Golf indoor Center in Barcelona, Spain
Hi golfers,
I am a golf lover who is thinking of riding indoor golf center here in Barcelona, Spain .
In my country there is no a center of these characteristics , probably because we have a wonderful climate that allows us to play on golf courses throughout the year .
But nevertheless , I think it might be a good option for business and would love to bring the wonderful sport of golf to those who have never considered playing .
To do this , I plan to mount a center with four simulators equipped with the Foresight GC2 in a place where in addition to playing golf , you can eat, take a beer or a soda, and enjoy sporting events on giant screens.
I would love for those who have experience in such centers and those who do not have ever used but you play golf , that would make you to go play golf in this kind of installation.
Of course , any advice is welcome .
My target customer is of two types : golfers who want to practice getting good feedback from GC2 . The other group of customers would be people who have never played golf on a club because of poor image of this sport in spain, associated with rich people. One of my goals is to eliminate such prejudice and show people how fun it can be to play golf in the company of your family or your friends .
Thank you and sorry for my english...

I lived in Barcelona for a while a few years back. I wish there would have been something like this in the city. Love that place, can't get back soon enough. Good luck and keep us posted.

I'll report the progress of the project, but is still in an embryonic stage. We are in the process of formulating a business plan.
I wish you could come back to our wonderful city soon and when you do, you can enjoy our facilities.

I would take inspiration from successful simulator business's
This is one of my favourite's in the UK. Maybe worth visiting some of these establishments before jumping in with both feet.

The site is really interesting.... there are a lot of good ideas
I would love visiting some indoor golf facilities, but in my country, Spain, there is none... so my only option is view them by web.
That's one of the reasons I believe it could be a great business chance....

Thanks Chief, you are right, Barcelona is a beautiful city....what can I say??
But the location of the facility won't be in that beautiful touristic places. They are very expensive and parking is hard....

Hi guys,
As you know, I'm planning to open an indoor golf center powered by GC2. But I have doubts about what software install on the device.
I've been reading a lot in the forum about FS1 (redchain) and Creative Golf 3D. From my regarding, I believe that FS is more serious and accurate for low hcp golfers and CG3 is more fun for children and people starting playing golf.
Which software do you believe could be better for the business??? What about Protee software???
Thanks
PD: you all are invited to play in my center when you visit Barcelona

Hi - how are you getting on with this idea? I am currently studying an MBA in Barcelona and would love to get involved if you need some help... If you do, please send me a PM. The reason I found this is that I am desperately trying to meet my golf addiction but Barcelona has nothing without travelling out of the city and I was hoping there was an UrbanGolf equivalent. Best of luck mate!
