About GolfIndoorPass

The Marketplace for Indoor Golf

GolfIndoorPass is a marketplace connecting golfers with indoor golf facilities.

Facilities have simulator bays that sometimes sit empty because of off-peak hours, cancellations, weather patterns, or changing demand.

Golfers want more places to practice and play without always paying full-price hourly rates.

GolfIndoorPass connects the two.

Facilities post Bay Deals. Golfers find and book them.

Why I Started GolfIndoorPass

Golf has been part of my life for decades. As a teenager, I played competitive golf and came within one stroke of advancing through U.S. Open qualifying.

Then life took me in another direction. For 31 years, I didn’t compete in a golf tournament. But golf never completely left my life.

My journey back to the game became part of a much bigger story. I was born with epilepsy and spent much of my life dealing with seizures, medications, uncertainty, and fear.

Eventually that journey led me to awake brain surgery at UCSF. I had to fight my way back—not only physically, but through challenges with speech and communication following surgery.

That experience changed how I looked at life. I was given another opportunity to pursue things I had once put aside. One of those things was golf.

After 31 years away from competitive golf, I returned to tournament competition. My personal journey of epilepsy, brain surgery, recovery, faith, and finding purpose is told through AWAKE.

Golf Gave Me Something to Come Back To

Returning to golf reminded me how much the game has changed. Weather can make traditional golf difficult, while green fees, practice costs, and the time required to play 18 holes can add up quickly.

At the same time, indoor golf has exploded. Simulator technology gives golfers the ability to practice and play incredible courses regardless of weather or time of day.

But I saw another problem: facilities sometimes have empty bays while golfers are looking for affordable places to play. That disconnect became the opportunity behind GolfIndoorPass.

Bay Deals

Bay Deals are at the heart of the GolfIndoorPass marketplace.

A facility with available simulator time can post a special offer on GolfIndoorPass. The facility determines the available time and price. Golfers search the marketplace, find a Bay Deal that works for them, and book it.

That could be:

  • An off-peak opening
  • A slow weekday
  • A cancellation
  • A same-day opening
  • A last-minute deal
  • A special promotion

For Golfers

GolfIndoorPass makes it easier to discover indoor golf facilities and compare available offers in one place. Whether you’re looking to practice your swing, play a virtual round, try a new facility, or simply find a better price, the marketplace helps you find available opportunities nearby.

Built for Facility Owners

GolfIndoorPass isn’t designed to replace a facility’s existing customers or pricing. It’s designed to help facilities monetize inventory that might otherwise go unused.

Facilities control:

  • When to post.
  • What to offer.
  • What to charge.
  • How many bays to make available.

GolfIndoorPass provides the marketplace connecting that inventory with golfers looking for opportunities to play.
