Frequently Asked Questions
What is golfing on a simulator like?
Golfing on our top of the line simulators is very much like real golf. You use normal clubs and balls, and as you hit your shot into our beautiful 17 foot wide screens, 3 seperate layers of smart cameras work with industry leading technology to accurately replicate the shot. FULLSWING simulators offer unparalleled realism and accuracy. No other simulation technology or indoor launch monitor can measure ball flight characteristics more accurately or rapidly. This is the simulator Tiger uses... he's pretty good.
How long does it take to play?
2 players = 1.5 hours to 2 hours
4 players = 3 hours to 3.5 hours

What should I wear?
Wear whatever you’d be comfortable golfing or throwing a football in. We have found that clean running shoes make the best footwear for this experience. If you do bring your golf shoes, please be sure they are free of dirt/debris before wearing them in the hitting bays.
Do I have to be good at golf?
Absolutely not! This venue was created for anyone & everyone in an effort to make the game of golf more accessible, affordable, and entertaining for every player. For those interested in something more casual, try our MultiSport modes. Our MultiSport software brings a new level of interactive gameplay to your simulator experience. Compete against the computer or go head-to-head against your friends in over 13 interactive experiences that are sure to get your heart pounding.
What MultiSport games are there?
Does Iron & Wood host private corporate groups & events?
Yes, we pride ourselves on being the perfect fit for your next group outing or private get together. Each hitting bay is completely private and can accommodate up to 4 people per room or the entire venue can handle larger group sizes. Please contact us for further details as there are restrictions on group sizes due to COVID-19.
Can I buy a gift card?
Big time! They can be purchased in any denomination and picked up at our physical location (3453 Saanich Road). We appreciate the #smallbusinessYYJ support!
How do your rates work?
Our simulator rooms are reserved on an hourly basis at only $45/hour. These rates are for the spaces, not per person (ie. 4 guests in a bay for 1 hour would amount to $11.25 + tax per person).
Should I bring my own clubs?
Bring your golf clubs if you have them BUT if you don't have any, that's OK we have you covered. Sanitized rental clubs are available for $15 per session.
Can I bring my kids?
In short, YES! We are all about growing the game of golf and welcome golfers of all ages at Iron & Wood. Children are more than welcome with adult supervision. In respect to our COVID-19 safety measures, please remember to keep your booking to 4 or less.
How many players can play at one time?
Through the recomendation of HealthBC, we allow up to to 6 players to use a single simulator. Please keep in mind the more players on one simulator the slower play will be. If everyone is playing golf, we recomend keeping the bookings to 4 or less. For parties larger than 6 we encourage you to rent multiple simulators - contact us for details!
