A map pin tells you a golf business is here; it does not tell you whether you can hit in January. These places have indoor bays — simulator rooms, heated hitting rooms, or a full indoor range — so the season stops mattering. Most sell time rather than balls: you book a bay by the hour and share it with whoever comes along, which makes an hour cheaper per person than it first looks.

Good to know
How much does an hour at a golf simulator cost?
Commonly $40-60 an hour for the bay, not per person, with off-peak mornings lower and Friday evenings highest. Up to four or six people usually share one bay at no extra charge, so a group splits the same hour.
Do I need my own clubs for an indoor golf simulator?
No. Nearly every simulator venue keeps loaner sets, and many include them in the hourly rate. Bring your own if you are working on your gapping — a familiar set gives numbers you can trust.
Can a complete beginner use a golf simulator?
Yes, and it is an easier place to start than an outdoor range: you are in a private bay rather than a line of strangers, and the screen shows what the ball did. Say it is your first time when booking and most places will set the software to a forgiving mode.
