New indoor golf venue to open in Crawley
A new indoor golf venue with five simulator bays, a bar and a kitchen is set to open in Crawley this month.
Stripe Club Golf Studios will open at 18 Lloyds Court, Manor Royal, offering golfers the chance to play virtual rounds on more than 500 courses.
An opening date has yet to be announced, but residents can register for a free drop-in launch weekend session.
The refurbished venue will feature five Trackman iO simulator bays, which allow players to practise their swings, analyse shots and compete on virtual courses. Standard bookings will accommodate up to four players per bay, with larger groups catered for by prior arrangement.
The studios will open from 8am to 10pm, seven days a week. Facilities include a lounge, private breakout areas and a bar and kitchen serving charcuterie and cheese platters.
Co-founder Richard Kelly said: “We wanted to build the kind of place we’d want to play ourselves. Great technology, a proper welcome and somewhere you can drop in whenever suits you.”
Fellow co-founder Paul Patterson said: “Whether you’ve played for thirty years or never held a club, we want you to walk in and enjoy it.”
The business plans to run regular competitions and events for players of different abilities.
The Crawley venue is Stripe Club’s first site. The company also designs and installs home golf simulators across Surrey and Sussex.
Anyone interested in attending the launch weekend can register at www.stripeclub.golf or email [email protected]. The organisers say spaces are limited.
Those registering will also receive details of founder membership offers, with the joining fee waived for the first 50 founder members.
