Virtual Golf for Beginners: What to Expect on Your First Visit

If the words “golf simulator” sound intimidating, you’re not alone. For many first-timers, walking into a virtual golf lounge might feel a little like walking onto an alien spaceship. What do you wear? Do you need to bring clubs? Will everyone else be a pro? The good news: you don’t need to be Rory McIlroy—or even know what a birdie is—to have a blast.


Virtual golf is designed for everyone, from seasoned players to total beginners. In fact, it’s one of the most beginner-friendly ways to dip your toes into the sport. Whether you’re planning a solo visit, coming with friends, or tagging along for a work event, this guide will walk you through exactly what to expect on your first trip to Gimme Virtual Golf—so you can walk in with confidence and walk out smiling.


Why Virtual Golf for beginners Is the Perfect Starting Point


Unlike traditional golf, there are no intimidating driving ranges, no lengthy 18-hole marathons, and no worries about the weather ruining your day. Virtual golf for beginners brings the experience indoors—with all the excitement and none of the pressure.


At Gimme Virtual Golf, our team is exclusively focused on delivering a premium virtual golf experience, allowing us to provide state-of-the-art simulation technology and unparalleled service to every golf enthusiast. Unlike traditional facilities that try to cater to a broad range of activities, we specialize solely in virtual golf, ensuring that every detail—from our cutting-edge Golfzon TwoVision+ simulators to our exclusive private rooms—is optimized for the ultimate golfing adventure.


So what can you expect on your first visit? Let’s break it down.


Booking Your Visit: Easy as Pie


We believe the hardest part about virtual golf should be choosing which course to play—not booking your visit.


To get started, simply email us at gimmevirtualgolf@gmail.com or give us a call at 780-854-7768. Our team will help you:


  • Pick the best time slot

  • Decide how many people to book for

  • Recommend session lengths based on experience

  • Reserve one of our private, premium simulator rooms


Whether you’re a party of one or ten, we’ve got space to accommodate you.


What to Wear: Keep It Casual


No polos required (unless that’s your thing). Virtual golf doesn’t demand a dress code, so wear whatever makes you comfortable. That said, a few tips will keep you swinging smoothly:


  • Comfortable clothes you can move in (avoid tight jeans or restrictive jackets)

  • Flat shoes with good grip—golf shoes are welcome but definitely not required

  • No high heels or cleats, please (they can damage the floor and your balance)


If you’re unsure, just aim for what you’d wear to the gym—or a casual night out.


What to Bring (and What to Leave Behind)


You don’t need to own golf clubs or a glove to enjoy virtual golf. At Gimme Virtual Golf, we’ve got you covered with:


  • Top-quality clubs available to use at no extra cost

  • Golf balls provided (our simulators track everything digitally—no chasing balls!)

  • Optional golf gloves if you prefer a better grip


If you do have your own clubs and want to bring them, feel free! But don’t stress if you’re coming empty-handed. We’re beginner-friendly from the ground up.


What the Experience Is Like


The magic happens when you step into one of our private rooms. Inside, you’ll find:


  • A massive screen displaying your selected course

  • A teeing area with real turf for an authentic feel

  • The Golfzon TwoVision+ simulator, tracking every movement in real-time

  • A lounge area where friends can hang out between swings

  • Full access to food, drinks, and tunes to set the mood


Gimme Virtual Golf elevates your game with immersive technology, offering over 240 world-class courses and a dynamic environment for both casual play and competitive leagues. We transform every swing into an opportunity to enhance your skills and connect with a vibrant community of passionate golfers who share your love for the game—even if you’re just starting out.

Here’s the best part: you don’t need to be a “golfer” to have fun. Virtual golf is just as much a social experience as it is a sporting one. You can:


  • Cheer on your friends

  • Take turns trying trick shots

  • Lounge with drinks while enjoying the action

  • Play mini games or just hit balls for fun


Think of it as a more interactive version of a night at the bowling alley or arcade—but with better tech and comfier seating.


Tips for First-Timers


Still nervous? Don’t be. Here are a few tips to make your first visit smooth and fun:


  1. Don’t worry about your swing. Everyone starts somewhere.

  2. Ask our team for a demo. We’ll show you how to hold the club, swing, and use the interface.

  3. Bring friends. A little encouragement (and laughter) goes a long way.

  4. Try different courses. From beachside fairways to mountain greens, variety keeps things exciting.

  5. Relax and enjoy. There’s no scorecard police—just good times ahead.
