits more buttons. Prop it by the hitting mat and play.
What devices work?
Phone side: anything with a browser on the same WiFi. iPhone, Android, iPad, a laptop, a Chromebook, even a spare tablet on a stand by the screen. It needs a current browser: iOS 16.4 or later on iPhone and iPad, or a recent Chrome on Android. No phone app required, scan the QR. PC side: install from the Microsoft Store and it connects to GSPro.
Does it need internet?
Controls work over local WiFi only. Your phone sends button presses directly to your PC, no internet needed for that. The app does use the internet for the initial license check, for update checks, and (if left on) to send anonymous usage data from the phone controller so we can see which controls people use. This website also uses basic anonymous analytics. You can turn the phone analytics off in Help, then Privacy, and the privacy page covers all of it.
Does it work with multiple monitors?
Yes. Run GSPro fullscreen on one screen and keep a video, scorecard, or browser on the other. Safety mode checks whether GSPro is the active window, not which monitor it is on, so click GSPro to give it focus and your controls land there.
What if GSPro loses focus or controls stop working?
GSPro only reads shortcuts while it is the active window, so clicking away from it pauses your controls. That is normal Windows behavior, not a bug. Click back onto GSPro and they resume. Safety mode drops input while GSPro is not focused and the phone tells you, so a stray tap never reaches your desktop. There is a full walkthrough in the fix GSPro losing focus guide.
Is this a cheaper alternative to a GSPro control box?
Yes. A hardware control box runs a few hundred dollars and does one thing. Course Control is $30 one-time and turns a phone or tablet you already own into the controller, with no app to install. The compare page has the full side-by-side against boxes and subscription apps.
Are updates really free forever?
Yes. Updates arrive automatically through the Microsoft Store, like any other Windows app. Every update to the version you bought is free, forever. When major new features ship as a new release (Course Control 2.0), that will be a separate purchase. Existing customers get a discount, and recent buyers upgrade free. Your original version always keeps working.
What happens after the trial?
Course Control stops accepting new connections until you enter a license key. Your session history is preserved.
Can I use it on multiple PCs?
Your license activates on one machine at a time. If you get a new PC, you can transfer it yourself: open Course Control on the old PC and deactivate the license, then enter your key on the new one. No need to contact support.
