One golfer’s quest to play every Trackman course
More than 590 courses, countless virtual rounds and a better game along the way — Kansas City golfer Dave Voran shares the highlights of his quest to play every course in Trackman's Virtual Golf library. And he doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon.
Trackman Editorial TeamThree years ago, Dave Voran set himself a challenge: play every course in Trackman's Virtual Golf library.
More than 590 courses later, the Kansas City golfer had played every course available in Trackman's Virtual Golf library at the time — from St Andrews and Pebble Beach to Royal County Down and Oakmont, with links, parkland layouts, par-3 courses and fictional designs along the way.
In an interview with GolfTRK, the Trackman-powered indoor golf business where he plays, Dave shared what kept him going, which course stood out and how all those virtual rounds have helped his outdoor game.

What's even better is that Dave has kept a spreadsheet documenting every course he's played — on course and off — since 1994. Now that's dedication!
He says that the first Trackman course he ever played was Craig Ranch on July 12, 2023. And when asked what the best courses are to play on Trackman, choosing a favorite among the hundreds available in the Trackman library wasn't easy.
But one that did stand out was the spectacular and high-elevation Reserve at Moonlight Basin — Dave fondly recalls a 386-yard drive that nearly reached the green, helped by an elevation drop of more than 100 feet.

Virtual rounds = Real on-course improvement.
So does simulator golf improve your game? Dave seems to think so.
He believes that playing so many courses has helped his course management, short game, and cut down the number of frustrating uncontrolled shots he hits.
“Playing so many courses has made me a more strategic player, and I’m able to manage a course better. My club selection has changed dramatically from before simulators were available. Knowing what my average carry distance for each club has made a difference in how I play non-simulator courses,” he says.
“And believe it or not, putting with a 4-foot gimme has cut down on my 3-putts. It's improved my lag putts significantly. My up-and-down percentage has improved considerably.”
An ever-growing golf adventure
