Indoor Golf in the
Inland Empire
Chino’s agricultural heritage has given way to a booming suburban landscape, but its golf roots run deep with historic tracks like El Prado and Los Serranos. However, the Inland Empire is notorious for triple-digit summer heat and the fierce Santa Ana winds, making outdoor play challenging during peak seasons.
To beat the elements, locals flock to Smash Factor Virtual Golf & Lounge on Grand Avenue. Offering a climate-controlled environment with a strong social vibe, it provides the perfect “19th Hole” experience without the sunburn, serving the communities of Chino Hills, The Preserve, and beyond.
