Indoor Golf in
Shelby County
Alabaster’s golf scene is anchored by the beautiful rolling hills of Ballantrae, but when the Alabama summer heat spikes or winter rain sets in, serious golfers move indoors. The city is home to The Clubhouse Golf Studio, a dedicated 24/7 simulator facility.
Located conveniently near the Colonial Promenade, indoor golf here is focused on privacy, data, and accessibility. Whether you live in the Silver Creek subdivisions or are commuting down I-65, this guide covers your best options for year-round play.

Neighborhood Guide
Promenade & Commercial
The Clubhouse Golf Studio is situated centrally near the Colonial Promenade. It’s perfect for dropping family off for shopping or a movie while you get in a quick 18 holes on the simulator.
Ballantrae / East
Home to Alabaster’s premier outdoor course, this area is scenic but weather-dependent. Residents here utilize The Clubhouse (approx. 10 min drive) for evening practice or rainy days.
Medical Center Area
Healthcare workers at Shelby Baptist find the 24/7 access model of local simulators ideal for off-shift practice, avoiding the peak hours of traditional golf courses.
I-65 Corridor / Pelham
If you are commuting from Pelham, The Clubhouse is just a short drive south on Hwy 31, offering a more private alternative to the larger entertainment ranges found further north.
Alabaster Indoor Golf FAQ
Do I need to bring my own clubs?
Yes. Since The Clubhouse Golf Studio operates largely as a private/unmanned facility for members, you should bring your own clubs. There are no rental sets typically available on site.
Is it open to the public?
Yes, but with conditions. While it offers 24/7 access to members, non-members can book bay time by appointment. It is not a “walk-in” bar environment like Topgolf.
What software do they use?
Alabaster’s simulators utilize GSPro, which is widely regarded as the industry leader for 4K graphics and realistic ball physics, alongside Bushnell launch monitors.
Can I bring food or drinks?
Generally, private studios allow BYOB and food for booked sessions, but you must clean up after yourself. Always check the specific booking confirmation for the latest house rules.
