Golf simulator costs / charges

[williamalex1]

We've just started to install one, don't know the details but seemingly its top of the range stuff.
Anyone's club have one and are they popular
What's the going rate, for say a 4 ball playing a top course, or an individual practice session or lesson ???

 

[Coffey]

A lot of the ones local to me charge a set fee per the hour, some charge per person per hour.

For a trackman session, playing or practice it is generally £20 per hour for up to 6 people. Holywood golf club charge slightly different:

• 1 person – £12 per hour
• 2 people – £22 per hour
• 3 people – £30 per hour
• 4 people – £40 per hour

Personally, if i am alone, £20 per hour is too expensive but for 2 people £10 each is very reasonable. I like the scale that Holywood uses as it is the best of both models

For a lesson, my pro charges £20 per 30 mins without trackman, £25 per 30 mins with trackman, essentially an extra £5 to use the system.

£20 per hour 1 ball or 4 ball min 2 hours

 

[Lord Tyrion]

The nearest one to me is £10 per hour for one person, £8 per hour per person for 2-4 people.

That seems pretty fair to me. I've used it a few times with my son when the weather has been rubbish and he has been around. Good fun.

Where are you guys putting it? @williamalex1
I think ek have one could be worth finding out the cost they charge as it would be comparable

 

[FAB90]

Mearns castle have a trackman you can hire think it's £20 per hour

 

[Deleted member 18121]

my place is £10 per hour, doesn't matter how many people play.

 

[Fabia999]

not my club but another local club has one. £5 pp p/h. Doesn't registered every shot which is quite annoying but it was like 1/15ish so its not too bad.

 

[SteveJay]

£15 per hour at our place, irrespective of how many players. Really popular, often booked all day whilst the pro shop is open.

 

[casuk]

Fairways in Coatbridge is £25 for 2 hours I'm sure, full indoor driving range and practice areas for putting pitching and a big bunker is £10 ph or £17 for the full day

 

[jamiet7682]

Only one i have used is The Golf Lounge in Glasgow but its more of a boozer than a serious practice facility.

Think it was £40 an hour.

They're altering part of the upstairs locker room .

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Nearest range has an indoor bay with GC Quad for £20 an hour. I've used it a few times with my own balls to work on numbers and some gap testing

You need to get the Pro to maximise use. My old Pro used to have a monthly nearest pin and longest drive at £1 for three balls no practice. He took a cut then rest went to winner. Changed hole and course conditions each month. Then in winter have a nine hole stableford winter league. Makes money for club, pro and gives members something too.

We don't have a pro, it's just for members and signed in guests.

The one I went to, in west London ish, was £30 an hour. Reading this it seems I got ripped off! That was with Trackman, if it makes a difference.

We run all comps as members and all entry fees go to prizes, no need for anyone to take a “cut”

I was thinking along those lines , maybe a nearest the pin comp, at some world famous par 3 hole over water , maybe 5 goes for £5
