The K Club set to unveil golf simulator experience - K Club World

It was a media centre for the European Open in 2007 but The K Club has now found a new use for the Sprung Structure at the Palmer South Course and created K Golf World.

Set to open in December, or when coronavirus health restrictions allow, it’s an indoor centre featuring golf simulators that will allow clients to play the best courses in the world and enjoy the hospitality that you would associate with a top hotel such as The K Club.

It is described as “a sophisticated, comfortable, suite of state of the art standalone golf simulators with eight spacious and high-tech bays, each accommodating maximum of four golfers at a time, and all backed with the exceptional five-star service and attention to detail of The K Club.”

With two hyper-speed cameras operating at 3,000 frames per second, which also produce a stereoscopic effect, the K Golf World simulator system provides real-time footage of ball spin, club path and true impact -- and one of the very few systems available that can measure actual spin data. 

The overhead monitors also track both ball and club data with unmatched accuracy, allowing golfers to swing freely because of their ceiling mounts. Swing analysis cameras are directly integrated with the software in addition to the tracking cameras, and the videos are displayed after each shot to give proof of what happened, making it suitable for all users, especially club fitters and coaches.

According to the press release, “you can go solo and enjoy your own virtual driving range, work on your short game complex and practice your drives, approach shots, chips and putts on any hole in the world. 

“You and your friends can also play a virtual round and compete on some of the world's greatest golf courses from the comfort of the country's first custom-built public simulator facility, with its spacious and luxuriously furnished bays, handsome bar and excellent food.”

Available from €40 per hour per bay, for further information and to reserve your time see www.kgolfworld.ie. K Golf World will open as soon as it's safe to do so.
