It’s fun, it’s interactive and it’s happening at a centre near you. Test your skills on the best courses in the world and win big

The Trackman Indoor Challenge, in partnership with The Golf Mag, has enjoyed a wonderful summer. The facility was on full display at the 2026 Investec SA Open at Stellenbosch Golf Club where a steam of visitors tested their skills on Trackman's world-class technology. Trackman delivers precise data, real-time ball-flight analysis, and 3D swing visuals for unmatched realism and performance insights.

Over the past few months, golfers of all abilities, shapes and sizes have been competing in handicap-adjusted Stableford formats at participating Trackman indoor facilities across South Africa. They have faced off against golfers of similar levels nationwide, climbing the leaderboards, and vying for fantastic prizes, like coaching sessions, premium gear, bay time, and more. It's interactive, fun, and open to The Golf Mag subscribers (subscription is free!).

The Trackman Indoor Challenge series built to an epic climax with the live final and other on-site challenges at the Investec SA Open Championship!

SEAN PIENAAR'S REAL-TIME EXPERIENCE​​​​​​​

‘I play off a 10-handicap at De Zalze Golf Club. I’m blown away by the Trackman technology. I’d love to have this as something to use regularly. It’s particularly cool because it’s not weather-dependant. You can play any course in the world, and see in real-time what you’re doing. The feedback is in real time and from that perspective it’s quicker than what you can do on the range or the golf course itself.

‘I did the three-hole challenge, and hit a 7-iron for all three shots, with a distance of 157 metres. I fell short in all three of them, but that’s the club I normally use for that yardage. But I guess you can get a bit anxious with people watching and veer from what your normal swing is!

‘Trackman is certainly something that benefits all golfers. Scratch golfers, and even pros, are constantly trying to hone their game and it’s a brilliant experience.’

‘Trackman is redefining the indoor golf game with cutting-edge graphics and true-to-life detail. A new era is dawning with unparalleled realism,’ says Brett Hutton, of Trackman South Africa. ‘We’re delighted to be able to launch this virtual golf series with The Golf Mag. Trackman provides precise, real-time data and 3D visualisation of a golfer’s swing and ball flight, which is then analysed and feedback given to improve technique and perfomance. And, of course, it comes with the all-important club-fitting service.’
