Rapsodo · Simulator Software
Rapsodo Studios
Rapsodo Studios is golf simulator software for Windows PC that plays precision-scanned 4K courses through the Rapsodo Golf for PC app. Its standout feature is ultra-premium 4K course graphics built from licensed courses with authentic branding and real course data.
Studios is a membership tier inside the Rapsodo Golf for PC app, not a separate app. It includes everything in the Rapsodo Core membership, plus the full Studios 4K course library and On-Course Practice on a compatible PC.
At launch the library holds 25 precision-scanned courses, with more added on a rolling basis. Named courses include Bethpage Black, Tobacco Road, Quail Hollow, and Payne's Valley. Ball physics are tuned to match real ball flight, bounce, and roll.
Group play is built in, with sub accounts for up to four golfer profiles, junior tees, variable pin locations, tournament play, and leaderboards. It is aimed at Rapsodo MLM2PRO and MLM2XPRO owners who want a big screen, premium course experience at home rather than phone only play.

Courses

25 precision-scanned 4K courses at launch, with more added on a rolling basis. Rapsodo has published only a few course names so far, including Bethpage Black, Tobacco Road, Quail Hollow, and Payne's Valley, and has not published the full list of 25.
Are Studios courses the same as the 30,000 plus Rapsodo Courses?
No. The 30,000 plus simulated courses come with the Core membership. Studios adds a separate premium library of 25 precision-scanned 4K courses with licensed branding and real course data.
Will Rapsodo add more Studios courses?
Yes. Rapsodo says new Studios courses will be added on a rolling basis to expand the library.
Can I preview Rapsodo Studios before paying for it?

Controls & shortcuts

Download the Rapsodo Golf for PC installer from the Studios page, install it, open the app and log in, connect your launch monitor to the PC with a USB-C cable, then choose a Studios course.
Can I change pin positions in Rapsodo Studios?
Yes. Variable pin locations are part of the Studios experience, so the same course can play differently from round to round.

Does Rapsodo publish a keyboard shortcut list for the PC app?
No published keyboard shortcut list was found for the Rapsodo Golf for PC app. Use the on-screen controls in the PC app rather than assuming shortcuts from other simulator software.
Setup & connection

Do I need anything besides the subscription to connect my launch monitor?

Is there a free trial for Rapsodo Studios?
No standalone Studios trial is published. The trial tied to a new MLM2XPRO is a 21-day Core trial, which includes the limited Studios preview described in the courses section.

Yes. Leaderboards are part of the Studios experience, alongside tournament play.
Can I play a tournament in Studios?
Yes. Tournament play is listed as part of the Studios experience, with variable pins and leaderboards.
Troubleshooting
2 answersMy PC struggles with Studios in 4K. What should I check first?
Check your PC against Rapsodo's two tiers. 4K needs at least an RTX 5080 class GPU with 16 GB VRAM or an RX 9070 XT class GPU, plus 32 GB RAM. If your PC meets only the HD tier, with an RTX 3060 class GPU and 16 GB RAM, play in HD rather than 4K.
My Studios courses are not showing. What should I check?
First check that your membership is Studios, not Core alone, because Core alone does not unlock the 4K Studios library. Then check that you are logged into the Rapsodo Golf for PC app with the account that holds the Studios membership, and that your MLM2PRO or MLM2XPRO is connected by USB-C.
