Tiger Woods and the TGL just made indoor golf cool, here are Toronto’s top spots, Canada Reviews

Tiger Woods just launched his new indoor golf league earlier this week and, if anything, the idea of playing indoor golf seems to be gaining traction (its ESPN debut drew nearly a million viewers). Players for the Tech Golf League (TGL) teed off Tuesday night at the SoFi Center, a first-of-its-kind venue built specifically for the league at the Palm Beach State College campus in Florida.

As it’s played indoors, real golf elements are combined with virtual reality — the environment is enhanced with tech to make it feel like players are outdoors on a famous course. There’s a physical area for short gameplay (like putting and chipping) as well as a virtual setup where players hit long shots into a giant 64-by-53-foot screen that simulates real golf courses (so real golf skills are required)!

As this might be the next best thing in the sporting world, here are some indoor golf range facilities where you can practice your swing in and near Toronto (no matter the weather outside).

The Sand Trap

Offers a high-end indoor urban golf simulator experience with nearly 100 world-renowned virtual courses and four PGA-acclaimed full-swing golf simulators (the same types used by Tiger Woods). Visual and sensor technologies are used to track swing performances, like the hitting area, club head speed, and ball flight. Winter rates: Off-Peak Hours: Mon-Thurs, 10 am to 5 pm, $50/hour for group (2-5 People), $33/hour for solo players. Peak Hours: Mon-Thurs, 10 am to 5 pm; Fri-Sun; and holidays, $60/hour for group (2-5 People), $40/hour for solo players. 1306 King St W, Toronto.

Albatross Indoor Golf Centre

Similar to the SoFi Center (albeit on a smaller scale), the venue offers the most advanced simulators on the market, offering realistic golf simulation across a ton of virtual courses. Players can also join the Centre’s men’s and ladies’ golf leagues, where they can play against other teams and participate in the year-end tournament. Each bay is reserved by the hour, and each golfer can complete about 18 holes within an hour.
