After completing my second visit to Big Sticks Golf in Burlington, MA, I decided to write a review…read morefor Yelp! My first visit was very positive and it prompted me to come back. I booked the golf simulator which allows for independent play as a solo or with a group of up to four where you can play practically any course isn't he world, practice at the range, or just analyze your swing. Because this is a golf simulator, you hit specially designed golf balls into a screen where various monitors and sensors pick up the trajectory, ball spin, velocity and forecast distance and accuracy. The results are very realistic and the distances from my own club selection are surprisingly accurate. While the tee to green is highly comparable to real life, the short game does take some adjustments. The staff at Big Sticks Golf was friendly and courteous in welcoming me, offering an empty bay to take some warmup swings and then logging me into the simulator. The rest was up to me. Again, the experience was lifelike enough to work on my swing after many winter months off. Where I was advised by their on-line booking site as well as talking to a member of the staff that an individual can play 18 holes of golf in under an hour at $55/hour. I played pebble beach and enjoyed it very much, despite losing too many strokes around the greens with finicky technology that requires some getting used to. For my second visit I booked 2 hours and played TPC Sawgrass twice since the PGA tour was there this week. Again the staff was courteous and assisted me in getting set up. While my tee to green game was still good, I experienced notice improvement in the short game vs. my previous visit. Using the "aim" on the monitor vs. trying to compensate with your actual stroke is key. I was very pleased with the experience and not only played the course twice shooting in the low 80s each round, but I also had 25 mins remaining to hit the range and work on various clubs and my swing. It was well worth the money and I am really looking forward to the warmer weather getting her to keep the momentum going on my regular outdoor game too. When it may be more convenient to play a quick round indoors, I will keep this establishment in mind all year round. Check out Big Sticks Golf and don't let the snow, cold, early season conditions or summer rains limit your golf game.

It's a comfortable learning environment and whether you're going through one of the programs or taking individual lessons you'll end up learning a lot.

This is a cute spot with lots of thought put into the course…read more I do wish there was a little more standing room between holes. When we went it was very busy and golf groups got cramped up in the small space between holes waiting for the group ahead to finish. Great staff, clean bathrooms, easy to get to.

I tried golf as a teenager, and couldn't get the hand-eye coordination down. Don't kid yourselves, I still can't. I was designed to sit in front of an Excel spreadsheet, not stand in front of a golf tee. Stone Meadow Golf has completely turned everything on its head. Don't get me wrong, my hand eye coordination is still as real as the Loch Ness Monster, however the lack thereof is no longer as scary. Stone Meadow has a driving range and a 9-hole course. Both are priced very reasonably, and (at least for the 9-hole), equipment like a wedge, putter, and two balls. The course was very approachable and non-intimidating for a newbie like myself. The staff were also helpful and friendly. So, while I don't see myself becoming a person who holds for fun on his own, including owning one's own clubs, when my friends have an open invite for Stone Meadow, I will absolutely join them if I'm in town).

I had a scheduled iron fitting ($50) and Tim greeted me as soon as I walked into the store for the appointment. I spent the next 60 minutes chatting with Tim, while trying different clubs and hitting balls into the Trackman screen. I'm a pretty poor golfer - plenty of hooks, slices, and misses - but to the extent I did hit clean shots, Trackman was able to show me which set/brand I did better with. Tim never made me feel embarrassed or critiqued my swing, but instead put me at ease and made me more knowledgeable about the evaluation process. There were no high pressure sales tactics or upselling - in fact I ended up not buying anything but instead had my existing clubs regripped. When it is time to buy new clubs, Tim left me with the Trackman results and recommendations about getting the irons extended, grip size, etc. I will certainly be back for future purchases and to take some lessons with Eyna, who was also very nice. Finally, my old clubs were regripped in just a few hours - way shorter than the 24/48 hour turnaround time they initially mentioned. Thank you very much to Tim and the Golf Galaxy team in Reading.
