Hoover Indoor Golf FAQ

Is Tap Ins suitable for kids?

Yes! In addition to golf simulators, they offer duckpin bowling which is very popular with families. However, late evenings tend to have more of a bar atmosphere.

Do I need a membership for The Back Nine?

Not necessarily. While memberships grant 24/7 access and are popular with serious players, non-members can book simulator time during staffed public hours.

What is PuttView?

Found at Magic City Indoor Golf, PuttView is an augmented reality system that projects putting lines and breaks directly onto the green, offering a unique short-game practice experience.

Can I bring my own clubs?

Yes, all three venues encourage bringing your own clubs. However, Tap Ins does provide house clubs for casual groups who may not have their own gear.
