This leap in technology promises to close the gap between the exhilarating experience of playing outdoors and the convenience of indoor golfing.
A New Era in Indoor Golfing
Gone are the days of static models and simplistic representations of course conditions. The TrueSlope Platform brings an entirely new dimension to indoor practice, allowing golfers to train on tilting greens and uneven lies. This realism is not just for show; it’s designed to replicate the unique challenges faced on actual courses, helping players boost their skills well before they step onto the links.
Recognition at the PGA Show
Platform Golf was met with overwhelming enthusiasm at this year’s event, where it was honored with the title of Best New Product. This significant acknowledgment came amid a buzz of over 30,000 attendees, including more than 1,000 key buyers in the golf industry. This puts Platform Golf squarely in the spotlight as a pioneer in revolutionizing how golfers train and play.
A Game-Changer for Golf Instruction
Golfing legends, including putt coach Brad Faxon and PGA Tour coach Stephen Sweeney, have shown great enthusiasm for the technology. They believe that this new platform will genuinely transform simulator golf by delivering accurate feedback on different slopes encountered during play. It raises the standards for golf training, creating a more effective learning experience for all golfers.

Co-founder Thomas Hackett expressed excitement about how their vision has materialized and their commitment to creating a vibrant digital golf community. Their mission aims to connect golf enthusiasts and instructors, elevating training and competition across the board.
Forging Partnerships for the Future
As part of their growth strategy, Platform Golf is actively reaching out to influential golf simulator companies, like TruGolf, in hopes of retrofitting existing systems. Their goal is to widen accessibility to this cutting-edge technology and promote off-course golfing experiences, which are rising in popularity.
The Landscape of Golf Participation
The golfing landscape is changing, evidenced by the National Golf Foundation’s report that 47.2 million people played golf in 2024. Among these players, 19.1 million were engaged exclusively in off-course settings. This shift signals a new era of golf, making it more accessible to wider audiences, and Platform Golf’s initiatives aim to democratize the sport further.
Empowering Golfers Everywhere
The TrueSlope Platform promises to enhance user experiences without the necessity of heading outdoors, making it a welcome addition for golf lovers who want to practice in all weather conditions. To further enrich the golfing community, Platform Golf is also set to launch a virtual training academy featuring renowned golf instructors, helping players of all skill levels hone their abilities.
