Golfer's Day is celebrated on April 10, a date when the weather will theoretically be warm enough for golfers across the country to hit the greens again. That includes New Yorkers as well, who have access to a surprising number of golf resources in the five boroughs: There are several public golf courses in the Bronx, and Chelsea Piers offers a driving range as well as a teaching academy. For those who don’t take golf nearly so seriously, Pier 25 in Tribeca and Swingers Crazy Golf in NoMad offer miniature golf courses.
New York is also home to a large number of golf simulators that allow golfers to practice at all times of year and in all types of weather. These collect data on everything from stance to swing to ball flight, showing golfers where they need to improve. Some clubs even seek to elevate golf practice into a social event – Five Iron Golf offers a sports bar in addition to simulators and lessons from an in-house pro; most recently, Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake teamed up on T-Squared Social Club, a sports bar that offers four golf simulators, bowling lanes, a full food and cocktail menu, and what Golf Week describes as “the largest indoor TV screen in the city” along with over 35 TVs.
In this article:
Finally, golf simulators may be found in a large number of residential buildings, meaning the golfers who live here don’t even have to go outside to hone their sport. Some stick to golf, offering the experience of playing some of the world’s most famous courses, and others have expanded their offerings to include every sport one can imagine – soccer, hockey, football, baseball – and some we never even thought of (zombie dodgeball, anyone?)
Some buildings tout their golf simulators as athletic amenities, while others treat them as social offerings positioned near lounges, party rooms, and terraces to keep the party going. We look at condos and rentals alike that count golf simulators among their amenities.
