Golf Simulators
Practice your swing at one of our two golf simulator bays located in Building 4. Have a hit on the driving range or try your hand at striking targets at various distances.
Whether you want to practice your swing or are looking for an alternative to the greens when the weather’s not great, our golf simulators provide a great option for you.
The simulator provides all the stats you need, so you can keep track of your launch angle, backspin, sidespin, swing path and ball distance, making it easier to track improvements to your game.
