Indoor Golf is Taking Over in Palm Beach County!
Golf fans, listen up! If you’ve ever wanted to combine your love of the game with a casual hangout vibe, you’re in luck. Indoor golf venues are popping up all over Palm Beach County, and they’re set to bring a whole new twist to how we play and enjoy golf. With a mix of the latest in golf tech, great food, and fun activities, there’s something for everyone, whether you swing clubs or just want to lounge around.
New Venues on the Horizon
Three exciting indoor golf spots are gearing up to welcome enthusiastic golfers and curious newbies alike. First up, there’s X-Golf, which is about to open its doors in West Palm Beach. It’s the first of its kind in Florida and is brought to life by twin brothers, Steven and David Kittrell. They’re all about making golf less intimidating and way more enjoyable. “We want people to enjoy golf as entertainment that does not have to take four hours,” says Steven. And trust us, they’re doing just that!
Located in the former Peter Glenn Ski & Sports, X-Golf is packed with innovations like simulated screens to measure hitting distance and floor plates that determine club swing speed. Golfers can tee off in virtual rounds at iconic courses like Pebble Beach and St. Andrews. Plus, it’s not just about the swing. Picture this: food, drinks, live music, and TVs playing all your favorite sports—sounds pretty ideal, right?
Delray Beach Indoor Golf Center
Meanwhile, for those who take their golf a bit more seriously, the upcoming Delray Beach Indoor Golf Center should be on your radar. Set to open on July 27, it promises amazing technology that goes beyond the average experience, including laser projections that help golfers refine their swings. Plus, you can simulate play at over 1,000 golf courses from around the globe! How cool is that?
Matt Ball, CEO of Tannin’ n Golf Studio, which operates the Delray center, emphasizes that picking the right golf ball can make a world of difference for individual players. “Different balls perform better at different swing speeds,” Ball notes. This is definitely a game-changer for anyone looking to get their golf game down pat!
The SoFi Center: A Whole New Level
Then we have the impressive SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens that is stirring excitement. Golf lovers will not want to miss out on this arena, where you can root for none other than Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in a thrilling indoor match-play league. Expect this landmark to open in January 2025 with some major bells and whistles. Think of a space that not only respects the game but enhances the excitement of live competitions!
Fun for Everyone!
The Kittrell brothers aim to attract not just die-hard golfers but also those who might just want a fun night out. Their X-Golf venue is about casual fun and serious practice combined. “We want to be a casual hangout for non-golfers. And a place for serious golfers to fine-tune their game,” Steven adds. With amenities ranging from simulated driving ranges to private rooms with golf simulators, even non-golfers might just find something to rave about!
So whether you’re a seasoned player looking to hone your skills or a newbie wanting to learn in a relaxed environment, indoor golf venues in Palm Beach County are making the game more accessible and less intimidating than ever. Get ready to swing, sip, and socialize—because it’s going to be a hole-in-one experience!
