GOLF+ has just announced the inclusion of Pebble Beach Golf Links and Pinehurst No. 2, along with new equipment from Callaway Golf and TaylorMade, and game improvement capabilities like putting analysis and mini-training games.

Using the Meta Quest 2 VR headset, GOLF+ users can now experience the subtleties of Donald Ross’s turtleback greens at Pinehurst, and the wind-whipped tee shot at Pebble Beach’s 7th hole, all from the comfort of home. Pinehurst No. 2 will be available on the GOLF+ platform to play on Nov. 18, while Pebble Beach will be available Dec. 9.

David Stivers, CEO of Pebble Beach Company, said:

“GOLF+ provides an opportunity to introduce Pebble Beach to completely new audiences. We are excited to bring one of the most iconic experiences in golf to life via the GOLF+ platform. Golfers will have the opportunity to walk virtually in the footsteps of golf’s greatest champions at one of golf’s most historic courses, Pebble Beach Golf Links.”

Available in December, a groundbreaking new feature allows users to analyze and understand every swing they take in GOLF+. The platform is able to collect and report more than 20 specific swing attributes—the same metrics used by tour pros to fine-tune their swings—to help users understand what they are doing well and where they can improve. GOLF+ is the first VR platform to equip golfers with swing visualization tools and insights that can help golfers of any skill level better understand the fundamentals of their swing.

Ryan Engle, Co-Founder, and CEO of GOLF+, said:

“Our vision for GOLF+ has always been that it will allow golfers of all skill levels to deepen their relationship with the game. The platform is an on-ramp for those who have never picked up a club, a way to enjoy the sport again for elderly or disabled individuals, and now through the game improvement elements we’ve designed, a place where golfers can obtain useful guidance on how to improve their swing and have more fun on the course.”

Additional updates include new team modes that will allow players to compete with friends anytime, any place in Stableford, Skins, or Match Play formats. Golf junkies will be able to select from hundreds of unique items to build out their ideal bag setup, including the most popular new equipment from leading manufacturers, such as Callaway Golf and TaylorMade.

Designed to be complementary to traditional golf, the GOLF+ VR experience removes typical barriers such as time restraints, greens fees, and weather to allow users to play anywhere, anytime. For those who have never picked up a club in the real world, it offers a stress-free way to learn, play and practice at their own pace. Avid golfers can enjoy realistic physics and life-like recreations of some of the most iconic courses in the world. In less than a year since launch, the platform’s hundreds of thousands of golfers have played over six million rounds on the platform.
