Outdoor courses around Dayton are closed or unplayable for most of the winter due to frozen and snow-covered turf. The Perch, an indoor golf simulator facility in Beavercreek, stays open 24/7 through the winter, letting you play real courses virtually and keep your game sharp all season.
Why Outdoor Courses Close for the Winter
Frozen ground and snow cover make outdoor play both impractical and damaging to the course itself, which is why most outdoor facilities in the area shut down or limit play for several months each year.
Indoor Golf Simulators Fill the Gap
The Perch runs the ProTee VX simulator in every bay, an overhead camera system accurate enough for real instruction, loaded with real, well-known golf courses to play virtually regardless of the weather outside.
What You Can Actually Do Indoors
- Play a full 18-hole round virtually, solo or with a group
- Book a lesson or club fitting with the on-site PGA professional
- Join the Winter League, a 2-man scramble running December 1 through March 2
Booking a Winter Session
Since the facility runs 24/7, there's no seasonal schedule to work around. A membership's priority booking window makes it easy to lock in a consistent time slot for the whole winter if you're playing regularly.
