How Does Trackman Range Work?

Trackman Range is a driving range solution that combines Doppler radar technology, local infrastructure, and interactive software to create a fully connected player experience. Each hitting bay operates as part of a larger system, where radar units, servers, and user interfaces work together in real time.

Radar Tracking

Trackman uses radar units strategically placed across the range.

  • Uses radar technology to measure ball movement through frequency changes
  • Tracks the ball from impact to landing
  • Each radar typically covers multiple bays (up to ~10 bays per radar)

This setup ensures efficient coverage of the entire range while maintaining accurate and consistent shot tracking.

Data Processing

Once a shot is captured, data is processed instantly:

  • Sent to Trackman servers
  • Converted into shot metrics and trajectory visuals
  • Returned to the screen in real time

Players receive immediate feedback after every shot.

Player Interaction

Each bay is equipped with a touchscreen that allows players to interact with the Trackman Range system:

  • Start a session or log in (if applicable)
  • Select from practice modes or a variety of games
  • View real-time shot data immediately after each swing

The system automatically links each shot to the correct bay, ensuring accurate tracking without manual input.

Players receive instant feedback, including:

  • Carry distance and accuracy
  • Target hits and scores
  • Visual ball flight and shot patterns

The interface is designed to be intuitive and responsive, allowing both casual players and experienced golfers to use the system with ease.

Trackman Range also supports:

  • Multiplayer gameplay in the bay
  • Progress tracking during sessions
  • A seamless, self-guided experience without staff assistance

Network and Infrastructure

Trackman Range uses a distributed radar and network setup across the facility to ensure full and reliable coverage:

  • A radar is typically installed behind the bays, with additional units depending on the size of the facility
  • Additional radars are positioned on the field
  • Each radar covers multiple bays (up to ~10 bays per radar)

All components are connected through the local network:

  • Radars → switches → servers → Trackman services
  • Data is transmitted and processed in real time
  • Systems are monitored via tools such as Grafana
  • Stable network connectivity and continuous power are essential to ensure accurate tracking and uninterrupted operation.
