Went yesterday to try this new venue out and it was amazing. Brilliant atmosphere, friendly/helpful owner and the simulator bays are awesome. Definitely going back and would highly recommend.
Great venue with amazing facilities! We had such a fun time at ladies night and Michael was so warm and welcoming. He gave great advice to me as a total golf beginner. Will definitely be back ☺️
I had a great evening at Virtual Fairways. The space is well utilised and welcoming. Our group had everything explained to us clearly. I can really see how the technology used and advice given could really help you progress at golf. The interactive games were great fun too!
Really impressed with Virtual Fairways. I don’t know a huge amount about golf, but still had a brilliant time and found the whole experience really easy to get into. The TrackMan setup is seriously impressive and the whole place feels really high-end, modern and well thought out. It’s just as enjoyable for someone like me who’s fairly new to golf as it would be for someone who actually knows what they’re doing! Great atmosphere, really friendly setup and definitely something a bit different for Darlington. Will 100% be back.

Darlington's home of indoor golf.
Three bays on Lingfield Way, open Wednesday to Sunday. Come to work on your swing, take on your mates, or sit in with a coffee and play nine holes badly. Clubs are available to hire if you haven’t got any. New to golf sims? Read how accurate the numbers are, or use a bay as an indoor driving range. Groups come for birthday parties, stag and hen dos and corporate golf days, and kids and families are welcome too.
It's independently owned, so the person who books you in and explains the numbers on the screen is usually Michael, who owns it. No franchise script (here's how it started). Two minutes off the A66 with free parking at the door, an easy run from Durham, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Bishop Auckland and Northallerton. If you normally hit balls outdoors, here is how a bay compares with a driving range.

“Whack a few balls, have a drink and laugh the evening away.” Google review · Shaun B
Settle it with a game.
Closest to the Pin
One shot, one green, nearest the flag takes it. Quick, tense, and how most rounds here decide who's buying.
Longest Drive
Wind up and let rip. Biggest carry wins, and the bay puts the number on the screen so nobody can argue.
Virtual Tournaments
Enter GSPro competitions from your bay and play against golfers anywhere in the world, with your scores on the same leaderboard as everyone else's.
Wondering if it's for you?
Never played golf before?
Most of our first-timers have never played. The simulator adapts to complete beginners, the games are easy to pick up, and there's no dress code. It's a relaxed, pressure-free way to try the game.
How much does it cost?
£27 an hour per bay, including one player, plus £8 an hour for each extra player. Four of you sharing a bay works out around £12.75 each, and packages and memberships bring it down further.
Do I need my own clubs?
Not at all. Clubs are available to hire (£10), or bring your own if you prefer. Just turn up and play.
Can kids and families play?
Kids are always welcome, and it's a good way to get them into the game. Children just need a parent or guardian with them. More on kids and family golf, or other indoor things to do in Darlington.
