Indoor Golfing Takes a Swing in St. Pete!
For golf enthusiasts in Pinellas County, finding a good moment to hit the greens can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. With over 54 golf courses dotting the area, many of them private and closing up when the sun goes down, the weather can throw a wrench in even the best-laid plans for 18 holes. But hold onto your golf clubs because there’s a new player in town that promises to change all that!
Welcome to Golfology!
Set to throw open its doors with an exciting ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 8 from 2 to 3 p.m., followed by a grand opening on November 9, Golfology is an indoor golf simulator lounge that’s about to become the talk of the town. You can find this slice of golfing paradise at 2400 5th Ave S in St. Pete.
The festivities kick off with a soft opening for friends, family, and VIPs, featuring not just an impressive setup but also some tasty food and drinks courtesy of nearby Bayboro Brewing. Picture this: six state-of-the-art Trackman simulators, a dedicated putting and chipping green, and the vibe of your favorite hangout spot, all rolled into one fantastic venue!
A Veteran-Owned Dream
Meet Rob and Tamara King, the dynamic duo behind Golfology. Rob, an 8-year Army veteran, shares how golf has helped him bounce back after service. “Resilience is a big part of golf, a skill I brought from the military,” he says. The Kings are committed to giving back, planning to introduce military discounts and other perks for those who have served.
But that’s not all—Golfology will host leagues and potential coaching sessions with local PGA professionals, giving players of all skill levels the opportunity to up their game.
Why Simulators? Why Now?
Each of Golfology’s six simulator bays spans about 350 square feet and packs a technological punch with Trackman simulators. These high-tech gadgets use radars, lasers, and cameras to dish out precise feedback, allowing you to refine every element of your swing. Whether you want to play on iconic courses across the globe or simply enjoy a fun outing with friends, Golfology features an impressive selection of 299 courses worldwide, with new additions rolling out monthly.
No more worrying about losing a ball in the brush, cooking under the scorching Florida sun, or dealing with sneaky alligators lurking near the fairway. At this indoor golf lounge, you can relax and play to your heart’s content. Best of all, you can have food and drinks delivered straight to you from Bayboro Brewing—bye-bye, waiting for that drink cart!
