Dartmouth
New indoor golf spot opens on the South Coast
A new indoor golf franchise has opened its doors in Dartmouth, bringing high-tech simulators and a fast, social way to play. The venue sits at 127 Faunce Corner Road and is the first U.S. franchise of a South Korean golf simulator company that has built thousands of sites overseas. Locals will find a mix of serious swing analysis and family-friendly games, plus food and drink in a roomy, TV-lined space.
What makes the sims different?
This location uses advanced simulator gear designed to track ball and club movement with very high precision. The system captures the ball’s motion about 3,500 times per second using infrared sensors, providing detailed stats like launch angle, spin, and ball speed almost instantly. Another standout is a moving floor that tilts to match the elevation of the real course on the screen, adding a tactile sense of uphill and downhill lies that most home setups don’t offer.
Play speed and course choices
Games run noticeably faster than a typical round on a physical course. Thanks to features like automatic teeing and streamlined shot prep, gameplay is estimated to be 30 to 40 percent faster. That means players can often finish a full 18 holes in under two hours, turning a lunch break or a family outing into a convenient golf session.
Players can choose from more than 400 championship courses from around the world, including well-known layouts in the U.S., the U.K., Korea, and Japan. The variety gives golfers plenty of places to test drives and practice without leaving the South Coast.
How the place feels and who it’s for
The venue blends a sports bar vibe with performance-focused tools. There are 14 TVs for watching events and keeping groups entertained between sessions. Food and drink are part of the offering, with a menu that highlights shareable items like wings, flatbread pizzas, and playful desserts such as fried Oreos. The setup is intended for everyone from casual players to dedicated golfers and corporate groups who want a modern, social alternative to the golf course.
Co-ownership and local focus
The Dartmouth franchise is locally owned by a SouthCoast couple who want this to be a community spot. The stated aim is to keep things affordable and welcoming, create a place where friends and families can gather, and deliver a modern take on entertainment that still respects the game’s fundamentals.
Practice tools and lessons
Beyond casual play, the site offers state-of-the-art analysis tools for improving technique. Expect detailed swing metrics, ball speed data, and instant feedback that can help pinpoint adjustments. Loaner club sets are available for visitors who don’t bring their own, including options for women and left-handed players.
Kid-friendly features and social play
There are game modes geared specifically toward younger players—things like tic-tac-toe golf and other short-format challenges—making it a family-friendly destination. The faster pace also makes it a good option for mixed-skill groups where time and variety matter more than walking 18 holes.
How this fits into a larger picture
The franchise is part of a broader international rollout from a company that already operates at scale in South Korea, where the model has seen massive adoption. The simulation technology has been recognized in major tech coverage as among the most advanced available, though this venue positions itself strictly as a place to play, practice, eat, and socialize rather than as a training academy.
Who might like it
This place is likely to appeal to local golfers who want quick access to full rounds without dealing with weather or long travel, social groups seeking a night out, families looking for an activity that includes kids, and corporate teams that want a unique event space. Intermediate players will appreciate the speed and feedback; casual players will like the convenience and kid-friendly options.
