In a redeveloping corner of the Shops of Prairie Village, golf enthusiasts just took their first swings inside the city\u2019s newest golfing venue.<\/p>\n

This month, locally owned indoor golf facility GolfTRK<\/a> opened its newest Johnson County facility in Prairie Village.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

GolfTRK opened at 7068 Mission Road<\/p>\n

The facility took over a space at the Shops of Prairie Village, just off 71st Street and Mission Road.
\nThere, it operates near Big Grove Brewery<\/a>, in the newly redeveloped former site of department store Macy\u2019s.
\nFor members, GolfTRK is open from 5 a.m. to midnight daily.<\/p>\n

The Prairie Village space has eight high-tech golf simulator bays \u2014 plus a PuttView green in the center, a feature unique to the Prairie Village location specifically.<\/p>\n

Unlike other indoor golfing facilities, GolfTRK is focused more on golf specifically; there\u2019s no bar inside to speak of.<\/p>\n

To its founders, that\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we found was a lot of the indoor golf options that were out there at the time (of GolfTRK\u2019s founding) were geared towards entertainment,\u201d co-founder Sam Collins said. \u201cThat really wasn\u2019t what we were looking for from a practice standpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n

This marks the third GolfTRK in Johnson County<\/p>\n

Founders Sam Collins, Alex Reed and Matt Williams opened GolfTRK\u2019s flagship location in August 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really started with us looking for a place that we could go and practice,\u201d Collins said. \u201cA place that used great technology and had flexible access.\u201d<\/p>\n

So they created one, in Lenexa. Another GolfTRK location followed in January 2025, further south near the Bluhawk development in southern Overland Park.<\/p>\n

From GolfTRK\u2019s early days, the trio behind it said their eyes have been on Prairie Village too.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrairie Village is a great market for us,\u201d Collins said. \u201cWe\u2019re surrounded by high-quality golf courses; a lot of private courses in the area that (have) waiting lists or are very expensive to join.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson County isn\u2019t the only place where GolfTRK is growing. The locally owned company now has locations in other states too, such as Oregon, Nebraska and Texas, with even more on the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like this is absolutely a milestone that is a reflection of where we\u2019ve come,\u201d co-founder Alex Reed said. \u201cThis time next year, we should have around 35 to 40 locations open.\u201d<\/p>\n

To see the early response in both Prairie Village and in the new states that GolfTRK has just been introduced to, Collins added, feels like a bit of a \u201cfull circle\u201d moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response has been incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cTo actually get to this point, it\u2019s a pretty cool moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
