I attended a company event at the Linksman a couple of years back and had one of the most memorable times. Fast forward to 2026, and I decided it was time to choose this venue again to celebrate my friend getting married. Let's just say - we had such a good time, I forgot to take a picture (with a bit of regret) because we were so caught up in the moment. Just having a blast once again. Whether, you choose to do a corporate outing, a casual hangout or celebrate something meaningful. Please choose the Linksman host you. I am not kidding. It's one of the few places where you will forget that a phone exists. Pure fun. read more

My work place had a christmas event here. It isn't the biggest place but it is very well organized and has just the right amount of activities for a phenomenal christmas party. I really liked the golf simulator! It worked well and they had an assortment of different games ranging from normal golf to soccer and even skee ball! They had a nice hunting arcade game that can be played with a friend and a billiards table. I hope to have another work event here in the future. read more

This was the perfect venue for a passel of 16-year-old boys. The owner, and both of the guys(Asne and Andrew) working made the entire event so fun. I would do this again in a heartbeat! read more

Can't recommend this venue enough! We had my brother's 40th birthday here and it was even better than I could've hoped for!

The owner was so helpful and easy to communicate with- he truly helped make the event even better! 10/10 recommend. read more

This was the perfect place for my husband's surprise 40th birthday! This venue looks like a man cave. It has a games simulator, arcade, pool table, beer pong table, and TV. He also has a fridge that he stocks with drinks, which was awesome! Steven, the owner, is the best at communicating and answers every question you may have. From the moment I booked, everything went smooth. I went with all the vendors he recommended such as taco truck and bartending services. The host, Courtland, was so helpful and friendly to all our guests as well! Everyone had a such a great time! I can't recommend this place enough.

We had my dad's 60th birthday at The Linksman, and it was such a great time! The place has a cool vibe -- kind of like a lounge but with awesome golf simulators and games. There was truly something for everyone! The golf simulation was fun to use and even the people who aren't big golfers were able to have fun too! Steven (the owner) was great as well, he was available to talk leading up to the event and made it run so smooth! I really appreciate him and all he did to make this party perfect! I would definitely recommend this place for any event read more

Hosted an event for Baddies Golf Club at the Linksman and I can't even begin to describe how cool this venue is. (I've attached pictures & videos because words aren't enough!) The vibe of this joint is unreal, it's literally a dream! We had over 50 people at the venue, both golfers and non-golfers and there was an activity for everyone. The Linksman has a pool table, beer long table, arcade, lounge area, and last but certainly not least... ONE OF THE MOST EPIC INDOOR SIMULATORS ON THE MARKET. Steve has a 21' wide curved golf simulator from aboutGOLF!!! IT IS MASSIVE, we had access to over 80 premium courses and was able to host a CTP & Long drive contest. Our guest LOVED IT! Oh yea! And if you book this venue it comes beers & seltzers. You don't even need to lift a finger, just book & show up and you'll have everything you need. I also really appreciated how eco friendly the venue was! With reusable towels, and virtually no plastic! Super cool. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be back! Thanks Steve! read more

This place is awesome!!! We held a birthday event here and everyone had so much fun. Steven the owner was so great and accommodating to us. He even gave us golfing tips which is almost worth it on its own. You really couldn't ask for a better experience and we're already planning for our next corporate events here. Way more affordable than top golf, less wait, cooler, and such a unique experience! If you're on the fence, just reach out to Steven and you won't regret it! read more

This space provides such a fun and unique experience! I hosted me and my friends birthday party here and it was the perfect space for our group! If you're looking for a space to buyout for the evening and hosting a private event, this is it! //CONTEXT// I was looking to host something for me and my friends birthday event! I wanted a unique experience that was private. I found this place through Yelp and my gut instinct was telling me this was the place! //BOOKING// Booking with the owner Steve was very easy. We communicated via text if I had any questions and he was very easygoing. He allowed for most vendors to come and setup - I wanted to bring in a bartender and a taco man and he allowed for those! He also has some catering companies he's worked with before but was more than happy to work with my vendors. I booked on the website! //SPACE// The space was really nice! We had about 40 people come and it was the perfect size! The space felt really nice and inviting and has a lot of amenities like beer pong, pool table and places for lounging! The golf simulator was amazing and features all these different courses. A couple of my friends are into golf so you can tell they really enjoyed the space. They provide clubs there, and have a small putting area. We booked up our music for the event through our phones! For the bartender he had a large cooler and lots of extra tables because our taco man didn't provide a side table for condiments! He has plates and forks, etc. and a convenient sink located where we set the bar up! There are beers and nonalcoholic drinks which was really nice! //PRICE// I'm sure each group and price might be different so I won't speak to that - but but for four hours we were given a set price. I do wish we had just one additional hour since it felt really abrupt leaving after just four hours (like a five hour package would be nice) and it costs more for the additional hour which we didn't add on. But that goes to show how much fun we were having! We had folks pitch in and help with some of the venue Costs. //SERVICE// Steve was a great host and owner! He was cleaning up and helping the space look clean! He was communicative throughout Overall I'd highly recommend this place! read more

Our family and friends just celebrated my brother's 30th birthday at The Linksman, and it was the best decision! Steve is amazing to communicate with. He is responsive and so sweet! He even helped take some videos and pictures for us, which I appreciate ten-fold. The space itself is huge. We had 30 adults and some little kiddos, but it can fit way more! If you need a space to throw your next event, don't think twice. This is it! read more

We celebrated my husband's 45th birthday. Steve was so accommodating. It was an arrive and play party. We played golf, shot pool, shot guns, and raced Mario cart. Everything was clean, organized and ready to use. Music and lights were great. 14 of us arrived, had a few drinks, had dinner...(the Mediterranean food was ok, kind of dry, simple, missing hummus, garlic,) We would definitely choose this again. Loved! Loved!!!! It!!!! read more

We absolutely love this place! We went there for a Christmas party that we were invited to. I liked it so much that I have now booked my son's 18th birthday party here. Steven is great to work with, he has amazing customer service. The place is clean, organized, and overall such a great fun day. even if you are not into golf, this place is still great. You can swap out the projector screen for other things. For example, half of the time we will more than likely have a switch hooked up and either Mario Kart or Super Smash Brothers up there for them to play. So even if you're looking to host a kids birthday party, it could actually work for that as well. Super excited for our next event. Also, Steven has great partners, he works with for catering so it makes it very easy to plan a party there. read more

Celebrated a birthday here for my partner who is a huge golf fan and it was an absolute HIT. The concept is unique in the area and is definitely way better than the other options I was looking for golf themed party. You can cater your own food or the owner, Steve, will help you out. He is also there for the whole duration to help with the machine. The space is absolutely beautiful, a lot of tv screens to watch sports on, and other activities to do as well. important for me, the bathroom is super clean!! The reservation comes with a fridge full of beer and seltzers, you may bring your own alcohol as well. overall, if you're looking for a venue to host an event, this is it! We definitely would use the space again. read more

Amazing venue for anyone looking to host a private event. I've been to many golf simulators within other venues but this one takes the cake. Highly recommended!! read more

We had a work event last year in February and the Linksman did a wonderful job of providing a very fun event. They provided me a wonderful bartender and were able to read the room very well. For example, they changed the game form virtual golf, which many enjoyed, to Mario Cart to let the younger employees have a ton of fun. I absolutely recommend the Linksman as they cater to people of all ages! read more

I found The Linksman on a Google search, their Yelp account came up, when I was looking for a venue for my birthday party. I wanted a space that could fit comfortably up to 50 people and could also provide some entertainment. I was finding with a lot of other spaces they were too big for the size of my group or just a big room at a restaurant. This venue is amazing! It looks nice in pictures but even better in person. A lot of thought and detail went into the planning of this space. The owner, Steven, is a top notch professional. He is quick to respond to messages. He worked with me to schedule a time to tour the venue in person. He even text me the day following my event to see how my event was and thank me for my business. They allow for outside catering to be brought in and with a licensed professional serve alcohol at your event. Love the flexibility! Was allowed to get in about an hour prior to the start of my event to decorate. Our day of event host was super nice and helpful. All my guests raved about how much they liked the space and what a good time they had. Not everyone was a golfer but they have other games they can put up on the screen to play. But even non golfers will enjoy using the simulator. Sound system is top notch!!! I opted to not hire a DJ and just have the venue play a curated Spotify playlist. It was great! Do not sit on this place and book today. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again to Steven and his team for a wonderful experience and to help make my birthday celebration a great success. read more

Throwing my husband's 50th birthday party at the Linksman was absolutely amazing. Everyone had a blast, from playing pool, golf, soccer, ping pong, and an arcade - they had everything all in one.

I have booked this venue multiple times now for different occasions. I cannot be happier with all of our experiences. Steven really did this place up right.

We will continue booking this place and I highly recommend this to anyone. Thank you again, Steven. read more

My wife threw me my 50th birthday here and it was awesome! We had about 50 guests and the venue was perfect. It was large enough to fit all our guests, but still very cozy. The pool table, games, and golf simulator was the perfect combination to keep our guests entertained and having a good time. We brought our own DJ with karaoke to hook up to the large screen TV. Steve was very accommodating and the perfect host. He made sure supplies were stocked and the trash taken out. Highly recommend this venue! read more

I recently went to a surprise birthday party at The Linksman, and it was a blast. The golf simulator is extremely accurate, with lots of variety. You can play longest drive, darts, mini golf, good old round, and more all using the provided clubs. If golf isn't your thing, there's also a pool table, an arcade game, a comfortable lounge area, or play Nintendo Switch on the massive golf simulator screen. I talked with the owner, Steve, and he let me know they also rent the space out for corporate and team-building events. Thanks for the great time! read more

The Linksman is EPIC! What a hidden gem. They had everything for a fun night with family and friends - huuuge, curved projector with golf, putt putt, soccer, football, etc you name it, the game was on the projector screen, they even had video games! There's also a big TV to watch games, pool table, seating area, pool table, and arcade games. Also, a very well thought out catering area for food. I'll definitely be back for our next event, and I highly recommend. read more

I had my 40th redneck themed birthday party at Linksman! We all had so much fun, and probably one of my best birthdays. Such a great location, and almost all of us weren't golfers but enjoyed using the golf simulator, as well as the beer pong table, buckhunter and pool table. The owner, Steve is amazing! Not only did he take the time to teach us all how to swing a club but he played awesome music for us as well (one less thing for me to stress about). He was also very accommodating, friendly and great at answering questions in a timely manner leading up to the party. I highly recommend this spot for any event. read more

We celebrated my 40th birthday at the Linksman and I'm glad we made the right choice as we were looking at multiple venues of similar venues. The Linksman is the true gentleman's lounge or every guy's "mancave" dream! It's equipped with the most high-tech 21 foot simulator I have ever seen, pool table, super comfortable couches & chairs, table tops, beer pong, everything you need to have a good time! Steven Reed was very responsive and made sure to provide us with all the details. You do have to use his own vendors for bartending & taco service but trust me when I say, he only partners with some of the very best. He connected us with The Thirsty Horse mobile bar (Vivian) who was absolutely amazing with spectacular cocktails and his own taco guy which my guests said was the best they ever had at a party! The Linksman is very clean and has the ambience for what you want for a private party. Plenty of parking out front, so your guests don't have to worry about that. To be honest, I wished we booked it for 6 hours versus 4 hours because with how much fun we were having, 4 hours went by too fast! I would highly recommend the Linksman for a private party, birthday, or a corporate event. Your guests will be nothing short of impressed by this venue. Thanks Steven and Linksman team! read more

My Fantasy Football league does something special for the draft every year and this year we decided to spend an afternoon at The Linksman for some golf, games, and good fun. The venue is awesome and the host was there for our every need. We had a great time and it was a great change of pace and savings versus going to Vegas again. Actually, this is a very cool place to gather a bunch of buddies to watch football on a Saturday or Sunday. No special event required. I'm going to tell all my friends and colleagues about it. read more

There aren't enough awesome things to say about this place and the owner, Steve!! He was very kind, super prompt to return emails, and so patient to answer all of my questions! I threw a party for my husband's 30th and it was the perfect spot to host our friends and family. We were a group of about 30-35 adults and there was plenty of space. Communication was always clear, parking was easy, and there was so much variety! We played golf, soccer, mario kart, etc. I got compliments and questions all night about the venue and just had to share what a great experience it all was. 10/10, would recommend!! read more

Epic Birthday Destination for a young adult paty! I was looking for a fun destination for my son's 18th birthday party. I found this venue on google and I'm so glad I did. The party happened to fall during the playoffs so the family wanted a venue where the game could be on, but I wanted the focus to be on my son and celebrating him. This was the perfect balance. The big screen simulator had fun games for the whole family. Mario cart, soccer, baseball, putting, and miniature golf. There's a pool table and lounge area, plenty of counter space for the food, great sound system. And the owner Steve was fabulous so nice, professional, and caring. The space was very clean and upscale. I HIGHLY recommend this venue we will DEFINITELY be back. THANKS STEVE! We really appreciated all the incredible hospitality. read more
