Frequently Asked Questions

1.  What is the purpose of Fitness Golf?
The goal of Fitness Golf is to provide a full aerobic workout that is extremely enjoyable at the same time.  We all know that golf is not very much exercise, and running on a treadmill and biking on a stationary bike can be quite boring.  Fitness Golf  solves both of these problems!

2.   What if I don't feel like exercising?
Then you don't need to.    Choose from any of the beautiful 162 golf courses and you can   play a "Golf Only" round of golf  that is just like using  any other golf simulator software.

3.   What if I don't feel like playing golf?
Then  you also don't need to.     By choosing   "Fitness Only " mode,   you can choose to walk, run, or bike  for any number of holes and on any of the golf courses   without hitting a single golf ball.

4.  Is Fitness Golf only for advanced golfers?
Absolutely not!  All levels of golfers from beginners to advanced players can enjoy Fitness Golf.   As a matter of fact, our hope is to introduce some fitness fanatics to the game of golf whom have never even played before.  There is also the "Fitness Only" mode which doesn't require a player to golf at all.

5.  How long does a round of Fitness Golf  take?
That depends on which mode a player chooses, the number of holes chosen, and the individual player's workout speed.   A full 18 hole "Golf Only" round of golf could take as little as 40 minutes and a treadmill "Fitness Golf" round could take 90 minutes or more.

6.  What are the space requirements?
We recommend at least a 10.5 foot high ceiling and a 10 foot wide by 20 foot deep floor space to accommodate both the hitting cage and the exercise equipment.   Also, limiting lighting at the open end of the hitting cage will provide the best screen image.

7.  Do I have to buy a special treadmill or exercise bike?
No, because a foot pod attached to a player's shoe records the distance/speed traveled, any manual or electric treadmill can be used that you already own.  For biking, most any stationary bike, spinning bike, or bike used with a bike trainer will work with Fitness Golf.    

8.  How good of a computer do I need to run the Fitness Golf software?
Fitness Golf only works on  a Windows PC computer and the minimum computer requirements are:
OS: Windows 7/8/10/11
Processor: Intel Core i5/i7 or similar
Graphics Card:  NVIDIA GTX 670 or similar (minimum);  NVIDIA GTX 970 or similar (preferred)
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Hard Drive:  40 GB available space
