When we think of playing golf, we typically envision sprawling green landscapes, rolling hills, water hazards and the invigorating smell of freshly mowed grass, with grounds staff flying across the fairways in buggy's or straddling heavy machinery, grafting endlessly to keep the course pristine for both its members and visitors.
The golf courses in Nottingham have delighted pro’s, amateurs and seasoned players for over 100 years – making the County a real golfing destination of the Midlands.
However, as the colder months start to roll in, temperatures plummet and the daylight hours shorten, the thought of strolling out onto a golf course for 4 hours can be somewhat discouraging to say the least. Even the most hardcore of golfers get days where the UK’s pitiful winter weather puts an end (or even a start) to a day of golf on the course.
And that’s where Outtabounds comes in! An indoor high-tech golf facility that offers a modern alternative for golfers seeking to play without the chill of the winter air or the fear of getting your golf trolley stuck in a mound of freshly churned turf.
But Wait! Indoors?
It’s true, whilst playing golf on a simulator indoors may initially seem like a strange idea or counterintuitive to the golfing traditionalist, its benefits and the type of golfers who now play indoors are hard to ignore.
Now days, the majority of Tour Pros have installed golf simulators inside their luxury homes or have had them purposely built in their gardens so that they can practice without even having to jump in the car to go to the course.
Golf simulators offer year-round play in controlled environments which delivery instant access to all the latest technology and swing data you could ever wish for and in real-time for constant skill improvement.
Outtabounds offers all the above but on an ‘open to the public’ level.
Whether you’re looking to improve your swing, hit a few down a driving range, or play 18 holes at a fancy course at high altitude somewhere on a mountain in Eastern Europe, indoor golf can provide a whole new golfing experience that complements outdoor play beautifully. It lets you be right there, out on the course, putting for glory in front of your mates, but in a familiar safe setting without having to book expensive trips away from the family.
What Makes Outtabounds Stand Out?
Year-Round Access: Forget about seasonal interruptions that happen out of the golf course, indoor golf bypasses all of these winter threats. Outtabounds allows golfers to book a session any time of the day (within the opening hours 9am–9pm), regardless of what the weather man has in store. When all the golf courses in Nottingham are unplayable or the dreaded course closed announcement pings your inbox, Outtabounds still gives the all-clear to play your round.
Cutting-Edge Tech: Equipped with one of the best golf launch monitors (The Flightscope Mevo+) and projectors on the market, Outtabounds provides an incredibly realistic golfing experience. You can challenge yourself on famous courses from around the world, simulate various weather conditions, and even track your swing data to refine your game.
The 19th Hole: As any golfer knows all to well, a round of golf is not just about playing 18 holes and then going home for tea. It’s about the sport, the camaraderie and the nice cold drink and social at the end of the round with your mates in the clubhouse.
Outtabounds has a super-laid-back atmosphere where friends can gather, enjoy some drinks and snacks and share the fun of friendly competition all under one fairway.
Offers for All Skill Levels: Whether you're a novice looking to learn the ropes of this incredibly difficult sport or an experienced golfer wanting to hone your accuracy for the new awaiting season, Outtabounds provides the perfect setting for PGA indoor golf lessons to improve and enjoy golf for years to come.
Embrace Indoor Golf This Winter
With so many great golf courses in Nottingham to choose from, but very few indoor facilities to choose, it’s easy to assume that outdoor courses are the only option. However, the emergence of Outtabounds presents an exciting opportunity to extend our love for the game even when traditional golf courses are less accessible. It’s not better, it’s not worse, its another option for golf. It’s what the sport deserves!
So, as the cold winter chill starts to set in, don’t bundle your golf clubs in the shed just yet. Embrace the new era of indoor golf and keep the dream alive, regardless of the season. After all, golf is more than a game; it’s a passion, a community, and now, with the arrival of Outtabounds, it’s a year-round endeavour right here on your doorstep in Nottingham!
