What is ParSims?

And Why We’re Betting Big on Neighborhood Golf

You’ve probably seen them online. A buddy with a sim in his garage. Someone posting their basement setup complete with a sim. A backyard shed turned golf sanctuary.

To the people who own them, these simulators are more than just toys. They’re the most convenient, flexible way to stay connected to the game. And now, what used to be a luxury only the ultra-wealthy could afford is turning into something else entirely:

A smarter, more accessible way to play golf—right in your neighborhood.

We started ParSims because we believe in that shift. Golf is changing. We’re building the platform to help more people play, practice, and connect—year-round, without needing to fight for a tee time, be a member of a country club, or own a simulator.

The Problem: It’s Hard to Play This Game

Let’s be real. For most of us, playing 18 holes isn’t easy.

Tee times are booked solid. Courses are expensive. Weather doesn’t care about your weekends. And if you’ve got kids, a job, or—let’s face it—a life, finding 5+ hours for a round just doesn’t happen like it used to.

Indoor golf simulators fix a lot of that.

You can play Pebble at midnight.
You can work on your wedges over lunch.
You can invite friends over for a quick 9 without ever leaving your neighborhood.

The tech is legit. The ball flight is accurate. You’re not giving anything up—except the hassle.

But here’s the rub: most sim access today falls into two buckets:

Private setups – If you know a guy, you’re in.
Commercial sims – $60/hour, crowded, or require expensive memberships.

That’s the gap ParSims fills.

So What is ParSims?

ParSims is a platform that connects golfers with local, privately-owned simulator spaces—and helps sim owners host players and earn money by sharing their setup.

If you’ve got a sim in your garage or basement, you can list it on ParSims, set your availability, and earn from it.

If you’re a golfer, you can find nearby spaces and book time—no memberships, no commitments, no BS.

It’s like Airbnb, but for golf. Built by golfers, for golfers.

Why Neighborhood Sims Just Make Sense

Golf isn’t just a game. It’s a ritual. A release. A way to stay sharp and stay sane.

But modern life demands flexibility. That’s why more players are turning to local sims—and why the ParSims model works:

It’s affordable. Most sessions are $20–$40/hour. Split with a buddy? That’s less than a bucket.
It’s flexible. Play before work. After dinner. Whenever you want.
It’s personal. Each sim is different—some are tour-ready studios, some are DIY dens. All of them feel real.
It builds community. You're not just booking a screen. You’re connecting with people who love the game like you do.

This isn’t about disrupting golf. It’s about making it playable again.

Who ParSims is For

ParSims is for the golfer who:

Doesn’t have time for 18, but still wants to swing
Loves the game, but not the price of playing it
Is tired of tee sheet traffic or getting rained out
Wants to introduce friends, kids, or coworkers to golf in a no-pressure setting
Has a sim and wants to share it—or let it pay for itself

Whether you’re a scratch player or just picking up a club, this is golf on your terms.

The Vision: A Sim in Every Neighborhood

We’re building this one host at a time. One garage. One studio. One booking.

But we’re thinking bigger.

We see a world where every town has a few neighborhood sims. Owned by locals. Accessible. Affordable. Welcoming.

Golf doesn’t have to be exclusive. It should be everywhere. And ParSims is here to help make that happen.

One Last Thing

We love this game. But we love what it can become even more.

Golf should fit your life—not demand that you rearrange it. It should be social. Convenient. Local. Something you can do on a Tuesday night with your neighbor—not just once a month if the weather holds.

That’s why we’re building ParSims.

And we’d love to have you be part of it.
