turn off all the lights after? Seriously?
Great place to keep your game sharp over the winter months. Staff is very responsive to feedback. I suggested they install coat hangers so people don't have to leave their coats and jackets on the benches and the next time I go, lo and behold, coat hooks behind every bay.
Like the simulation, improved my swing during the winter.

Software issues at booth 3. Other clients at the facility indicated it was not normal. Called the help line but no answer. Won't go back.
I will give it 5 stars, but with reservation. It's clean, bright, well serviced. Washroom is neat. Access is simple, and the systems no problem. The Sim they use is not great for me though - it adds spon to all my shots and exacerbates it on the driver. Don't go in and pay too much focus on the shot shape. I got all worked up as it kept showing hook, hook, hook o Rama. Got outside with the same swing and I'm dead straight. So if I play the courses, it's usually iron off the tee or 3w off the deck. Maybe I just don't hit it hard enough!!!! Overall well maintained, but as mentioned, the software doesn't work for my game.
I visited uptown frequently when they first opened, but with more competitors opening up closer to my home my visits to uptown became more sporadic. I enjoy the fact they are no frills practice oriented facility. Their booking form is easy and access has never been an issue. The prices vary based on day of week and remain somewhat competitive. Weekends aren't as great a deal anymore with more competitors opening locally. The facility is always clean and people who visit are generally very respectful. For the most part, the gchawk and fsxlive work fairly well. Top end monitor for a reasonable price. My last visit today to bay 2 had some issues with gch disconnecting intermittently. While the issue persisted for most of our 2 hour session, Uptown staff responded and remedied the situation after an email. They also credited the time back for future use. So easy decision to come back. It's been a few years so the facility is showing a bit of wear. - walls show damage - projectors are inconsistent (Bay 1 clarity and resolution is really poor). This was something I noted was an issue earlier in the year. - graphics could use an upgrade; not sure if limitation of fsxlive or pc hardware; not a big deal for me as I generally go to practice on the range. - there was club tracking the first year they opened, but that added cost was removed over time. All in all, I'd recommend visiting if you want a no nonsense bare bones practice experience. It seems easy to find availability, even on same day and prices, while no longer aggressively competitive, are still very reasonable. I did also appreciate the real time troubleshooting and goodwill gesture when something didn't go right. I'll be back when I'm in the area.
Update: uptown restarted the system during the game and the system went fine after that. Thanks Uptown for resolving the issue and refunding us the credit. —————————————————— Came back to uptown golf and the system (bay 2) kept reporting errors. It couldn’t identify the ball in half of my practice. The screen also lags sometimes and shows the ball a couple minutes late. Very disappointed at the system at uptown and we will not come back
