“Golf-X is set to revolutionise Ayr’s social scene, bringing a completely new and exciting entertainment experience to the area,” Mr Simeone said. “We wanted to create a venue that blends cutting-edge sports technology with a vibrant, social atmosphere – something that simply doesn’t exist here yet.”
The venue is due to open on April 12 with an “extensive” bar menu and 40-cover restaurant. Live sports will be broadcast via multiple screens.
“We’ve created a really unique space which we believe people in Ayrshire are really going to enjoy, whether they are avid sports fans or are just out for a social gathering with friends,” Mr Simeone continued.
“Our golf simulators seat up to ten people, while our dart bays can host up to six, so whether you want to come along and perfect your skills or simply have a great time with your friends over some brilliant food and drinks, then this will be the place to be.”
He added: “We believe Golf-X is really going to be a gamechanger for Ayrshire and beyond.
“People are looking for something different when they go out now. They want more than just a meal or a few drinks – they want an experience.
“Golf-X is all about giving people a new way to socialise, whether that’s through a round of virtual golf, a game of interactive darts, or just enjoying great food and drinks in a buzzing atmosphere.
“We’re bringing something totally fresh that’s going to transform the social scene in Ayr, and we can’t wait for people to come and experience it for themselves.”
