The short game accounts for roughly 60% of your total golf shots, yet most golfers spend the majority of their practice time on the driving range. An indoor short game facility offers the perfect solution to focus on the shots that matter most. Weather conditions, daylight hours, and seasonal limitations no longer dictate when you can work on your putting, chipping, and pitching skills.
Professional golfers understand that scoring happens within 100 yards of the pin. Tour players dedicate significant portions of their practice time to short game development because they recognize its direct impact on scoring. Amateur golfers can achieve similar results by prioritizing indoor short game practice in a controlled, professional environment.

Each facility offers unique features tailored to different aspects of indoor short game training. This specialized approach allows golfers to focus on specific weaknesses while developing overall short game proficiency in optimal conditions.

The Highland Park location offers unparalleled indoor short game training opportunities with features that rival the world’s best golf courses:
- Multiple contoured green complex running 11 on the Stimpmeter for authentic putting practice

The Lisle location brings a unique Scottish flavor to indoor short game practice with its impressive St. Andrews-themed design:
- 4,600 square feet of practice space featuring authentic St. Andrews styling and layout

Master Your Indoor Chipping Practice
Consistent Practice Conditions
Indoor chipping practice provides distinct advantages over outdoor sessions. Consistent lie conditions allow golfers to focus purely on technique without variables like wind, moisture, or uneven ground affecting ball flight and roll.
The controlled environment enables precise feedback on ball-striking quality. Players can immediately identify whether poor results stem from technique flaws rather than external conditions. This accelerated learning process helps golfers develop muscle memory faster than traditional outdoor practice.
Focused Skill Development
Repetition becomes more meaningful when conditions remain constant. Golfers can practice the same shot repeatedly, making small adjustments and seeing immediate results without weather interference. This focused approach builds confidence and consistency.
Perfect Your Indoor Putting Practice
Year-Round Accessibility
Indoor putting practice offers unique benefits that outdoor greens cannot match. Consistent green speeds allow golfers to develop true distance control and learn to read subtle breaks without grain or wind influence.
The ability to practice during any weather condition means maintaining putting rhythm throughout the year. Regular practice frequency directly correlates to improved putting performance, making indoor access invaluable for serious golfers.
Pressure Practice Development
Pressure practice becomes more effective indoors. Golfers can create specific scenarios and practice them repeatedly without time constraints or weather interruptions. This focused approach builds confidence for real on-course situations and develops mental toughness.
Year-Round Short Game Development
Indoor short game training eliminates seasonal limitations that plague most golfers. Winter months no longer mean skill deterioration or months away from meaningful practice. Consistent access ensures continuous improvement regardless of outdoor conditions.
The ability to practice during peak convenience hours, rather than being limited to daylight or favorable weather, maximizes practice efficiency. Golfers can maintain regular practice schedules that fit their busy lifestyles while making steady progress.
Indoor facilities also provide ideal environments for lesson instruction. Teaching professionals can focus on technique without weather distractions, leading to more effective learning sessions and faster skill development. Video analysis becomes more practical in controlled lighting conditions.
