The frost delays are getting longer, the clocks have gone back, and before long the course is closed until spring. For a lot of groups that doesn’t end the season. It moves it indoors. And on a simulator, the course doesn’t have to be the one down the road. Duck Hook Golf now has more than 33,500 real courses in 143 countries, so whatever the sim loads this winter, the scorecard is most likely already in the app.
Until this fall the course list stopped at the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe. That covered the home course and the bucket-list trip to Scotland, but not much of what a simulator can put on the screen. Here’s what’s been added.
They join the courses that were already there: more than 20,100 in the US (99% of US courses, in all 50 states), 1,400+ in Canada, 140+ in Mexico and 5,900+ across Europe, including 2,500+ in the UK and Ireland.
If your group plays the sim every week from now until March, that’s fifteen or twenty rounds. Playing your home course on the screen every time gets old by Christmas. Some ideas for using the whole map instead:
Setting up a round in the bay is the same as at the course: search the course on the screen, pick your tees, pick the game, tap your group. Then:
Duck Hook Golf doesn’t connect to the simulator; your group keeps score in the app. So it works the same in front of a Trackman, GSPro, Foresight, Full Swing, Uneekor or anything else, at a venue or in your garage.
Made-up simulator courses aren’t in the list, and with 143 countries there are still real courses we don’t have. If the sim loads one that Duck Hook Golf can’t find, report it from the New Round screen and it goes on our list to add.
Indoor venues run leagues all winter. Duck Hook Pro sets up the whole season in one step, keeps the standings, and puts a live leaderboard on the TV in the bay. Golfers play every round in the free app, sim handicaps and all. More on the simulator page.

If it’s a real course, very likely. Search for it on the New Round screen the same way you would at the course. Made-up simulator courses aren’t in the list. If a real course is missing, report it from the New Round screen and it goes on our list to add.

No. Duck Hook Golf doesn’t post rounds to GHIN, so sim rounds never touch your Handicap Index. Each golfer can carry a separate sim handicap, which every simulator round uses automatically, and your sim rounds are tracked apart from your outdoor ones.
Yes. Every course and every game is free in the Duck Hook Golf app, with no ads. Venues running a winter sim league can use Duck Hook Pro for the season standings and a leaderboard on the TV in the bay.
