First look inside virtual golf centre in Washington which is set to open its doors for the first time on April 12

The Virtual Golf Centre is set to open for the first time when coronavirus restrictions ease on April 12, giving golfers a unique simulated experience, the chance to play any course in the world, enjoy some games or visit a driving range.

The business is being launched by Washington couple Emma Watkins, 39 and John Briggs, 40, who have always dreamed of starting their own business together.

First look pictures inside the new venture show off the simulated experience, which will be family friendly and open to all levels of golfing ability.

Director of The Virtual Golf Centre, Emma, said: “The finishing touches are all complete at The Virtual Golf Centre. We are ready to open our doors on the 12th April.

“I can’t wait to get going and see what people think. We want it to be a completely unique experience.”

Since announcing the opening, the couple has been overwhelmed by the positive reaction from the community and have been inundated with bookings from people keen to see what the experience has to offer.

In the coming months as coronavirus restrictions are lifted, Emma and John are making plans to offer even more for the virtual experience, including children’s parties, corporate events and an expanded lounge area.

The Virtual Golf Centre, which is based at Swan Industrial Estate, is set to open on April 12 and bookings can be made online.
