I've used a few different models of these over the years. Some very good and some, just down right awful.
The one near my home that I am signed up to play in a weekly 9 hole league starting tonight, is not bad at all.
I have noticed that my driver distance on this one is about 20-30 yds shorter than real life and the irons are maybe 6-8 yds short.
I can live with that. I just have to remember to allow for that while playing. I do hate the putting on this one though.
You are putting at a virtual hole on the screen with a grid that is supposed to show you the break on the green.
There was a sim here in town that told you where to put your ball on the floor in front of the screen and you actually putted to a hole in the floor.
The floor had contours built in so it had undulations and breaks. I liked that much better.
This sim charges $10 to sign up for the league and $15 per week for the 9 holes.
For open play, they charge $30 per hour with a 30 minute minimum and has 3 bays.
They serve some snacks and and have a liquor license to serve beer....so they've got that going for them.
