    Golf simulator
    Michael A.

    So thankful they are finally open. What an amazing job with the space. What was the hanger of the Stanley is now an adult playground. They gave 12 Trackman bays that has more than 400 courses that you can load with your fingertips. They have only been open for few days but the staff couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. I brought my own clubs but they have 2 nice sets of clubs at each bay for their customers. Cheapest and the nicest indoor golf simulator in the area. Full bar with more than 18 beers on tap. The velvet chairs and stools are such a nice touch and luxurious. This is going to be packed once the news gets out about it. Watch out Top Golf. Rain or shine, this is a better option and your local stop whether golf pro or family wanted to get out.

    Fun atmosphere and great place to play pool, games outdoors or simulator--golf for a unique date or family adventure. The drinks were delicious! I saw a woman walk by with a drink that she told me was called the IN A PICKLE: House Infused Dill/Cucumber Vodka, Botanica Angelica Elderflower Liqueur, Lemon Juice, Club Soda--I just had to try it, and if you love pickles and dill you will love this drink. The bartender I had was friendly and my partner and I really enjoyed planning pool with my step-son.

    Not as advertised. Not suitable for beginners. Awfully expensive. A bit disorganized…read more I received a lesson/fitting package as a gift. The gift giver was assured that the experience would be suitable for a beginner. Nope! Much of the lesson involved golf swing jargon that just isn't going to be understood by a beginner. Hey, if you know the difference between an open and closed shoulder in your backswing, or the difference between a strong and weak grip (hint: now I know it's nothing to do with how hard you grab the club), then you aren't a beginner, and GolfTec might work for you. Anyway, I stood open mouthed as my coach spewed utter jibberish at me. I stopped him early, and let him know I didn't understand the lingo. Didn't really help. Despite their claims, they really don't have a curriculum for beginners. Beginners need a bunch of instruction in set up and swing fundamentals that really don't benefit from GolfTec's (admittedly cool) elaborate video and computer swing tracking technology. Hey, I get that an advanced golfer, who swings consistently, might love the video breakdown looking for swing faults. A beginner is going to have enough self evident swing faults that this technology is overkill. It's like using a sledgehammer to push in a tack. And GolfTec is expensive. Anyone getting lessons on a weekly basis is definitely going to be paying GolfTec the equivalent of a car payment. Hey, I'm not saying it's not worth it. It's just that for beginners, there are cheaper and more efficient ways to learn the fundamentals. My friends who have had success with GolfTec are both far from beginner level, and are pretty indifferent to cost. If that describes you, great! You might love GolfTec. Me, not so much. Not as advertised.

Their driving range and practice greens are also in great condition. But the clubhouse is where it's at. Incredible place to enjoy a sunset, meal and drink even if you're not playing.

It's walking only Tuesday-Thursday. The staff are not super nice but not rude. The pace of play was average, with 4somes walking 9 we finished in just under 2.5 hours. With this course, you come for the links but you'll stay for the views. This course has one of the best views in the city. You can see the city skyline and mountains that are the backdrop right off the clubhouse. If you stay for a drink or meal after your round you'll want to grab a table on the newly renovated patio. They have some cool historical exhibits in the foyer. Additionally, I always appreciate a course that supports first tees! Pristine tee boxes, well kept greens and fairways. Very interesting layout, the back 9 holes are jumbled into the front 9. Concrete cart paths with curbs. Holes 3-6 and 9 all next to the road. We played on the front 9 and majority of the tee boxes are next to the street and that's a bit obnoxious because of the noise, but that just not my thing. I rented clubs and they were decent. I'd say that they could use an upgrade to newer/ less worn equipment. And not having a towel or brush on the bag was whack. I couldn't clean my clubs off in between shots. Also, I'd never rented clubs that didn't come with tees or balls. That was new to me. Overall, the facility was really nice. They have a turf driving range, really nice chipping and putting green. They looked like they even had live entertainment on the patio.

    I absolutely loved this track. Best course in Denver for the money you spend. Very walkable and it…read morewas in great condition when I played it. Greens were medium in terms of speed but very smooth. Fairways were great and the rough was thick. This is my favorite flat course I have played. Tom Doak is an amazing golf course architect, and this is by far the cheapest course designed by him you'll find. Greens are wild. So many reveals when you get closer or go over a ridge. Number 3 is a great par 5 with a center line bunker that messes with your layup choices, and the punchbowl green is sweet. A couple of people I played with pulled their shots left and had some really tough chips coming in. Number 10 is a short par 4 that I would play differently next time. Very wide open on the left, more that you would think. Better angle into that green where trees guards the right side. I would not hit driver and go left, leaving a flip wedge in. Hole 11, a par 5, is my favorite. Didn't hit it well off the tee and ended up in that big cross bunker. Big mound short right of the green both kicks golf balls towards the middle of the green or propels balls over the right side of the green. Water is all up the left side is the hole. Great design. Absolute brutes from hole 14 to the finish. Fun track I'll try and play every time I'm in town. Very hard to get tee times, even during the week as a single. Driving range is huge and off grass. I think I saw three chipping greens and a big putting green. Plenty of areas to practice. Great course for a push cart.

    Honestly a hidden gem golf course. I've had friends say they've had poor customer experience here…read morebut I didn't encounter that when I came. Driving range was on grass but was mostly dirt by my 2pm tee time. Food was pricey and meh, and takeout service was incredibly slow. Nice starter and no pace of play issues. Course was in great conditions. I'd definitely return given how affordable it is to comparable tracks.

    First review before they've even claimed their business page? Wow! I can't believe no one has…read morechimed in yet to talk about how awesome this place is. It's SUCH a cool and sexy place. The vibes are immaculate. Decorated well, spacious - it's inside an old hangar, naturally - with plenty of room inside each of their MANY bays to hang out with friends and family and get some golf in. Their sim prices are a little more expensive than others, but you're getting an upgraded premium experience for it. Everything's new and in great shape, the bays are sizable and very comfortable, and the service is excellent. We were helped by two different servers and they were extremely attentive making sure we had everything we needed without being in the way or overbearing. Food and cocktails are a little spendy, but that's everything these days. The transfusion was delicious, better than any on-course transfusion. The buckets of high noon seltzers kept us lubed for swinging golf clubs. The flatbread pizzas and chips and queso were quite tasty and I wouldn't hesitate to get any of them again. Genuinely, this place is absolutely phenomenal and I cannot wait to go back. This is hands down the best golf simulator establishment I have ever been to and it's not even close. The Hangar Club is amazing.

I'm certain the virtual golf is nice because it seems popular at times. What needs to be addressed (first) is the menu - cold dips served that should be hot, canned jalapeños on Greek salads but no jalapeño on the nachos? But then PICKLED ONIONS on the nachos? Gross. The flatbreads are more crust than toppings (believe me we have tried it all!). The grilled cheese and tomato soup are great. Good cocktails. But they need somebody to come in and RESET that menu and the weird ingredients thrown on to things. The service is quick in my experiences but not so for my neighbors and it's like the ladies who work there ALWAYS seem like they HATE working there. No personality, no knowledge of the menu, always on cell phones. It is odd. Like zombies. And there seems like a lot of wasted space (not an issue for me). That said, our entire block will continue to walk over for grilled cheese and cocktails. Would love to see some menu upgrades and a veggie burger and just a touch more enthusiasm.

My kiddo just turned six and has been golfing for years now. I decided it was time to let him play a 'real adult course' after playing exclusively the First Tee par 3 courses around town. So first things first - the pro shop is out back of the building and a tiny bit tricky to locate the first time around. There's a bag drop out front, but doesn't need to be there. Just take your clubs straight back. The staff member who checked us in was very friendly. There is a discount for Junior golfers, but no such deal for veterans. All in all it was $25 to play (total for two of us) and we were able to tee off on time. The course is is great condition, and it is clear that they have a staff that cares about presentation and course management. The winding lake in the middle only brings water into play on a couple of the holes. The rest are pretty straight shots, and nothing is out of reach for most golfers. I think the longest was just short of 200 yards. We had a great day, and even though we had to wait at a number of tee boxes, the whole round only took aboutj 90 minutes. There is a very fun looking restaurant right as you step off the ninth green that we definitely want to try at some point, but it was a work day, so raincheck on that one. All in all, great experience.
