Unlike traditional driving ranges, you’ll get instant feedback on every shot, helping you understand exactly how far and how accurately you’re hitting the ball.
You can hit as many balls as you like, experiment with different clubs, and track your consistency without worrying about collecting balls or battling the weather.
It’s convenient, comfortable, and great for quick practice sessions before or after work.

Improve Performance with Golf Club and Ball Tracking Technology
At the heart of Big Swing Golf’s performance experience is the advanced Full Swing simulator technology, trusted by professional golfers worldwide.
Every swing is measured using a series of high speed cameras that capture key metrics like launch angle, club path and direction, spin rate, club and ball speed and ball trajectory.
This powerful data lets golfers pinpoint strengths and areas for improvement, turning casual practice into meaningful performance training.
Our local Big Swing Golf staff shared with us several stories of their customers coming in to use their virtual golf simulators to improve their outdoor golf game. They explained that getting the live metrics and feedback helps people adjust the key technical elements holding them back from improving their game, like stance and swing.
The Big Swing Golf venues are also an excellent place to test a new club, practice putting, dialing in your distances.

Sport Entertainment for Families and Kids
What makes this offering compelling for families is its combination of inclusivity, variety and ease. Parents can relax while kids burn energy, siblings of different ages can pick games that suit them, and the session is built to be hassle-free. Since everything is indoors, safe, and under one roof, you avoid many of the frustrations of traditional recreational outings (weather, long waits, gear transfer).
Plus, the mix of virtual sports means that even if one child is more into soccer, another may favour dodgeball or basketball — it’s built to adapt to a group. And for parents who may not golf, the environment still feels like a night out rather than a practice session. The presence of food, drinks and a social lounge atmosphere turns this into a casual gathering with other families.
Big Swing Golf has Family Packages available at affordable prices and offers packages for parties and events which may interest junior sport teams, school classes, fundraisers and more.

Coaching is available for individuals or small groups, making it a great way to refine your skills in a relaxed, indoor setting. Check in with your local Big Swing Golf venue to learn more about their professional golf instructors.
