An indoor golf simulator is a system that allows you to play golf virtually. You hit a real golf ball into an HD projector screen that shows a virtual golf course or a virtual driving range. A machine called a launch monitor gives you instant feedback using radars and cameras. By measuring your swing mechanics and ball flight, you can see where and how far your ball would go on the screen as if you were playing on an actual golf course.
Virtual golf facilities provide multiples advantages: You can play golf in any weather condition, any time of the year. Locations are very convenient, often located in urban areas. There is no strict dress code (polo and golf shoes are not required). You get instant feedback on your swing and your shots. You can get fitted for clubs based on exact data. The game experience is more laid back, social, and inclusive. Several venues offer food, drinks, and event catering. They are great places to take data-driven golf lessons. Indoor golf is less time-consuming. For beginners, they provide a more relaxed environment. Play virtually on the best golf courses in the world.
The price depends on your location and the venue, but generally you can rent a simulator bay for about $50 an hour, and you can share it with up to 3 or 4 friends.
Playing 18 holes on a simulator usually takes 1 hour for a single player. It can take longer depending on the skill level, the number of players, and if you're also enjoying food and drinks while playing.
Most golf simulator venues rent golf clubs for players who can't bring their own bag or want to have fun, but the number of available clubs could be limited depending on the activity. However, coming with your own clubs for a more personalized and comfortable experience is better. Please ensure your club heads are clean before (dirt, grass). If you want to make sure the desired venue has golf clubs for hire, give them a call beforehand or check their website FAQ.
Yes. Beginners are very welcome to play on golf simulators. If you just started playing golf, or if it's your first time, bring a golfer friend or advise the venue so they can spend extra time with you. You can also book a lesson with a Pro if the desired facility offers golf lessons to go through the basics of the swing, the rules, and the etiquette.
Yes. Kids of all ages are welcome in most golf simulators and during most opening hours. Please check the venue's website or call them beforehand if you want to make sure.
Unlike outdoor golf courses, golf simulators don't impose a dress code. It's a casual and social environment. You don't need to wear a polo, or golf shoes. However, it is recommended to wear breathable and functional clothes to swing more comfortably.
Even though wearing golf shoes on a simulator is not mandatory, having more grip during your full swings is strongly recommended. Please wear clean shoes (no grass or dirt), and avoid metallic spikes (soft soles are better).
Indoor golf simulators are very popular, especially during weekends, in the winter, and on days with bad weather. They also can't guarantee an opening for walk-ins. It's better to book in advance (online or by phone) to ensure you can play when you arrive.
No problem. Most golf simulators are equipped both for right-handed and left-handed players.
Golf simulators generally use specific golf balls and tees so it will not be necessary.
