Where Tradition Meets Innovation
At Parlore Golf, we blend the essence of our name with our commitment to exceptional experiences. "Par" represents the ideal number of strokes for a hole or course, while "Lore" reflects the shared traditions, knowledge and potential evolution of story growth or exaggeration amongst the community.
We welcome golfers of all levels to our facility, offering state-of-the-art simulators and spacious bays designed for both enjoyment and improvement. Whether you're new to golf or a seasoned pro, you'll find a supportive environment to enhance your skills and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
But golf is just the beginning. Parlore Golf also features a variety of interactive games including axe throwing, washer toss, cornhole, and darts. These activities are perfect for a fun night out with friends and family. Enjoy our food and drinks as you take part in exciting challenges and create memorable experiences.
Our mission is to provide a standout golf experience and an engaging gaming atmosphere. We focus on delivering what matters most to you, ensuring that every visit is both enjoyable and unforgettable.
