Prior Lake's Indoor Golf Season Starts at North 9
The sun's setting earlier and the local courses will be closing up shop before you know it. If you're in Prior Lake, MN and not ready to hang up the clubs for six months, this is the time of year North 9 Golf Lounge really earns its keep.
Daylight is shrinking, your season doesn't have to
By late September, you're lucky to get nine holes in after work before it's too dark to find your ball. That's not a problem inside our bay. Same swing, same ball flight data, just no sunset clock running against you.
This is usually when we see a shift in who's coming through the door. Folks who played outdoor courses all summer start treating North 9 as their winter home course instead of an occasional rainy-day stop.
One bay, and that's on purpose
North 9 runs a single simulator bay. That's not a limitation, it's the whole point. It keeps things personal, it means the space is never split up or rushed, and it's why regulars tend to book the same time slot week to week.
The tradeoff is that we don't have five bays to shuffle people through. As fall booking picks up, especially evenings and weekends, that one bay fills up faster than you'd think.
Good to know
With only one bay in the building, fall evening and weekend slots go first. If you've got a standing game with a buddy or a group outing in mind, lock in your time now rather than a week out.
How a visit actually works
You book the bay, you show up, you play. No pro shop line, no waiting for a tee time to open up. It's you and whoever you brought, for the time you booked.
If you'd rather make it a regular thing instead of one-off visits, we run a few membership options — the Eagle Founding Membership at $199/mo is the entry point, with Eagle at $219/mo, Birdie at $259/mo, and a no-commitment Par plan at $299/mo for anyone who wants flexibility without locking in monthly. Worth a look if fall turns into a weekly habit.
Prior Lake without the weather excuse
Minnesota falls are short and the drop into real winter comes fast. Once the local courses close for the season, North 9 becomes one of the few places in Prior Lake where you can still swing a club indoors instead of just watching golf on TV.
Whether you're working on a swing change before next spring or just don't want three months off from golf, now's the window to get in the rhythm before the calendar fills up with holiday plans.
Good to know
Do I need to bring my own clubs?
Bring your own set if you've got one — most golfers do. If you're not sure what to bring, just mention it when you book and we'll help you sort it out.
How many people can play in the bay at once?
A small group can share a bay comfortably, taking turns hitting while everyone else watches the screen and talks trash. It works well for two or three golfers, less so for a big party since there's only the one bay.
How long does a round take indoors?
A full 18 holes on a simulator usually moves faster than walking an actual course, often somewhere around an hour to ninety minutes depending on how many people are playing.
Book a bay online or give us a call to grab your spot before fall fills the schedule. We're in Prior Lake, MN, and we'd rather see you swinging inside than sitting out the offseason.
