If you've never used an indoor golf simulator before (or it's been a while), your first session can feel a bit unknown: what do I bring, how does it work, will I slow everyone down?
This guide is for first-timers, returning golfers, and anyone who just wants a relaxed, weatherproof way to practise. Here's exactly what to expect at FlexTee — plus a few tips to get the most out of your hour.
What FlexTee is (and who it's for)
FlexTee is an indoor golf simulator facility built for real practice and real fun — whether you're:
- Getting back into golf after a break
- Working on your swing with structured feedback
- Looking for a reliable place to play when the weather turns
- Wanting a membership option with 24/7 access
You don't need to be “good enough” to come in. If you can swing a club, you'll fit right in.
Before you arrive — what to bring
Keep it simple:
- Your golf clubs (if you have them)
- A glove (optional, but helpful)
- Clean trainers (ideal for comfort and keeping the space tidy)
If you're new and don't have clubs yet, that's still workable — just get in touch first and we'll advise on the best option.
What happens when you get here (step-by-step)
Quick setup
You'll get a quick run-through so you feel comfortable:
- How the bay works
- Where to stand
- How the ball tracking works
- How to start a round or a practice session
Choose your session style: play or practise
Most first-timers do one of these:
- Play a course (fun, low-pressure, great with mates)
- Range/practice mode (best if you want feedback and improvement)
If you tell us your goal (“I want to stop slicing” / “I want better contact”), we'll point you to the most useful setup.
Hit shots with real feedback
FlexTee uses a ProTee VX launch monitor with GSPro software. That means you'll see useful data like:
- Ball speed
- Carry distance
- Launch angle
- Spin (where available)
- Shot shape
You don't need to understand every metric on day one — just treat it as instant feedback that makes practice more productive.
FAQs (first-time questions we hear all the time)
“Do I need to be good at golf?”
No. Indoor golf is one of the best ways to improve because you can practise without pressure — and you get feedback on every shot.
“How long is a session?”
Most bookings are 1 hour, which is plenty for a focused practice session or a solid chunk of a course (depending on group size and pace).
“How many people can use one bay?”
It depends on what you want to do (practice vs course play). If you’re booking for a group, message us and we’ll recommend the best setup so everyone gets enough swings.
“What if I’m coming on my own?”
Perfect. Solo sessions are ideal for improvement — especially if you want to work on one change and measure progress.
“Is it only open in the day?”
For the public, typical hours are 10am–10pm. Members get 24-hour access, which is ideal if you prefer quieter practice times or want to train around work.
“Can I get coaching?”
Yes — one-to-one coaching is available, and it pairs brilliantly with simulator feedback because you can measure changes immediately.
3 quick tips to get more from your first session
Pick one goal
For example, “better contact” or “start line” — rather than trying to fix everything at once.
Warm up with half swings for 5 minutes
Your strike improves fast once you've loosened up. Don't go straight for the driver.
Use the data as a guide, not a judgement
One great shot doesn't mean you've “fixed it”, and one bad shot doesn't mean you're hopeless. Look for patterns over time.
