Hey, Fresno friends! Golfers and entertainment lovers, this one’s for you. There’s a new spot in town, and trust me, you’re going to want to check it out. The Fairway Lounge, located next to Trader Joe’s in the Park Crossing shopping center (Friant and Fresno Street), just opened its doors, and it’s already making waves as the coolest new hangout. I snuck in early on a weekday during opening week to check it out and take some pictures just for you.
Here’s the scoop: The Fairway Lounge is a one-of-a-kind, indoor golf experience that’s perfect for everyone—whether you’re a scratch golfer, a total newbie, or just in it for the good vibes. They’ve got five semi-private and one private VIP golf simulator bays, each one equipped with cutting-edge tech that lets you play on some of the most beautiful courses in the world, right here in Fresno. Each bay fits up to six players, and at just $65 per hour, it’s a steal—especially if you’re splitting the cost with a group (that’s less than $11 per person!).
Not Just for Golf Pros
New to golf? No worries! The Fairway Lounge is super welcoming and even offers private lessons if you want to brush up on your swing. There’s also a camera-controlled simulated putting green where you can practice nailing those tricky putts.
And let’s talk about the pro shop for a second—they’ve got you covered with club fittings, shopping assistance, and everything you need to elevate your game.
Family-Friendly Fun
Here’s another big win: The Fairway Lounge is family-friendly! (Just steer clear of the bar seating if you’ve got kids in tow.) This makes it a great option for a family outing, whether you’re golfing a simulated course together or just trying out some of the fun target games. Bonus: you can (and should) reserve your bay online ahead of time, so you’re guaranteed a spot.
Delicious Eats & Drinks
Now, let’s talk food. The menu here is next-level. You’ll find everything from juicy burgers and flavorful flatbreads to Divot Fries (yes, that’s a thing) and crispy Jumbo Wings. Want something lighter? The Cucumber Bruschetta is fresh and zesty, and the Cheese Curds are pure indulgence. Pair it all with a refreshing drink, and you’ve got yourself a perfect day (or night) out.
Come for the Golf, Stay for the Vibes
The Fairway Lounge has an upscale yet inviting feel that makes it perfect for any occasion—whether it’s a casual hangout, date night, or even a team-building event. And since it’s fully indoor and climate-controlled, you can enjoy it no matter what Fresno’s weather throws our way.
When and Where
Ready to check it out? They’re open 8 AM to 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and 8 AM to midnight Friday and Saturday. Head over to The Fairway Lounge, grab your crew, and get ready for some serious fun. Whether you’re hitting the virtual fairways or just enjoying the food and atmosphere, this place is a total hole-in-one. 😉
