A new indoor golf destination is opening its doors in East Sacramento on Saturday, promising high-tech simulator bays, a putting green, and a clubhouse vibe for golfers of every skill level. That'll Play Golf Club sits at 7324 Folsom Blvd., Suite E, a spot the business says is designed to make the sport more accessible, flexible, and fun for players who might never set foot on a traditional course.
The venue holds its grand opening Saturday, with the East Sacramento Chamber of Commerce hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the occasion, according to KCRA. The club is located on Folsom Boulevard near Sacramento State. According to That'll Play Golf Club, the facility will operate daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Simulators, Private Rooms, and a Putting Green
The club's centerpiece is TrackMan iO simulator technology, which KCRA's reporting says delivers feedback on swings, ball flight, club performance, and shot distances. The system uses ceiling-mounted optically enhanced radar tracking that blends radar, infrared, and high-speed cameras to capture 3D spin and shot data without any hardware on the floor, per Trackman's own product details. That overhead setup keeps the hitting mat clear.
The layout includes two open simulator bays plus two enclosed private rooms that can each hold groups of up to six people, the station's report notes. There's also a WellPutt putting green on site, built for alignment drills, distance control work, and putting games. Players can tee off virtually on hundreds of courses or test their nerve in closest-to-the-pin competitions, with sessions starting at 30 minutes, according to the same account.
Built for Sacramento's Weather Swings
Because everything happens indoors, members and drop-in players can practice and play regardless of outdoor weather conditions.
The broader numbers help explain why spots like this keep popping up around the region. A record 47.2 million Americans played golf in 2024, and 36.2 million of them did it off-course, through simulators and golf entertainment venues, outpacing traditional on-course play for a third straight year, according to Divotloft. Off-course participation grew 10 percent year-over-year in 2024 based on National Golf Foundation data cited in that report, and the format is drawing a different crowd than the country-club set: women make up 43 percent of off-course participants.
Local Businesses Already Teeing It Up
Midtown restaurant Adamo's also used the venue for a staff outing earlier this month, an early sign that local employers are already treating the club as a team-building spot.
The business model behind these lounges tends to pencil out quickly. Commercial golf simulator operators typically see positive returns within an average of seven months, and 80 percent turn profitable within their first year, according to an April 2025 National Golf Foundation white paper referenced by Mordor Intelligence. Year-round demand and space are also considerations for the sector.
A Crowded Field Across the Region
That'll Play's simulator technology and social lounge features leave open the question of how a newcomer on Folsom Boulevard will stand out.
Hoodline has covered the region's expanding golf-adjacent hospitality scene before, including the women-owned clubhouse that opened inside WildHawk Golf Club. That'll Play's pitch is simpler: a club built from the ground up for people of all skill levels, offering what KCRA describes as high-tech practice, virtual rounds, and a welcoming clubhouse atmosphere under one Folsom Boulevard roof.
