Desert Links Indoor Golf

Desert Links Indoor Golf has built its reputation in the Phoenix, Arizona golf scene by doing the basics well powered by Trackman. The bays are set up for accurate ball tracking, the tech is maintained, and the space is designed to keep players comfortable during longer sessions. Some indoor golf venues feel like glorified driving ranges. The better ones — like this — treat simulator golf as its own category, with the equipment and environment to match.

What's Under the Hood

Desert Links Indoor Golf runs on Trackman, radar-based tracking trusted by PGA Tour players. The data output covers the metrics that actually matter for improvement: ball speed, launch angle, peak height, spin rate, and carry. Having those numbers on screen after every shot changes how you practice. Instead of guessing why your iron went left, you can see exactly what the face and path were doing. The virtual course library includes 450+ layouts — a mix of famous championship venues, bucket-list destination courses, and more relaxed tracks for when you just want to play without the scorecard pressure.

What They Offer

Membership options at Desert Links Indoor Golf are designed for golfers who plan to visit more than occasionally. The economics usually work out to a meaningful discount on hourly rates — the more you play, the more the math tilts in favor of a membership tier over pay-as-you-go. Members also tend to get priority booking access, which matters during peak evening and weekend hours.Bay time starts at $45/hour. Rates may vary by time slot and day of the week.

Drinks & Food

The ability to eat without leaving your bay is a practical convenience that most outdoor golf setups can't offer, and it makes the venue more suitable for groups who want to make an afternoon or evening of it rather than just knock out a quick round.
