Indoor Golf in Toronto: The Complete Guide to Playing & Practicing golf downtown
Updated: 18 hours ago
Looking to play golf in Toronto?
Whether you're a serious golfer looking to sharpen your game, a beginner picking up a club for the first time, or simply looking for a better way to fit golf into your schedule, indoor golf gives you a completely different way to experience the game.
For Toronto golfers, there's an even bigger advantage: you don't have to leave the city to play!
Many of Ontario's best golf courses are located well outside downtown Toronto. Depending on where you're playing, getting to the course can mean an hour or two of driving each way, significant traffic, an early morning start and an entire day dedicated to golf. For courses further north, a round can even become a weekend commitment.
6ix Iron was created to solve that problem.
Indoor golf works whether you've never picked up a club or you're chasing a lower handicap. Beginners get a low-pressure way to learn the game at their own pace, while regular players get TrackMan data and coaching to sharpen specific parts of their game, all just minutes from home or the office.
This complete guide covers everything you need to know about indoor golf in Toronto:

How Does a Golf Simulator Work?
A golf simulator allows you to play and practice golf indoors by tracking your real golf shots and recreating the experience on a large screen.
At 6ix Iron, our premium golf simulator bays use TrackMan iO technology to capture detailed information about your shots and provide immediate feedback.
Depending on how you're using the simulator, you can see information such as:
Club speed
Ball speed
Carry distance
Total distance
Launch angle
Spin rate
Club path
Face angle
Attack angle
You don't need to understand all of these numbers to enjoy indoor golf. You can simply choose a course, grab your clubs and play.
For golfers who want to improve, however, the data can completely change how they practice.
That combination works no matter where you're starting from. You can start with the basics, get comfortable with your swing and see how your shots behave, or use TrackMan's feedback to identify patterns, measure progress and build focused practice sessions with our Swing Analysis video software to start shooting lower scores.
Indoor Golf vs. Driving Range vs. Playing Outside
The biggest advantage of indoor golf in Toronto isn't that it replaces the golf course.
It's that you don't have to leave downtown Toronto to play.
For many golfers, getting to the golf course is the hardest part of playing golf.
Most traditional golf courses are located well outside the downtown core.
Depending on your destination and traffic conditions, a round can involve:
One to three hours of driving each way
The nightmare we all know of Toronto traffic
Leaving home extremely early for a morning tee time
Spending an entire day on one round
Getting home late in the evening
Planning an overnight trip for courses further north
The golf itself might only take four hours.
But golf day can take eight, ten or even more.
That's where indoor golf changes the equation.
Indoor Golf in Toronto
At 6ix Iron, you can play golf in the heart of Toronto without spending hours in the car.
Indoor golf gives you:
Convenient downtown access
Flexible booking times
No travel outside the city
No weather cancellations
Immediate shot feedback
Virtual golf courses
Dedicated practice environments
The ability to play before or after work
A social environment for playing with friends
You can walk into 6ix Iron, play for an hour or two, and get on with the rest of your day.
Driving Range
A driving range is excellent when you want to hit balls and work on your swing.
But you're generally limited to the range itself. You aren't playing a full round, and you may not have access to the same level of shot tracking and analysis available through a TrackMan-powered golf simulator.
Playing Golf Outside
Nothing completely replaces playing a real golf course.
Outdoor golf gives you wind, changing weather, uneven lies, course conditions and the mental challenge of navigating an actual course.
But you don't always have four to six hours — plus travel — available.
Indoor golf gives Toronto golfers another option.
You should be playing Indoor golf to dial in your game downtown.
So that your outdoor golf will improve and you start shooting your lowest scores ever!
Indoor golf lets you fit more golf into your week without committing an entire day to travel. You can learn the basics and get comfortable before your first outdoor round, or fit a focused practice session in before work, after work or on a free evening, building the kind of consistent reps that make a real difference on the course.
Why Play Indoor Golf in Downtown Toronto?
For 6ix Iron, location isn't simply a convenience.
It's the reason we exist.
Toronto has a huge golfing community, but many of the city's traditional golf courses are located outside the downtown core.
You might not have time for:
90 minutes of driving + four hours of golf + 90 minutes of driving.
6ix Iron changes that equation by bringing premium indoor golf directly into Toronto.
6ix Iron Downtown
142 George Street
Our Downtown Toronto golf simulator facility is located in Old Toronto, just blocks east of Yonge Street, and is open 24/7.
That means you can play when it works for your schedule:
Early morning before work
During the afternoon
After work
Late at night
On weekends
Golf doesn't have to revolve around finding a tee time weeks in advance.
6ix Iron Yorkville
146 Dupont Street
Our Yorkville location is just a few minutes north of Bloor Street West, providing another convenient option for golfers looking for indoor golf in central Toronto.
Both locations offer premium simulator bays, TrackMan technology and a social environment designed around the modern golf experience.
Convenient downtown locations mean more opportunities to play, however you play. Grab a friend, bring a date or drop in solo to discover the game at your own pace, or fit meaningful practice into your normal week without the commute. Even one extra session a week adds up to hours of dialled-in practice a month.
How Much Does Indoor Golf Cost in Toronto?
One of the advantages of indoor golf is that you it's budget friendly and you don't need a private membership to play.
At 6ix Iron, you book simulator time by the bay.
Current 6ix Iron Rates
Bay Type | Non-Peak | Peak |
Open Bay | $35/hour | $45/hour |
Private Bay | $45/hour | $55/hour |
Peak and non-peak pricing depends on the day and time of your booking.
With up to four players sharing a bay, indoor golf can also be a cost-effective way to spend time with friends.
For golfers who play regularly, 6ix Iron offers memberships and virtual credit packages that provide additional value for frequent play.
You don't need to commit to a full day of golf, or a membership, to try it. Complimentary clubs mean you can book an hour and see if you enjoy it. And if you end up playing regularly, a membership makes it easy to build indoor golf into your weekly routine, working on swing mechanics during the week and taking it to the course on weekends.
What Can You Do at a Golf Simulator?
A golf simulator session doesn't have to mean playing 18 holes.
At 6ix Iron, you can use your bay however you want.
Play a Full Round
Choose from virtual golf courses and play a complete round without leaving Toronto.
You can experience famous courses around the world without booking a flight or spending your weekend on the road.

Start with a few shots, try different game modes and learn at your own pace, or set a goal, track your numbers and use the data to see whether your practice is actually working. Join our downtown scramble league if you're looking to compete and connect with other golfers.
Is Indoor Golf Good for Beginners?
Absolutely.
You don't need to be an experienced golfer to use a golf simulator.
In fact, indoor golf can be one of the most approachable ways to start playing.
At 6ix Iron, you can learn, experiment and play at your own pace.
Complimentary men's and women's golf clubs are also available for guests who don't have their own equipment.
You don't need a handicap.
You don't need your own clubs.
And you certainly don't need years of experience.
A simulator gives you a comfortable place to learn without worrying about holding up a group on a busy course, and the same technology that makes it approachable for beginners makes it powerful for experienced players. Use TrackMan data, structured practice and professional coaching to work on specific areas of your game and start bringing your handicap down.
What Should You Bring to 6ix Iron?
Not much.
If you have your own clubs, bring them.
If you don't, complimentary men's and women's clubs are available at 6ix Iron.
For your first visit, we'd recommend:
Comfortable clothing
Comfortable footwear or golf shoes
Your own clubs, if you have them
A friend or two if you're playing socially
You don't need a full golf outfit.
You don't need a handicap.
You don't need to know every rule of golf.
Just show up ready to play.
If you don't have clubs, complimentary men's and women's sets are available, just show up in comfortable clothing and we'll take care of the rest. If you bring your own, your carry distances and swing data are saved to your own profile, and our Video Swing Analysis helps you see exactly what's working and what isn't.
Can You Play Indoor Golf With Friends?
Yes — and you don't have to take golf seriously to have a great time.
A simulator bay gives your group a dedicated space to play, compete and socialise.
You can play a traditional round, create your own competition or try different simulator games and challenges.
Everyone can participate regardless of their skill level.
Playing with a group is a great way to start out, it's become a go-to date night and first-date spot, so bring a friend or a date and don't forget to tag @6ixiron in your stories. If you're looking for more of a challenge, turn the session into a real 18-hole stroke play and see how your scores hold up when the pressure is on.
Can You Host a Private Event at 6ix Iron?
Absolutely.
Indoor golf provides a unique alternative to the standard Toronto dinner, bar or corporate event.
6ix Iron can accommodate private experiences including:
Corporate events
Team-building events
Client entertainment
Birthday celebrations
Social events
Golf tournaments
Group outings
The best part?
Your guests don't have to be serious golfers.
Experienced golfers can compete while beginners can play casually and enjoy the social experience.
Events work well precisely because your guests don't need any golf experience, most people are first-timers, so there's no pressure and plenty of laughs, and a lot of regular golfers got their start at exactly this kind of event. They're also a great way to combine a social night out with some friendly competition, and a chance to show off your game outside of an actual golf course.
