The Bunker Indoor Golf

By Brad Parrott

Looking to keep your competitive edge, feed your desire for competition, or just want to hit some golf balls in a controlled environment? The Bunker Indoor Golf Center located in Minnetonka is your answer.

Open since 1997, The Bunker Indoor Golf Center offers 12 Full Swing golf simulators with 40 courses, which they are currently updating to 80 courses. It doesn’t just end with the simulators; The Bunker offers pretty much anything a golfer can ask for, especially during the off-season.

Looking to continue league play during the winter, there are in-house leagues, corporate leagues, or even floating leagues where you can play any time you wish. Have a regular group of people you play with, not a problem. You can set up your own league or even hold a tournament event.

They did not stop there. They also offer live scoring for your league or event. In between shots during the round, a live scoreboard can pop up on your screen showing exactly where you stand in the competition.

Not looking for the excitement of competition but just want to get out, relax and hit some balls with some friends, they have you covered there also. Each simulator has a high definition flat screen TV where televised sports can be watched keeping you up to date with your favorite team during your round. Another nice and a little unusual feature they offer are speaker hook ups as well as speakers both inside and outside the simulator. Plug in your phone, iPod, or your MP3 player and play your favorite tunes while swinging away.

To make sure you maintain your strength during your round, there is also a full snack bar and lounge where you can sit down either before or after your round to relax and unwind.

If you are looking to improve your game, The Bunker offers both lessons as well as club fitting and stocks the latest TaylorMade equipment. Take a quick lesson, get fitted with the new TaylorMade irons, fine tune your swing on a driving range in the simulator, then take all your golf partners money come next spring.

Don’t forget about the upcoming holidays. While supplies last, The Bunker Indoor Golf Center is offering 50% off all of their apparel. They stock TaylorMade, Ashworth, as well as Adidas. Stop in, pick up a gift certificate to give a friend, then grab a new shirt for yourself insuring you not only play well, but you also look great.
