TruGolf Holdings (NASDAQ: TRUG) announced on October 1, 2026, the first installation of its indoor range platform, TruGolf Range, featuring the company’s new TruGolf AI Coach experience at Lucid Golf in New Albany, Indiana. The deployment marks a significant step in the company’s efforts to bring advanced artificial intelligence to indoor golf training and could influence how facilities worldwide approach player development and engagement.
TruGolf Range allows up to five players to practice simultaneously on a single cinematic screen, with each hitting bay providing slow-motion replay of club and ball interaction, ball flight data, and integrated AI analysis of swing tendencies. The Lucid Golf installation includes TruGolf AI Coach, which analyzes player shot data and tendencies to provide insights, instruction, and drills. The platform also features structured training workflows, skills challenges, and games, and is designed for deployments ranging from compact installations to multi-bay environments for clinics, competitions, and group events.
For golfers, this means access to personalized coaching and data-driven feedback in a social, indoor setting, potentially improving practice efficiency and enjoyment. For golf facilities, the installation offers a scalable solution that can attract groups, host events, and generate new revenue streams. The integration of AI Coach could also reduce reliance on in-person instruction for basic swing analysis, though it remains to be seen how it complements human coaching.
The broader golf technology industry has seen growing investment in simulation and analytics, and TruGolf’s move underscores the trend toward AI-enhanced training. As the first installation of its kind, the Lucid Golf deployment serves as a real-world test case for the company’s vision. TruGolf, founded in 1983, has a long history of indoor golf innovation, including award-winning video games like “Links” and the E6 CONNECT e-sports platform. The company’s mission is to make golf more available, approachable, and affordable through technology.
Investors and industry watchers will be monitoring adoption rates and customer feedback from this initial site, as success could spur additional installations and partnerships. The news comes amid ongoing interest in how AI can transform sports training and entertainment. For more details, see the full press release at https://ibn.fm/JLa4U.
