If you think golf simulators are just for die-hard golfers, think again. Host Deanna Fontanez takes viewers inside The Wake Zone Indoor Golf & Taproom, where you can tee off, kick back, grab a drink, or just hang out, whether you’ve ever picked up a club or not.

Brewpub and Event Manager Haylee, explained what it was all about, "The Wake Zone is the second location for Wallenpaupack Brewing Company, featuring a taproom with 14 draft lines and to-go beer, plus six indoor golf and sports simulators. “All six of them have the about golf program that has over 100 courses and it also has mini golf, there’s beer pong, there’s dart, so that you could do some chipping games. Plus three out of the six have the true golf program that has basketball, baseball, soccer, zombie dodgeball. Pretty much you name it and it’s on there,” 

Which means you don’t have to be a golfer to have fun. For first-time visitors, the experience often surprises them. “As soon as they come in, it’s a very wow factor. We give them a little tour so that they can see. We would usually give like a little 15-minute free demo if they’d like, just so that they can get a feel of what the simulators are,” Haylee says.

With a huge variety of games that are always evolving, each visit can feel new. Haylee shares her favorite: “My favorite game is going to be foot golf. Uh it’s kind of a combination between golf, soccer, and disc golf all in one. So, it’s super fun and active.”

The attached taproom adds to the overall experience, giving it a laid-back, social vibe, making it perfect for friends, family, or co-workers, with all sorts of activities to enjoy.

Haylee also gave us some tips for when you plan your visit, “For each simulator, we recommend no more than six players, I would say 2 hours is probably a good sweet spot to get the most out of it." and no need to worry about equipment. They’ve got you covered with clubs you can borrow. But if you’re a golfer, you can absolutely bring your own.

Located in Tafton near Lake Wallenpaupack, The Wake Zone is ideal year-round. Starting in late fall through mid-spring, golfers can join leagues or tournaments, helping them keep their skills sharp for when they back on the course. 

Whether you’re working on your swing or your weekend plans, The Wake Zone proves you don’t have to be a golfer to have a great time.
