X Golf is a great place to play a round of Simulation Golf! The Atmosphere is relaxing and friendly. The Ability for spectators to watch comfortably at a table or couch in each bay is a feature that is not found in many other Golf Sim Locations. The Golf Simulation Setup is very professional and enjoyable. The simulation by default gives you the preferred amount of information to help improve your golf game with the ability to give more data/details if desired. This is incredibly more helpful when making adjustments or trying something new with your Golf swing! Overall incredibly impressed by X Golf! Lessons at X Golf are Incredibly helpful. The coaches/staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and communicate easily even with all range of Golfers. The benefit of having Lessons at X Golf with a simulation over a standard driving range, is the ability to easily see the extra data on your swing. This includes impact location of the ball, speed, distance, spin etc. This allows for even more productive golf lessons. After just a single 1 hour golf lesson session i was able to see VERY noticeable improvements in the following areas: straighter drives, ball lofting, Aiming, Chipping, and putting. Overall by far the best Golf lessons i have had! X Golf was even able to Regrip my clubs, after learning from my Golf Lesson, i needed larger grips! Highly Recommend X Golf for Golf Lessons!
