Welcome to one of our most exciting transformations to date: turning a brand-new short-term rental at Serena Bay (located in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario) into an immersive, commercial-grade games room — anchored by a premium golf simulator experience.
With the buzz of Happy Gilmore 2 on the horizon, they wanted their space to capture that same blend of over-the-top fun and unforgettable golfing energy. Not just a simulator tucked in a corner — but a full-blown entertainment destination where guests could channel their inner Gilmore, smash a drive, and laugh with friends late into the night.
From that vision, we built out one of our boldest installations yet — a commercial-grade golf simulator setup wrapped in cottage-style comfort, designed to wow every guest that walks through the door.
The Vision
From the moment they walked through the space, the client knew exactly what they wanted:
Commercial-Grade & Guest-Ready
A polished, durable setup that could take a beating — yet invite casual fun. It needed to withstand high traffic, quick turnovers, and enthusiastic swing sessions.
Instant Access to Play
No complex startups or fiddly menus. Guests should be able to walk in, press a button, and be on the green in seconds.
Seamless Style
While this was a games room, it’s still a lakeside cottage. The tech had to feel integrated — sleek, not sterile.
Key Elements
1. Cutting-Edge, Guest-Friendly Tech
We installed the Uneekor Eye XO overhead launch monitor, chosen for its precision and intuitive touch interface — ideal for casual players and experienced golfers alike. A premium gaming PC powers everything, ensuring smooth graphics and reliability.
2. Plush Gameplay Surface
We laid 2 inches of rich, verdant turf that feels soft underfoot yet durable enough for repeated use. It adds texture and helps mute sound — while giving that authentic “tee time” vibe.
3. Custom Commercial Impact Screen
Carting in only the best, we partnered with Carl’s Place to fabricate a tailored, heavy-duty screen built for a commercial environment — durable, safe, and perfectly fitted to the room’s dimensions.
4. Studio-Grade Acoustics
To control noise (and errant golf balls), compressed acoustic panels—both sound-dampening and impact-safe—were installed. They cut echo, added comfort, and created a polished, professional atmosphere.
5. Brilliant Visual Performance
A BenQ AH700ST 4000 lumens projector ensures vivid, lifelike imagery — even in ambient light. Sharp visuals give guests that immersive simulator experience they’ll rave about.
6. Smooth Software & Interface
We chose GSPro for its gorgeous interface, varied game modes, and swift navigation. Perfect for guests who want to play now — not wrestle with menus.
The Transformation
The result? Hands down the coolest games room we’ve ever installed.
High Performance Meets Hospitality — It functions like a top-tier golf lounge, but feels warm and welcoming — exactly what an upscale Airbnb needs.
Built to Last, Built to Play — Every layer — from turf to tech — was chosen for durability without compromising on aesthetics or guest accessibility.
Guest Delight, Owner Pride — Visitors walk in, see the polished setup, and instantly feel invited. The seamless play experience becomes a highlight of their stay — and their stories later.
At Golf My Space, we’re not just installing simulators — we’re crafting unforgettable spaces that blend performance with personality. The Lakeside Links Lounge is proof that commercial-grade fun and cozy cottage charm can coexist beautifully.
Stay tuned for more installs where imagination meets innovation — and until next time, we’ll keep bringing the course to your doorstep.
