Golf Simulators in Minneapolis: 52 Venues and Five That Never Close

Fifty-two venues. That is how deep the Twin Cities sim scene runs, and it makes sense: nowhere else we cover combines this much golf culture with this much winter. Hourly bays run $20 to $60 across the metro, memberships start under $50 a month, and the 24/7 key-fob club has at least five members.

This guide curates the standouts by what you need: the best night out, the cheapest serious hour, the practice studios, and the around-the-clock rooms. The full metro directory holds all 52 with live maps.

How Minneapolis’s best simulator venues compare

Rates change often, so treat every number here as a starting point and confirm with the venue before you book.

Five Iron Golf: the North Loop anchor

Downtown’s sim scene starts at Five Iron Golf on N Washington Ave in the North Loop. The bays run Trackman with high-speed cameras, the kitchen and bar keep groups fed, and coaching, leagues and Callaway club fitting round out the offer. Hourly rates sit on the booking page and vary by slot, with memberships that add daily included golf. It holds a 4.9 across 194 Google reviews, and for after-work golf downtown it has no real rival.

The other city-proper option could not be more different. Shotshape Golf Studio in Northeast Minneapolis is a members-only Trackman room with 24/7 access and a perfect 5.0 rating: quiet, serious, and always open. Between the two of them, the city covers both ends of the sim spectrum.

On the Green: the metro’s most-loved room

No Twin Cities venue has more perfect reviews than On the Green in Blaine: a 5.0 across 264 of them. It runs as a sim bar with food, drinks, leagues, memberships and lessons, and the review count keeps climbing. Rates are not posted online, so call (651) 728-6936 before you go. For the north metro, this is the default answer.

The 24/7 club: five rooms that never close

Minnesota winters built this category, and the Twin Cities lead every metro we cover in it. 24 Golf Eagan pairs Foresight launch monitors with PuttView projected putting greens. It runs leagues and lessons, and members get the keys around the clock. Shotshape covers the city. Summit Swing, which rebranded from Launch Club this year, covers Maple Grove with a 5.0 across 136 reviews. Eden Club runs private Trackman rooms in Eden Prairie, and Green Pro serves Ham Lake. If your golf hour is midnight, this metro has you covered five ways.

Mulligan’s: the $25 hour in Eagan

The best posted price in the metro belongs to Mulligan’s Indoor Golf: Uneekor bays starting at $25 an hour, with food, drinks and winter leagues. It holds a perfect 5.0 across 51 reviews, and rates can change, so confirm before you drive. Eagan quietly hosts two of the metro’s best rooms, with 24 Golf a few minutes away.

The other value play is seasonal. Swing Lab in Lakeville posts $20 weekday summer hours on Trackman with PuttView. Its $99-a-month unlimited membership is the cheapest all-you-can-play Trackman we have seen anywhere. Winter rates differ, so check with the studio.

The suburban map: west, east and south

The west metro leans on Maple Grove and Eden Prairie. Optimal Performance Golf in Maple Grove holds a 4.9 across 82 reviews with a full bar and coaching. Inside Edge runs aboutGolf bays in Eden Prairie, with X-Golf Eden Prairie and 4 Seasons Golf nearby, and The Barn Club and The Tee Box MN covering Hopkins.

East and north, Ugly Putters in Oakdale is the event room, holding a 4.9 across 116 reviews. PAR365 in Roseville sells memberships from $49 a month with a full bar. Green Pro in Ham Lake doubles as the metro’s installer, building home sims from $12,000. Membership and build prices move, so verify with each shop.

South, Office Golf gives Bloomington a Trackman sim bar, Element runs Golfzon bays in Burnsville, and Lakeville stacks three rooms within minutes: Swing Lab, Lakeville Links on Golfzon, and Tap-Ins.

The edges of the metro hold their own. St. Croix National in Somerset pairs a full course with a sim-equipped event center and a 4.7 across 530 reviews, the biggest review base in this guide. Bogibox gives Hudson a members room, Bogey’s Pub covers Hastings with bays and beer, and The Golf Garage in Shakopee holds a 4.9 across 28 reviews. Northwest, The Office at Broadway serves Rogers and X-Golf Champlin anchors the river towns at 4.8 across 110 reviews. Wherever the metro thins out, a sim room turns up anyway.

The X-Golf seven and the franchise bench

No metro we cover has a deeper X-Golf footprint: seven locations ring the cities, from Woodbury (4.8, 128 reviews) and Blaine to Champlin, Medina, Apple Valley and Eden Prairie. Woodbury’s winter leagues post at $340 to $500 a player depending on format, with member discounts. League pricing shifts each season, so confirm when you register.

The coaching bench runs deep as well. GOLFTEC operates five metro studios, from Eagan (4.9 across 43 reviews) and Roseville to Minnetonka, which holds a perfect 5.0. Ernie Rose Golf teaches in Eden Prairie at 4.8 across 36 reviews. Members-only studios fill the practice niche too: Kraftygolf in Plymouth holds a 5.0 across 54 reviews, and Foreged Indoor Country Club gives Shoreview a private-club feel. For retail fitting bays, the four Golf Galaxy stores include two full Performance Centers, in Roseville and Woodbury.

Downtown adds a hotel twist: Topgolf Swing Suites operate at The Marquette and the Graduate near campus, which makes them the easy group-night pick for visitors staying downtown. The Marquette’s suite sits inside a hotel rated 4.4 across more than 1,900 reviews, so the room comes with room service. For coaching, GOLFTEC runs five metro studios, and the John W. Mooty Facility at the U of M is where the Gophers train.

New, renamed and on the way

The metro map keeps moving. Maple Grove’s Launch Club now answers to Summit Swing Indoor Golf Club, same room and same perfect rating under a new name. The Back Nine says a Minnetonka studio is coming soon on its site, running Full Swing like its Hudson location across the St. Croix, which holds a 5.0 across 33 reviews. And the city itself is in the game: Columbia Golf Club in Northeast runs park-board simulators at its clubhouse through the winter. One more distinction worth knowing: the Braemar Golf Dome in Edina is a heated driving range dome rather than a simulator room, great for full-flight practice, different tool entirely.

What you should expect to pay for indoor golf in Minneapolis

Posted hourly rates run $20 to $60 across the metro. The verified low end is Swing Lab’s $20 summer weekday hour and Mulligan’s $25 standard rate, with most bar-style venues landing between $40 and $60 at peak. Bays typically take four to six players, so a peak hour splits to $10 to $15 a head. Every number moves with the season, so confirm when you book.

Memberships are where this metro shines. PAR365 tiers start at $49 a month, Swing Lab’s unlimited Trackman plan posts at $99, and the five 24/7 clubs all sell always-open access. If you plan to play weekly from November through April, and in Minnesota that is a real plan, a membership almost always beats hourly rates. Winter leagues everywhere from Woodbury to Lakeville lock in a weekly bay besides.

Building a simulator at home in Minneapolis

With winters this long, the home build math works harder here than anywhere. Start with the golf simulator room dimensions checker to confirm your basement clears a driver swing. Then read the cost guide for budget ranges and the DIY build guide for components. One local shop, Green Pro in Ham Lake, quotes installed builds from $12,000, and the used simulator guide shows how to come in under that.
