X-Golf of Commack brings a different take on the centuries’ old game.
Golf as a sport has seen a significant increase in popularity, especially with the younger generation. In terms of its economic impact, the sport generates over 100 billion dollars in revenue annually. When you think about it, Golf is one of the very few sports that has a social aspect to it. It’s fair to say that more friendships and business partnerships have been made through the game of golf than any other sport, while getting in some good exercise all at the same time.
Geoff Schwartz, owner of X-Golf of Commack opened his indoor golf simulator operation in 2022 and saw the industry’s growth, seized the opportunity and met the demand. “Golf is a game of concentration and technique that requires practice on a regular basis and that’s exactly what X-Golf brings to the table,” says Geoff. What makes X-Golf unique is that it’s not just a room filled with simulators, but a place where participants can play a full round of golf. X-Golf’s simulators are 98% real life in accuracy, making them the highest rated in the industry. As I waited for Geoff to speak with me, I was fascinated to watch players see their ball traveling through the course, making it so real to life. From the outside of the building, it looks like a small operation. Nothing could be further from the truth. As you enter the space, there is a long corridor that opens to a large venue with plenty of golf simulators, a sports bar, with great cocktails, food, a lounge area and party/karaoke room. Most importantly, there is a resident PGA professional on premises that offers one on one training that can help bring your game up to “par.”
Mr. Schwartz goes on and says, “that’s what our customers love about X-Golf. It’s a place where you can hone your game solo or with friends. We have established leagues at X-Golf where up to 4 players can compete with other teams. The social aspect of it all makes X-Golf a stimulating space on so many levels.” You can practice year-round regardless of weather conditions; improve your game without feeling intimated on the course; enjoy the sporting aspect of it with friends and family and get professional instruction from a PGA professional. The big bonus is that you can enjoy all of this with their sports bar and full menu of cocktails, including cool brews too!
