Foresight Sports has introduced Foresight Premier, an all-new PC simulation platform designed to bring course play, practice and detailed shot analysis together on the big screen.
Premier becomes the centerpiece of Foresight’s new software ecosystem, combining the indoor simulator experience with the Foresight app and a single Foresight+ membership. For golfers already using a Foresight or Bushnell Golf launch monitor, the idea is simple: practice at the range, analyze your game on your phone, then move into the simulator without leaving the same connected account.
It also represents a significant change from Foresight’s previous software lineup. Premier succeeds FSX Play for simulation and FSX Pro for performance analysis, combining those experiences into one modern PC application. Existing FSX licenses will continue to work.
What is Foresight Premier?
Premier is Foresight’s new PC-based golf simulation software, built for everything from full rounds of virtual golf to serious launch monitor practice.
The platform includes 4K course environments, shot and club analysis, customizable data displays, a Drill Library, round setup and scoring, dispersion views, swing video and club comparison tools depending on a golfer’s Foresight+ membership.
Rather than forcing users to choose between a dedicated simulation program and separate performance-analysis software, Premier puts both sides of the experience in one place. Foresight says the new software also brings advances in graphics, simulation performance and ball-flight physics.
Premier works with the entire current Foresight lineup
One of Premier’s biggest advantages is broad compatibility across Foresight Sports and Bushnell Golf hardware.
Premier currently supports:
Foresight GC3
Foresight GC3S
Foresight GCQuad
Foresight QuadMAX
Foresight GCHawk
Foresight Falcon
Bushnell Golf Launch Pro
Bushnell Golf LPi
That means Premier can serve both portable launch monitor users and golfers with permanent overhead simulator installations.
Premier and the Foresight app work together
Premier and the Foresight app are not designed to replace one another.
Premier is the simulator experience. It runs on a PC and is built around full course play, deeper shot analysis and large-screen practice.
The Foresight app travels with the golfer. It can be used for range sessions, reviewing previous practice, tracking performance and working through training programs from a phone or tablet.
Both are tied together through Foresight+, meaning membership features, account information and performance data can follow the golfer throughout the ecosystem.
For a golfer who uses a GC3 at the range and then connects that same launch monitor to a home simulator, for example, Foresight is building the software experience around one account rather than individual device licenses.
A new course library with up to 111 courses
Premier also introduces access to a large course library featuring real-world layouts and fantasy courses rendered in 4K.
There are two Course Pass options.
Course Pass includes 35 courses and costs $295 per year, while Course Pass Pro costs $595 per year and unlocks the complete Premier library of up to 111 courses. Both options require either a Foresight+ Silver or Gold membership.
The full library includes recognizable venues such as Pebble Beach Golf Links, Bethpage Black, Muirfield Village, Royal Troon, The Olympic Club Lake Course and more.
How Foresight+ changes the experience
How much of Premier a golfer can access depends on the Foresight+ membership attached to the account.
The Silver membership, currently $199 per year, adds unlimited session history, dispersion views, Tags and Zones, challenges and access to training programs including the Ladder Drill and Target Practice. Silver members are also eligible to add either Course Pass.
The Gold membership, currently $599 per year, builds on Silver with tools aimed more heavily at serious players, instructors and fitters. That includes swing video capture, multiple player profiles, club comparison, drills using real-course overlays and third-party integrations.
There is also a free level providing core data views and limited session history, although a Silver or Gold membership is required to access the Premier course library.
For golfers buying new hardware, every new Foresight device begins with a 30-day trial of Foresight+ and Course Pass, giving users an opportunity to explore the wider ecosystem before choosing a membership.
What PC do you need for Foresight Premier?
Premier is currently available for Windows PCs, and the visual upgrades mean golfers building a simulator should pay close attention to hardware requirements.
Foresight lists a Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC with 16 GB of RAM and a GPU such as an RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 4060 Ti or RX 6600 XT as the minimum configuration for 1080p at lower settings.
For 1080p at maximum settings or 4K at medium settings, Foresight recommends 32 GB of RAM, an RTX 4070, RTX 3080 12GB or RX 7800 XT-class graphics card and an SSD. Golfers targeting 4K at high settings will need more powerful hardware still.
Those requirements are worth checking before building or upgrading a dedicated simulator PC.
A more connected Foresight experience
The bigger story behind Premier may be how Foresight is connecting its hardware and software.
The launch monitor remains responsible for capturing the shot. Premier becomes the big-screen environment for analyzing that data, practicing and playing simulated golf. The Foresight app extends those tools to the range and mobile devices. Foresight+ ties everything together through the golfer’s account.
For golfers already invested in a GC3, GCQuad, QuadMAX, Falcon, Launch Pro or another current Foresight platform, Premier represents a new way to use the same launch monitor for much more than simply collecting numbers.
From a range session to an indoor practice session to 18 holes at Pebble Beach, Foresight is building Premier around one goal: making every shot part of the same ecosystem.
