Very nice facility for practice or instruction. I have had golf lessons from many different people in the area, but prefer Wade's teaching style. As far as i know, Wade is the only instructor in the area using the technology that he uses. It makes a big difference when you can actually see what you do wrong in your swing. Best rates on instruction as well.

Been there a couple times and everyone has been great. Went this week for a club fitting for some Mizuno MP20 MMC's. Toney was awesome working with me and going over all the data. They have the shaft optimizer and flightscope. Hit several recommended shaft options, standard length and 1/2 longer. I'm tall so the longer length was perfect. Since I bought the clubs there no charge for the fitting. If you are looking for Mizuno's Toney is the man to see.

Great place, Tony is the best, his work is second to none, only place I will take my clubs for repair or grips!

Place is very nice and affordable and the simulators are cool. We didn't go there to play golf though we went to get some distance numbers going into the tournament season. I'm not sure if it was because we have higher swing speeds but the simulator was extremely inconsistent. One wedge would go 150 and another 70 on the same swing. Simulator didn't even pick up long irons or 3 wood and the numbers it was giving me with my driver we're very odd. If you're looking to have fun on a rainy day and play some simulator golf this place is great but for really specific accuracy on your clubhead and the ball it's probably not as accurate as a trackman.

Wade and Tony have created a hidden gem and cornerstone of the Greenville golf community. The simulators are a great value and provide a lot of fun for a “night in” with golf and drinks. They also offer club fitting services and stock the latest Mizuno and Titleist clubs. For me, the true standout is Tony’s club repair shop. I’ve had full sets built, shafts repaired, loft and lie checks, and brought in other clubs for a “second opinion.” Tony’s work is second to none, and it’s no surprise that local and traveling pros rely on him regularly. If you haven’t stopped by yet to play the course simulators, buy some clubs, or get your current set worked on, you owe it to your game to give them a try.

Just did an hour session there the owners could not be nicer or more helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and knew how to use the equipment and we had a great time. I highly recommend checking them out, if you’re looking for an indoor golf activity, I think this is your place. I think you could also get better practicing in here using the equipment and all the data you get from the simulator.
