Big Swing Golf Cambridge Indoor Golf and Bar
The venue features high-technology simulators that bring real-time sports indoors. Alongside the gaming areas, there is a fully licensed bar and friendly venue hosts to help you get set up. It is a flexible layout that suits casual family catch-ups, children’s birthday parties, junior sports team celebrations, and school outings.
A major highlight for families is the multisport capability. It is not just for golf enthusiasts; the technology supports ten simulated sports games played with real equipment. Children and adults can test their skills at soccer penalty shootouts, an NFL quarterback challenge, baseball, rugby, basketball, cricket, and arcade-style games like zombie dodgeball.
To make a visit easier on the family budget, one child under 14 years old (with ID) can play for free when accompanied by a paying adult. The venue offers several structured packages to fit into a day of sightseeing or weekend downtime:
Quick Play (30 Mins): Includes 1 adult and 1 child for $24 AUD. It is a brief introduction with all equipment provided for free, allowing you to try the system without a large time commitment.
Favourite Parent (1 Hour): Designed for 1 adult and 2 children at $52 AUD, offering plenty of time to sample the different interactive sports.
Family Fun (1.5 Hours): Priced at $72 AUD for 2 adults and 1 child, this allows the group to try multiple games while food and drinks are available.
Family Plus (1.5 Hours): For $92 AUD, 2 adults and 1 child get the full sports simulator experience, plus a drink each and snacks, with the venue staff taking care of the cleanup afterwards.
The centre operates with extended hours most of the week, opening at 9:00 am Monday through Saturday, and 10:00 am on Sundays. It closes at 5:30 pm on Mondays, 5:00 pm on Saturdays, 4:00 pm on Sundays, and stays open late until 9:00 pm from Tuesday to Friday.
Indoor Golf
For those who want to focus strictly on golf, the simulators use high-speed object recognition technology to track the ball’s real flight, spin, and distance with no delay. You use real golf clubs and balls, seeing the results instantly on a large screen.
You can virtually tee off on more than 100 championship courses, including famous stops from the PGA Tour. Because there is no walking between holes or time spent searching for lost balls in the rough, a full 18-hole virtual game takes about half the time of a traditional outdoor round. The system also tracks club head speed, path, and face angle, providing immediate feedback for players looking to refine their technique.
If anyone in the family wants to improve their game properly, qualified teaching professionals are available on-site to provide expert coaching lessons. Whether you are holding a club for the first time or trying to fix a persistent slice, these sessions help build confidence and skill. Bookings can also be made online via their live availability system.
