Start With Your Group Size and Goal
Weekend golf plans work best when the rental matches the group. A few friends may want an hour of practice or quick competition. A larger party may need several bays, extra seating, food, and more time to rotate through games.
At 9Yards Golf Course Simulators of Pittsburgh, PA, we offer indoor golf options for casual groups, family outings, celebrations, and repeat players. The right choice depends on attendance, timing, and whether the group prefers serious golf, arcade-style fun, or both.
Hourly Rentals Fit Smaller Groups
Hourly public rentals are a practical choice for smaller weekend groups. Friends will share a simulator, play a short format, work through practice modes, or compete in quick games without planning a full event.
A group may use the driving range, approach practice, or putting modes before starting a virtual round. Others may choose stroke play, scramble, Stableford, skins, or Las Vegas formats.
Weekend times often draw more groups, so booking ahead will help secure a preferred time and enough space.
Multiple Bays Keep Larger Groups Moving
Larger groups will usually benefit from reserving multiple simulators. Multiple bays reduce waiting and allow guests to split into teams. One group may play a virtual course, while another may try arcade games or a skills challenge.
Golfzon offers more than 240 virtual courses and several play styles, so the outing will not feel repetitive. Groups may rotate between serious competition and lighter games depending on experience and mood.
This setup suits birthdays, family gatherings, friend groups, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and informal company outings.
Private Event Options Add Structure
A private group setup may be the better choice when the outing needs dedicated space, added seating, or a planned schedule. Private events give hosts more control over how guests move between golf, food, conversation, and other activities.
Our team will help organize the experience around group size and goals. A host may plan team contests, open play, a small tournament, or a simple rotation where everyone gets time in the bay.
Private options also work well when non-golfers attend. Guests will have room to watch, talk, eat, and join games when they feel comfortable.
Memberships Suit Recurring Weekend Players
Groups who meet often may find a membership more practical than separate rentals every weekend. Memberships include monthly simulator tokens, online booking, one guest per hour, free play for children under 14, and food and drink discounts.
This option makes sense for frequent golfers who already know they will use the hours. Tokens reset each billing cycle, so members get the most value by keeping a regular schedule.
Food, Drinks, and Technology Complete the Outing
Weekend group play should feel like more than a practice session. Our lounge atmosphere gives guests a place to relax between turns while enjoying food, drinks, and conversation.
Golfzon TwoVision technology adds realism through moving swing plates, multi-surface mats, putting sensors, auto-tee systems, and slow-motion swing playback. Serious golfers will appreciate the feedback, while casual players will enjoy accessible games and friendly challenges.
Choose the Right Weekend Rental
The best rental depends on the group. Small parties may only need an hourly bay. Larger groups may prefer multiple simulators or private event space. Frequent players may gain more value through a membership.
Contact us before your weekend outing so we can help match the group with the right simulator time, setup, and style of play.
