Well, well, you divot-digging dandies and bunker-bashing buffs, Urban Golf Montreal—aka Muni—has swung into town, and I’m more jazzed than a caddie with a tip stash after a hole-in-one heist! Opened in late 2024 in Pointe-Saint-Charles, this 6,943-square-foot indoor golf club is serving up simulator shenanigans, Southern-style grub, and a vibe so swanky it could charm the spikes off my shoes—all for about $70 an hour per bay. I’ve been shanking balls since my swing was more mulligan than magic, so let’s stroll through this urban oasis and see if it’s a birdie-bound blast—or just a fancy way to whiff in style.

Urban Golf Montreal, branded as Muni, opened its doors in Fall 2024 within the historic Nordelec building in Montreal’s Pointe-Saint-Charles neighborhood, offering a modern indoor golf experience. Spanning 6,943 square feet, it features seven semi-private simulator lounges powered by GOLFZON technology, which includes moving plates to mimic sand, rough, and fairway lies, alongside AI swing analysis via an app. The space blends industrial elements—exposed brick, concrete floors, and steel beams—with upscale design touches like deep green tones, red oak veneer, and burgundy accents, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.
The simulators are the core attraction, providing access to global courses and detailed shot tracking, catering to both serious golfers and casual players. Pricing hovers around $70 per hour per bay, suitable for groups, with a boutique stocking brands like Malbon and Forden, and a bar-restaurant offering New Orleans-inspired cocktails and Southern dishes such as fried chicken and shrimp grits. Designed by Ivy Studio, the layout includes a double-height entry, a 45-seat dining area with banquettes, and a mezzanine for private events, emphasizing social engagement over pure performance.
Muni aims to redefine indoor golf by prioritizing community and hospitality alongside tech, drawing inspiration from classic country clubs but with a minimalist, urban twist. A hidden kitchen supports the menu, while custom lighting—like a monumental light box at reception—enhances the ambiance. Located near downtown with 27 parking spots and transit access, it’s poised to tap into Montreal’s trend of activity-based socializing, though it’s not a replacement for outdoor rounds.
