Charlotte’s Lower South End just picked up a new way to spend a night out. Tap In opened Wednesday in LoSo with nine high-tech indoor golf bays, a social putting green, and a full kitchen and bar designed for everything from casual hangs to corporate outings. The venue pairs tour-level simulator tech with a buzzy sports-bar vibe and marked its debut with an Opening Drive Golf Social on Wednesday evening that combined simulator play, music, and drinks while backing a local community cause.
What To Expect
Billing itself as Charlotte’s indoor golf and sports bar, Tap In offers tour-level simulators, lessons, leagues, and memberships for both individuals and corporate groups, according to Tap In's website. CLTtoday reports that the venue spans roughly 10,000 square feet and is organized around a central social putting green, with simulator bays along the sides, all laid out to handle parties, corporate events, and league nights.
Opening Drive Golf Social
The Opening Drive Golf Social ran Wednesday from 6 to 10 p.m., offering simulator golf, drinks, music, and social competition while supporting a community cause, as noted by WCNC. Tickets for the event were available through Eventbrite and on Tap In’s own calendar.
Owner: 'It's For Everyone'
For owner Miller Safrit, the pitch is less about perfect swings and more about a laid-back, game-night energy. “You don't have to know anything about golf to have a great time here, just come ready to enjoy yourself,” Safrit told WCNC, calling the concept “competitive, social, and all for a good cause.” That line sums up Tap In’s lane: tech-forward golf with a low barrier to entry and a steady stream of group-focused events.
Memberships, Pricing And Local Fit
Tap In offers memberships as well as mobile simulators for off-site activations, according to Tap In. The Opening Drive event listing also highlighted Truist Championship week programming, including golf challenges and big-screen viewing, as detailed on Eventbrite. Bays can be reserved by the hour at prices that vary, with local coverage citing hourly rates starting around $49 and membership options for frequent players, per CLTtoday. Sitting on Clanton Road in LoSo, the newcomer slots into Charlotte’s growing nightlife corridor and gives companies another pick for out-of-office team activities.
