How to control GSPro from your phone
GSPro runs on your PC, but reaching for the keyboard mid-round breaks your stance every shot. You can turn any phone or tablet into a GSPro remote in about a minute. No app to install on the phone, and every signal stays on your local WiFi.
Set it up in four steps
From download to your first tap is about a minute.
- STEP 1
Install Course Control on your PC
Download the free trial and run the installer on the same Windows PC that runs GSPro. The server auto-starts and shows a QR code. The trial lasts 14 days, no card needed.
- STEP 2
Put your phone on the same WiFi
Connect your phone or tablet to the same network as the PC. Any home WiFi works. There is no app to install on the phone.
- STEP 3
Scan the QR code
Open your phone camera and scan the code on the PC screen. It opens the controller in your phone browser and connects automatically.
- STEP 4
Tap to play
Change clubs, drop the heat map, aim, take a mulligan, and move the camera, all from labeled buttons. You never reach for the keyboard mid-shot.
Why a phone beats the keyboard
A launch monitor already reads your shot. The only thing left at the keyboard is the menu work: changing clubs, dropping the grid, taking a mulligan, moving the camera. Those keys are scattered across the board, so you leave your stance and hunt for them between shots.
On your phone they become labeled, color-coded buttons in your hand. You stay set up over the ball. For a printable reference of every key, see the GSPro keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet. Using a specific device? There are step-by-step guides for iPhone and iPad and for Android, Samsung, and Pixel.
Stays on your WiFi
Control signals travel directly from your phone to your PC. Nothing goes over the internet. No account, no login, no password to remember.
No phone app
The controller is a web page. Scan the QR code and play. Works on iPhone, Android, and tablets.
Safety mode built in
Input is ignored unless GSPro is the active window, so a stray tap never reaches your desktop.
Controlling GSPro from your phone: FAQ
How do I control GSPro from my phone?
Install Course Control on the Windows PC that runs GSPro, connect your phone to the same WiFi, then scan the on-screen QR code. Your phone browser opens a remote with buttons for the GSPro controls you use most. There is no app to install on the phone.
Do I need to install an app on my phone?
No. Course Control runs in your phone browser. You scan a QR code and the controller loads as a web page. Nothing to download from the App Store or Google Play, and it works the same on iPhone, Android, and tablets.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Because the controller is a web page, it works on any phone or tablet with a modern browser, including iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Amazon Fire, and Android tablets. Add it to your home screen for a full-screen, app-like feel. There are dedicated walkthroughs for iPhone and iPad and for Android.
Is my connection safe? Does it go over the internet?
Every control signal stays on your local WiFi between your phone and your PC. Nothing routes through the internet or a cloud server. There is no account to create. Course Control also has a safety mode that ignores input unless GSPro is the active window.
What can I control from my phone?
The controls you actually use in a round: change clubs, switch to the putter, switch hands, take a mulligan, move the tee, drop the green grid and heat map, show the pin and aim point, switch cameras, play the flyover, and aim. A More tab adds the practice controls like go to ball and replaying a hole. There is also a trackpad mode for full mouse and keyboard control of anything else.
Does it work with multiple monitors?
Yes. Run GSPro on one monitor and keep a browser, video, or scorecard on the other. The remote sends controls to GSPro as long as GSPro is the active window, which is how safety mode is meant to work. A second screen changes nothing, just click GSPro to give it focus before you swing.
How much does it cost?
Course Control is a $30 one-time purchase with free updates. A 14-day free trial runs on first launch with no card required, so you can play a full round before deciding. There is no subscription.
