I am NOT a golfer. But I know enough of them to know that golfers are a passionate breed; most of them would choose to be out on the links every day if it weren’t for annoyances like full-time jobs, caring for a home, or, like, six inches of snow. So the fact that a brand new indoor golf simulator is opening up just west of the village is happy news for Webster golfers, especially at this time of year.
The new Eagle’s Nest Golf Lounge, owned and operated by Kurt Johnson, is located in the Jackson Square plaza at 1170 Ridge Rd. (next door to Heart to Heart Bride). It provides immersive, state-of-the-art sports and gaming simulators for enthusiasts, families, friends, office mates and clients. It features high-end Trackman simulators which use advanced radar and camera technology to present a surprisingly realistic golfing experience. In addition to ball trajectory and distance, it measures club and ball speed, launch angle, smash factor, spin rate, attack angle, club path and more, and offers players more than 500 different courses from all around the world.
Eagle’s Nest has two separate 15 x 20-foot bays, and a lounge area where you can relax while you wait for your tee time or chat with your friends during an office gathering or football watch party. Its two private, sectioned-off bays make the facility stand out from some other golf simulators in the area. Once you close the door, the space is yours. You have a quiet, more personal area for your foursome — or you and your instructor — without distractions from other players next to you or in the hallway.
Kurt is well known in and around Webster, in large part through his lawn and garden business and extended stint as a bartender at Flaherty’s on Bay Rd. He’s also a long-time Webster resident, so establishing his new business somewhere in Webster was a priority for him. The former Rochester Speech and Hearing location turned out to be perfect. It took a lot of work to transform the office and clinical space into a state-of-the-art golf simulator, but it’s just about ready, and Kurt hopes to open within the next several days.
The first few days, Kurt will probably be personally welcoming patrons, but once the lounge is up and running, it will become a completely automated, self-service facility. Golfers can book tee times from 5 a.m. through midnight every day and pay for them through the Eagle’s Nest website or the Trackman Golf app. Then you’ll get an email and text with a code for the front door and a second one to get into the computers. When your allotted time is about to expire, a warning will pop up on the screen.
I’m guessing the Eagle’s Nest Sports Lounge is going to be a hot spot for golfers this winter, especially with the cold and snow already settling in. And if you’re not a golfer yourself but have one on your gift list, Kurt’s got you covered with gift certificates.
