Indoor Golf in Duluth: Your Complete 2026 Guide to Local Simulator Options

Written By Aaron Gorman

In the Northland, golf season is short — and indoor golf has become an essential way for Duluth golfers to train, compete, and stay connected through the long winter months. Duluth now offers several strong indoor-golf venues, each with its own strengths, technology, and atmosphere.

This guide covers everything you need to know (and nothing you don’t) about the public indoor golf options available in Duluth. We focus on technology, pricing, experience, and who each venue is best for. For details on food, leagues, or special events, we encourage you to reach out to each establishment directly.

Club One Under

Located in the basement of the Fitger’s complex near downtown Duluth, Club One Under blends indoor golf with a full sports bar experience. Guests can enjoy drinks and frozen pizzas while playing on Full Swing Golf simulators—a widely recognized entertainment-focused simulator brand.

Full Swing uses a hybrid radar-and-camera tracking system that produces smooth, believable ball flights on full swings. The interface is easy to use, making it popular for group outings, casual rounds, and winter leagues. However, its short-game accuracy—especially chips, pitches, and putting—tends to feel less realistic than modern training-oriented systems.

Full Swing Golf — Pros & Cons

⭐ Pros

  • Fun visuals; easy for beginners

  • Great for groups, leagues, and social nights

  • Smooth, believable ball flights

⚠️ Cons

  • Accuracy can be inconsistent, especially indoors

  • Short game feels more “video game” than real golf

  • Calibration varies from bay to bay

Pricing

  • $50/hr standard

  • $35/hr weekdays 10am–3pm

  • $349/mo membership (up to 2 hours/day, subject to availability)

Club One Under isn’t the cheapest option in town, but golfers often pay for the convenience and lively bar atmosphere.

The Caddy Shack Indoor Golf & Pub

Located in Duluth’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, The Caddy Shack is the city’s longest-standing indoor golf option. Established in 2017, it blends a traditional pub experience with private simulator bays and regular live music events.

Caddy Shack uses HD Golf technology—a camera-only system recognizable for its panoramic screen visuals and photo-realistic course renderings. Many golfers enjoy the immersive visuals and simplicity, though HD Golf’s camera system can struggle with modern accuracy expectations, particularly in the short game and spin measurement.

HD Golf — Pros & Cons

⭐ Pros

  • Good panoramic visuals

  • Simple and easy for casual rounds

  • Good full-swing experience

⚠️ Cons

  • Outdated tracking technology

  • Limited realism in chipping and putting

  • Less consistent than radar-camera hybrids

Pricing

  • $100/hr (premium simulator)

  • $50/hr (standard simulators)

Caddy Shack remains a local favorite for recreational winter golf, group outings, and anyone who enjoys a classic bar atmosphere.

The Golf Cooperative

The newest entrant to Duluth’s indoor golf scene, The Golf Cooperative, offers a modern, community-driven alternative built around accuracy, training, and affordability. Volunteers primarily run the facility, which offers tee times for both the public and members. In fact, upon joining, members receive key fobs granting them unlimited 24/7 access to the facility.

The cooperative model reinvests surpluses into upgraded technology, improved amenities, and potential future dividends for members. It’s the first model of its kind in golf and aims to deliver value to members instead of extracting profits from them.

The Golf Cooperative uses Trackman iO, Trackman’s newest indoor tracking system. Compared to older camera-only systems, Trackman iO delivers exceptional accuracy, elite short-game performance, and the industry’s most polished virtual-golf software suite. Indoors—where radar systems sometimes struggle—the iO’s multi-sensor camera array offers consistency and realism that serious golfers value.

Trackman iO — Pros & Cons

⭐ Pros

  • Elite accuracy: ball speed, spin, launch, curvature

  • Best-in-class short-game realism

  • Industry-leading virtual golf software

  • Clean overhead installation with no floor hardware

⚠️ Cons

  • Fewer club metrics than outdoor Trackman 4

  • Higher cost than mid-range simulators

  • Requires proper lighting and ceiling height

Pricing

  • $40/hr public tee times

  • Monthly memberships ($110/mo, 24/7 access)

  • 3-month memberships ($200/mo, 24/7 access)

  • Annual memberships (24/7 access; as low as $85/mo when paid annually)

The Golf Cooperative blends a modern club atmosphere with a strong sense of community, powered by Trackman’s industry-leading technology for golfers focused on real game improvement.
