Nestled in the heart of Mackay, Fairways Golf Simulator and Bar has opened its doors offering a unique blend of technology, sport and socialising that promises to redefine your golfing experience. Whether you’re a novice looking to learn, an amateur eager to improve, or a professional perfecting your swing, the facility provides the perfect golfing environment, rain, hail or shine.
At the core of the centre’s allure are the advanced golf simulators, equipped with radar tracking technology and cameras for precise 4D silhouette club head tracking. This innovative system captures every detail of your swing, ensuring an accurate analysis across all shot types.
But the experience doesn’t end at swing analysis.
The Centre offers access to over 200 golf courses worldwide through the TrackMan Virtual Golf software. Golf enthusiasts can traverse the virtual greens of renowned courses like Valderrama, Wentworth, and the historic St. Andrews Links without leaving Mackay. It’s a golfer’s dream, providing the perfect escape to iconic courses around the globe.
Adding a dash of fun to the mix, the centre features engaging games such as Bullseye, Closest to the Pin and Capture the Flag. These games are designed to challenge your golfing skills while ensuring an enjoyable time with friends and family.
And, for those looking to level up their game, TRACY, TrackMan’s AI golf trainer, offers personalised training sessions. By analysing your unique swing DNA, TRACY pinpoints critical areas for improvement, making your practice sessions both efficient and effective.
The Clubhouse Menu complements your golfing experience with a delightful selection of food and beverages. From the savory Sand-Wedges and The Greens wraps to the delicious Sand-Trap meat pies and On a Roll sausage rolls, there’s something for every palate. To top it off, the Sweet-Tee section satisfies your sweet tooth.
Meanwhile, the bar, a tribute to Adrian “Gaffa” Johnson, offers a variety of drinks to toast to your golfing victories.
Not being a golfer in any way and feeling quite intimidated stepping through the doors, the centre impressed me with its fresh and clean environment, complemented by friendly staff ready to assist golfers of all skill levels. The food was simple yet satisfying, the drink selection vast, and the overall value undeniable. It’s no wonder the centre is a hit, often fully booked on weekends.
The ease of booking and the comprehensive, enjoyable experience make it a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun day out in Mackay. Whether you’re aiming to improve your game or simply looking for a great time with friends, Mackay’s first golf simulator centre is the place to be.
