Bringing Virtual Golf to Downtown Toronto

InnerGolf is about to be born. We will be open in just a few weeks and are already beginning to book tee off times and sign up new members. Our 6000 square foot facility is almost ready to go and our staff hired!

Some time ago, my partners and I began to look for the best virtual golf simulator technology we could find. As avid golfers living downtown, we realized that it was becoming harder and harder for us to practice and play our sport. After all, there are really only three months a year in Toronto that you can fit in an after work round. But more than that, the traffic and the loss of downtown practice facilities made working on your game an impossibility for most players. Ideally, we needed more golf facilities within 15 minutes of King and Bay. Not going to happen.

Virtual golf was the answer. InnerGolf's golf simulators allow downtown golfers to play all year round, in the morning, at night and as time permits. It's not a replacement for outdoor golf, which we all still love. It is completely different way to enjoy golf.

Golf simulators also allow you to play golf in whole new ways. For example, we will be introducing a golf ladder. Our golf ladder is a great new way to fit golf into your life. It works just like a squash ladder. You play head to head match play games against other members of our club that are about the same level as you. The winner moves up the ladder and the loser moves down. Each game lasts only an hour so you can fit it into your day at lunch or some other convenient time.

Personally, I am very competitive and look forward to playing golf ladder play at lost this year to hone my game and have a lot of fun. The golf ladder will run year round and is great example of a new way to play golf in downtonw Toronto.
