Step 1: Arriving at the Facility
When you arrive, you’ll enter a indoor golf bay designed for comfort and focus.
You don’t need to bring anything special. Just:
Wear normal attire
Bring your clubs (or use house clubs if available)
Arrive on time so you get your full session
Everything else is already set up for you.
Step 2: Getting Set Up in the Bay
Once inside the bay, you’ll see:
A hitting mat and golf ball
A large projection screen
The GSPro golf simulator interface
The system automatically tracks your shots. There’s no manual input required to record data—just swing and play.
Step 3: Starting with the Driving Range
First-time players should always start on the driving range mode. (PRACTICE MODUAL)
This allows you to:
Warm up gradually
Learn how the simulator reacts to your swing
See carry distance, ball flight, and direction
There’s no pressure. Take your time and get comfortable.
Step 4: Trying Course Play or Games
After warming up, you can:
Play a virtual golf course
Practice approach shots
Use fun target or accuracy games
You control the pace. Play solo or rotate shots with friends.
Step 5: Understanding the Feedback (Keep It Simple)
The simulator provides a lot of data, but beginners only need to focus on:
Carry distance
Shot direction
Consistency
Ignore the advanced metrics at first. Improvement comes from patterns, not perfection.
Common First-Time Mistakes to Avoid
Swinging too hard
Skipping warm-up time
Overanalyzing one bad shot
Changing clubs constantly
Comparing yourself to others
Treat your first visit as a learning experience.
Is a Golf Simulator Good for Beginners?
Absolutely.
Golf simulators are ideal for beginners because:
You see instant feedback
There’s no pressure from other golfers
You can practice at your own pace
Weather is never an issue
Many beginners feel more comfortable indoors than on a crowded range.
Practice More Comfortably With a Membership
If you enjoy your first visit and plan to return, a membership can save you money and make practice more consistent.
