Golfer’s Edge Chennai (GEC) is a new indoor golf centre in the heart of the city, and it opened its doors to the public on March 20. The centre features an ultra-realistic HD virtual simulator and an exclusive 170 sq.ft. putting turf.
While GEC caters to the golfing enthusiasts in the city with a fully air-conditioned indoor facility that will enable visitors to play golf all-year-round, it also aspires to make learning golf affordable, accessible and entertaining to new players. GEC has customised coaching sessions, memberships, and special programs for adults and children.

With a high speed tracking camera and live analysis of every swing, chip and putt, the simulator offers a very real golfing experience to learn and improve your game.
Other than regular golf, the simulator also offers numerous fun games such Footie Golf, Golf Bowling, Gallery Golf and Golf Darts, to name a few, to make the experience extra fun and competitive.

GEC provides golfing equipment at no additional cost in order to enable customers to learn with ease, without the hassle of buying expensive equipment at the very start.

GEC offers individual and group coaching classes for children and young adults. GEC will soon open its first summer camp for kids between 7-12yrs. For its kids coaching program and summer camps, the company has partnered with Golphin, an award winning company from Scotland that designs and manufactures junior golf sets, and will use Golphin’s proprietary mobile app – MyPathway2Golf to make learning fun.
For adults GEC offers personalised and group lessons with our licensed coaches, at timings that are flexible. The centre also invites small groups to book the venue for special occasions and hosts corporate team events for small groups.
Origins –
GEC is brought to you by TeeTime Ventures (TTV), a Bengaluru-based sports and recreational services company. Since 2014 TTV has successfully completed over 50 indoor golf and sports installations across India and Sri Lanka and works with the Hospitality, Real Estate, Sports, Corporate and Armed Forces industries amongst others. Golfer’s Edge Chennai is the company’s flagship experience centre.
Bharath Arvind and Hari Natarajan, Co-Founders of Golfer’s Edge Chennai, are both avid golfers and sports enthusiasts who believe that golf is a fast growing sport in India, and want to make the sport available to a larger public. “Chennai is such a sports-obsessed city, but has limited opportunities for anyone wanting to play or learn golf. With GEC we hope to make it a more accessible and affordable sport, and with an indoor air-conditioned facility we hope we can make golfing a year-long sport, even in Chennai’s hot summers”, says Hari Natarajan. Bharath Arvind adds, “We have created this facility so as to make it a casual, comfortable, and safe environment for all visitors to experience golf in an entertaining and approachable manner. Our hope is that, maybe one day, we produce a champion golfer or top amateur who began their journey right here at GEC Chennai”.
