Golf Lounge 18

About Golf Lounge 18

Golf Lounge 18 is a premium indoor golf and entertainment venue located in Braintree, Massachusetts — just south of Boston. Combining high-end golf simulators with a full-service bar, restaurant, and energetic social atmosphere, GL18 has quickly become one of the most popular indoor golf destinations on the South Shore.

Simulator Technology & Equipment

Golf Lounge 18 features Full Swing golf simulators — the same technology used by Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, and other PGA Tour pros for off-course practice. Key features include:

• Infrared optical tracking for precise ball flight measurement
• 100+ world-famous courses including St Andrews, Pebble Beach, Bethpage Black, and TPC Sawgrass
• Realistic course graphics with tournament-quality visuals
• Complete shot data — club speed, ball speed, spin, launch angle, carry, and total distance
• Multi-sport options — some bays also offer football, soccer, baseball, and hockey games

Each simulator bay features a spacious hitting area, premium turf, comfortable lounge seating, and a large projection screen. Bays accommodate up to 8 players, making them ideal for groups.

Food & Beverage

GL18 is as much a restaurant and bar as it is a golf facility:

• Full dinner menu with appetizers, burgers, flatbreads, salads, and entrees
• Craft cocktail program with signature drinks
• Extensive beer list featuring local craft breweries and national favorites
• Wine selection with options by the glass or bottle
• Late-night menu available on weekends
