Games

What games does Drive Shack have to offer?


Our games bring on (mostly) healthy competition. We combine classic games, like blackjack, with golf to create the latest and greatest gaming experience. Want to hit the links instead? Play one of our virtual golf courses as if you were on the course. Regardless of what you choose to play, our innovative technology tracks your ball from start to stop so you can see how you’re playing and really brag about those swings.

Are the games fun for beginners or experienced golfers?


Both! Our games can be enjoyed by those who are just being introduced to the game and those who know it like the back of their hands. Our technology tracks your shot’s peak height, ball speed, total spin, carry distance, and total distance so regardless of your skill level, you can always work to improve your game.

What technology does Drive Shack use?

Drive Shack has partnered with leading global technology company, TrackMan™ to bring our visitors the best in golf and gaming technology. Unlike camera-based launch monitors that focus on ball impact and measure a set of launch conditions to predict or estimate where the ball is likely to land, the TM Range radar-based system tracks a shots’ actual trajectory, in real time, measuring the full flight of the ball from launch to landing.
