Okanagan Virtual Golf Opens New Location, Keeping Golf Alive Year-Round

As October rolls in, golf enthusiasts in the area often face the bittersweet feeling of seasonal course closures. But thankfully, the end of outdoor golfing doesn’t mean an end to the game for long! Enter Okanagan Virtual Golf (OVG), which has just unveiled a brand-new location at 730 Vaughan Ave in the bustling North End brewery district. This new hotspot is set to revolutionize how locals enjoy the game, no matter the weather.

The Reappearance of a Local Favorite

OVG first made its mark in Penticton just two years ago, quickly establishing a reputation for providing golf lovers with a chance to perfect their swing in a cozy indoor setting. After successfully launching a Kamloops location last fall, co-founder Andrew Baron is thrilled to bring the experience back to Kelowna, easing his previous commute.

Everything You Need for an Unmatched Experience

At the new Kelowna facility, golfers will discover four virtual golf bays equipped with cutting-edge technology designed to enhance their experience. Using the esteemed Uneekor EYE XO2 launch monitor, players can expect top-notch shot simulation accuracy. This is all made even more exciting with the GSPro software, which boasts a selection of around 2,000 golf courses worldwide, including iconic spots like Augusta and Pebble Beach.

Each bay also features two training cameras that significantly improve swing analysis, giving patrons a robust tool for honing their skills. Fun is a crucial part of the experience, with options to engage in closest to the pin challenges, long drive competitions, and entertaining games for kids.

The Perfect Blend of Sports and Socializing

OVG Kelowna doesn’t stop at just golf; it also boasts a comprehensive bar menu loaded with local craft and mainstream beers, delightful cocktails, refreshing mocktails, and scrumptious snacks. Plus, for those feeling a bit peckish while they play, there’s a chance to either bring in their own food or order it from local eateries. And for those keen on a more extensive menu, plans are in the works to add a kitchen that serves light food options.

Compete and Connect at Weekly Leagues

This winter, OVG Kelowna is all set to launch structured weekly golf leagues inspired by city recreational leagues. These leagues will kick off from Sunday to Thursday evenings, complete with predetermined time slots designed to keep the community engaged and connected.

Perfect for Any Event

Whether it’s a birthday bash, team outing, or just about any gathering, OVG Kelowna is designed to host private events with current capacity for up to 50 people, and plans to extend it to 100 soon. Guests can enjoy full access to the golf bays, lounge area, yard games, and bar service, creating a memorable atmosphere for any occasion.

Affordable Fun for Everyone

For those ready to take the plunge and book a bay, the rental cost is a reasonable $60 hourly after 5:30 PM or on weekends, with a budget-friendly $45 rate available before 5:30 PM on weekdays. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own golf clubs; however, if someone is considering a purchase or didn’t bring theirs, there are four rental sets available from Haywood Golf.

Open Daily to Serve You

Okanagan Virtual Golf is ready to welcome you every day from 9 AM to 10:30 PM. As the courses close for the season, OVG Kelowna promises to be a vibrant social hub for the community, ensuring that golf never truly ends. So why not gather your friends, grab a drink, and swing into some fun? Golfing glory is now just a virtual tee-off away!
