Drivers Club

About Drivers Club

Drivers Club is a private event space in Portland, Oregon, situated above the Porsche Studio on NW Johnson Street in the Pearl District. The venue pairs golf simulators with Porsche racing simulators to create an experience that appeals to both golf enthusiasts and motorsport fans. With a capacity of up to 50 guests, customizable lighting and AV systems, and a fully equipped private bar, Drivers Club targets corporate entertaining, milestone celebrations, and upscale social gatherings.

The space is designed for reserved-access events rather than walk-in play, giving every booking an exclusive, private-club feel. Staff members operate all simulator equipment during events, so guests can focus on enjoying the experience without worrying about technical setup.

Simulator Technology

The facility houses two golf simulators and four Porsche racing simulators. The golf systems deliver realistic course play on a large-format display, while the racing rigs provide an immersive driving experience modeled after real-world circuits. Specific golf simulator hardware branding is not publicly listed; contact the venue for technical details.
