Golf like you've never played it.

Hit real balls into a 4K screen that tells you exactly how far each one flew. Three bays — one on TrackMan, two on GSPro — 2000+ courses, and a bar that brings drinks to you.

£27 an hour per bay, not per person. Friday and Saturday evenings go first — message us or call 07507 348241.

Why golfers keep coming back.

  • Always dry
  • Every shot tracked, nothing to go and find
  • A full round in an hour, or 2000 courses to pick from if you'd rather work through the famous ones a few holes at a time
  • Table service to the bay
  • Trainers and work clothes are fine
  • £27 an hour for the bay, however many of you are in it

Then settle it with a game.

  1. Closest to the Pin

    One shot, one green, nearest the flag takes it. Quick, tense, and how most rounds here decide who's buying.

  2. Longest Drive

    Wind up and let rip. Biggest carry wins, and TrackMan puts the number on the screen so nobody can argue.

  3. 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.

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 can be hired at the venue if you haven't got any.

Never swapped a bucket of balls for a bay before? We've written up how a simulator compares with a driving range, and just how accurate the numbers really are.

It's independently owned, so the person who books you in, sets your bay up and explains what the TrackMan numbers actually mean is usually Michael, who owns it. No franchise script. First-timers and regulars both mention him by name in our Google reviews, and the venue runs ladies' nights and charity days alongside everyday bay hire.

Two minutes off the A66, barely longer from the A1(M), with free parking at the door. An easy run from Durham, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Bishop Auckland and Northallerton.

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!

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 for the whole bay, not per person. Four of you sharing a bay works out around £6.75 each, and packages and memberships bring it down further.

Do I need my own clubs?

Not at all. Clubs can be hired at the venue, 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.

£27 an hour. Per bay, not per person.

Four of you sharing a bay works out around £6.75 each for the hour. Friday and Saturday evenings go first, so book ahead if you want one. First visit? Message or call with the code below and take 10% off.

Great time on the virtual golf course as a complete beginner. Michael was a brilliant coach!
