I had a nice coffee on Saturday after my session. Decent facility.

Just to add to this. Two of used the simulator 40quid for 2 hours last week and it was really good. It was stinking day and a decent way to have a hit, a coffee and a chat.
Well worth a bash

Good idea but looks geared to the better players. Wouldn't want to be on that range with any beginners and the short game green would be outright dangerous if you had lesser players hitting towards you.

They can't hit it towards you and as a courtesy you wouldn't be hitting while someone is picking up balls on the short game area.

Shanks are always going to scare people to the right. And the short game area looks quite small and contained, I wouldn't fancy being the opposite side of the bunker.

Of course shanks worry but rarely if ever will a shank go 90 deg right so no one will get hurt.
The short game area aint the biggest but could safely have 3 people

Had my 1st trip here this morning and had an hour on the launch monitor. Was shown how to operate the machine and Laptop (change club, ball flight colour etc) by Scott, then bashed away trying different settings on my driver to compare. When I was finished, Scott came back and went through all the figures with me, explaining what was what and offered to email my results through to me. He also brought out the Mizuno 825 range with fitting options for my mate to have a try at the Driver and Hybrid too. I was quite happy with my figures, averaged 249 carry and just over 270 total, funniest part was when discussing the distances with Scott though, he showed me what some of the shops do with theses machines to ramp up the numbers, made a few adjustments to conditions etc and told my mate Davie to have another crack, 1st drive with total distance of 395 yds 
obviously was over exaggerated but can imagine it going on. I'll certainly be back, hopefully get carry distances for my irons next time.

Well done Big Stuff always knew when you hit it straight you could knock it out there keep it going tomorrow, is Hendo taking you on bare feet for a fiver? Ill have a fiver on you if he is taking bets.
Looks an excellent facility, pity it hasn't caught on and been rolled out down here, not sure I know of any in England.
Hmmm, new business venture?
Hmmm, new business venture?
some corp co or person with serious cash could do it as it has loads of potential, I can think of about 5 things that would make the glasgow one stunning and somewhere I'd be visiting at least once per week.

I think it looks like a fantastic facility. Got to help being able to practice in the warm, no rain, no wind, just concentrate on what your doing. Wish I live a bit closer. Sadly, if I travelled up there to use it, I would inevitably sample some of the nightlife and then be too hungover to use it the next day.

It will be a lot warmer than my range has been for the past few months!!

My biggest grip is its size, great facility but it can't hold a lot of people. I reckon in total at 1 time maybe no more than 12/15 is all it can comfortably take out in the main area.

Hi - just spotted your old post and would love to know what things you'd like to see at the Centre (I have an interest in it).
Many thanks

I'd like to see better quality balls in the short game area.
I think its a great asset to Scottish Golf. At busy times though I think you have to limit the amount of people you let in as it can get overcrowded in the short game area and obviously the long game area is limited in size to 6 or 7 people maximum.
