You’re welcome to bring your own clubs, or use ours at no extra cost. We offer a full range of options—including left-handed, right-handed, women’s, men’s, and children’s clubs—so everyone is covered.

​

Can beginners use the simulators, or is it only for experienced golfers?

Our golf simulators are designed for everyone—whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or seasoned pro. No matter your skill level, you’ll enjoy a realistic and engaging experience.​

​

What is available to play in the simulators?

Our simulators feature a variety of interactive games, including golf, trap shooting, archery, bowling, football, fun carnival-style challenges and much more.

​

How long does a typical session last?

Guests can reserve their simulator in 1-hour blocks.

​

What are some tips for first-time golf simulator users?

If it’s your first time using a golf simulator, start by taking a few warm‑up swings to get comfortable with the space and screen. Choose a club you feel comfortable with and focus on smooth, controlled swings rather than full power right away. Don’t worry about perfection; simulators are designed to help you learn your distances, swing path, and tendencies. Lastly, explore the practice modes—they’re great for dialing in your swing before jumping into a full round.
