Looking for a way to perfect that golf swing? Tee Box might just be the answer. The 24/7 facility, recently opened in Centerville, offers putting green areas, hitting bays with screens that analyze a golfer’s swing, club speed, etc. and also a gym. The location is home to the Corporate Headquarters in the back with the Tee Box in the front.
“It was started in South Weber for golf improvement for youth,” said Colby Kendell, head of marketing for Tee Box. “All of the locations have gyms. We’re avid believers there is a correlation between fitness to help fuel the body and promote health. Kids do 30 minutes of fitness and 30 minutes of golf.”
Kendall said they noticed parents bringing their kids were very interested as well so they moved into creating offerings for adults as well. “Families can come and while kids work on their game, parents golf and use the gym.”
“I’m a big golfer and my son plays for Viewmont,” said Blake Barnes, a golf coach at Viewmont who runs the Centerville Tee Box. “You can play the course and if you want to improve your game it kind of shoots you out on the range in real time. It shows you how you hit the ball and you can connect and play courses from all over the world.”
It’s cool technology, he said. “You can join tournaments and have leagues in real time.”
“We have club fittings and lessons,” said Kendell. “There are different combinations for different games.”
There are six Tee Box locations, he said. “We opened one in Kaysville and membership is almost full. It opened our eyes to Davis County and how many golfers love it.”
Kendall said they chose Centerville for the headquarters because it’s so central between Ogden and Salt Lake City. “We found a building right off of I-15 and it was the perfect size. It also had enough square footage for a Tee Box location as well. We love being here. There are so many high schools – we’re creating a community.”
It’s very rewarding, he said. “It’s fun to see the high school kids get so good. They play all over the state.”
Tee Box is located at 702 W. 400 South, Centerville. For more information visit tbx.golf. λ
