For those in the County looking to hit the links this May long weekend but don’t want to battle the bugs, Delancey Sports’ new high-tech golf simulator might be just what you’re looking for.
Owners Erika Mozes and Josh Karam have opened their premium, 4K golf simulator suite in the village, marking the latest milestone in their mission to create a year-round community sports hub in Haliburton.
“We bought this building at the end of 2025 with an intention of building out a full-service sports and rec facility that’s available year-round for the community, and the facility is designed to include premium sporting goods from Delancey Sports, our sports-themed arcade and now our 4K premium golf simulator,” Karam said.
“Really, it’s a premium suite housed right in downtown Haliburton where groups of up to four people can come and play world-class courses on a world-class golf simulator.”
The simulator isn’t your average net and tee setup. The owners said they went “all in” on the technology to ensure a realistic experience with the simulator, adding professional-grade training and entertainment options for local golfers.
“It’s meant to be accessible for your average golf enthusiasts… or your premium budding golf pro who wants to hone their skills,” Karam said.
The setup features a 4,000-lumen projector that displays courses, like Augusta National and Pebble Beach, in 4K resolution. The owner explained that, unlike standard white screens, Delancey Sports uses a grey impact screen to enhance colour, clarity, and contrast. The hitting mat in the simulator suite is designed to allow players to use real wooden tees, mimicking the feel of actual grass rather than a rubber tee that’s often used at driving ranges. Then there’s the actual software. The simulator is running on V-track and GS pro technology, a data-driven system that allows users to really test themselves.
“So, instead of playing 18 holes, you might just be out here trying to improve your chipping or trying to improve your drive,” Karam explained. “That’s the beauty of the software. It can really help you elevate your game.”
The simulator also provides an environment for those new to the sport to take their time and not worry about onlookers and other distractions.
“You don’t have people staring at you as you’re teeing off,” Karam said. “You can come here, and you can just whack balls… You don’t have to run after your ball in the bush.”
While Delancey Sports currently offers what Karam described as golf essentials like balls, tees and gloves, the owners plan to expand this summer to include footwear and golf clubs. The simulator will then serve as a testing ground where customers can demo clubs before making a purchase.
The golf suite accommodates groups of up to four people with a flat rate of $55 per hour. Reservations can be made online at delanceysports.com, and walk-ins are welcome if the suite isn’t booked.
