In the space of a year, golf simulators have spread along FM 2499 and FM 407. Within a short drive of Flower Mound, Highland Village and Argyle you can now book a simulator bay at six different venues, and a seventh is planned near Aberdeen. Posted public prices cluster between roughly $35 and $70 a bay, so cost rarely settles where to go. The bigger differences are whether someone is pouring drinks, whether you can bring a cooler, and whether the door opens at 2 a.m.
The rates sit closer together than you'd expect
One of this summer's two arrivals, Green Bird at 5701 Long Prairie Rd., next to Old Navy, lists a standard bay at $35 an hour on weekdays and $45 on weekends, per bay, for up to six guests. Split six ways on a weekday, that comes to under $6 a person. Its larger stadium bay holds up to 12 and runs $45 weekday and $50 weekend.
The rest of the area's posted public rates:
| Venue | Location | Posted public bay rate | Food and drink |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Bird | 5701 Long Prairie Rd., Flower Mound | $35 to $50 per hour | Full bar and kitchen |
| SIMPoint | 1221 Flower Mound Rd., Flower Mound | Golf $50 off-peak, $60 peak | Bring your own |
| Rev's Golf Lounge | 2250 FM 407, Highland Village | $50 weekdays, $70 weekends and holidays | BYOB and BYOF |
| The Back Nine Golf | 3913 Long Prairie Rd., Flower Mound | Starting at $50 per hour | Alcohol prohibited |
| The Green Room | 151 FM 407 E, Argyle | $50 non-peak, $60 peak | Not stated on site |
The one venue in that group with its own kitchen and bar posts the lowest hourly rate. The Argyle Open at Northlake Commons also serves food, but its October 2025 coverage reported conflicting prices, so it stays off the table. All of these prices come from the venues' own sites and were current when this post was written. Confirm the rate when you book.
With prices that close, the better question is what kind of evening each room is built for.
Rooms with a kitchen behind them
Green Bird and The Argyle Open are built for groups where not everyone plans to swing a club.
At Green Bird, five bays run on TruGolf APOGEE simulators with E6 APEX software, and the site lists more than 1,000 playable courses. The menu covers shareables, wings, burgers and tacos, plus beer and cocktails. The stadium bay has three tables in the back for food and drinks, which suits a birthday group or a team outing. Green Bird recommends at least two hours for four golfers playing 18 holes, and it keeps men's, women's and left-handed clubs on hand for anyone who arrives without a set. Walk-ins are welcome when a bay is open, though the venue suggests reserving for evenings and weekends.
The Argyle Open opened Oct. 20, 2025, at 1242 FM 407, Suite 400, in Northlake Commons, according to Community Impact. It has four Full Swing Pro 2.0 bays, a scratch kitchen, signature cocktails and beer on tap. Talking to the Cross Timbers Gazette, Heather Anthony, wife of owner Nicholas Anthony, said the goal from the start was something "super family-friendly" that "could bring families together."
Rooms where you bring the snacks
SIMPoint and Rev's Golf Lounge skip the kitchen and leave food and drinks to you.
SIMPoint's site says guests may bring their own food and beverages. It runs Trackman golf simulators, and it is also the only venue in this group with a pickleball simulator: you play with real paddles against moving targets and get instant feedback. The pickleball bay holds two players at a time with room for up to four guests, and it costs less than golf, at $30 an hour off-peak and $40 peak. Bookings go through the website or the Trackman app, which sends door and bay access codes 15 minutes before your start time. Public hours run 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Rev's in Highland Village has been doing the same thing since October 2023. Its FAQ says plainly that there is no room for a bar, and it welcomes whatever drinks customers bring, alcoholic or not. As the Cross Timbers Gazette noted, the lounge is smaller than the newer projects, with four simulator bays furnished with a couch and chair. Public hours vary by day. Monday and Tuesday run 4 to 9 p.m., and Sunday runs 2 to 8 p.m. Check the schedule before you plan a weekday afternoon.
Rooms built around the keycode
The third model treats the bay as a members' practice space that stays open after the staff goes home.
The Back Nine Golf opened July 2, 2025, at 3913 Long Prairie Rd. with four private, sound-insulated bays and 24/7 contactless check-in, Community Impact reported. Its facility agreement prohibits alcohol, which makes it the quietest of these rooms on purpose. Memberships start at the Par tier, listed at $160 a month on a 12-month plan.
The Green Room in the Oaks Building on FM 407 in Argyle prices its memberships by time of day. Fairway is $149 a month for weekday daytime access, Birdie is $199 for 4 p.m. to midnight, and Eagle is $249 for 24/7 access. It is also the one venue here that leans into instruction, with private coaching and an eight-week beginner group class listed at $420.
After-hours play has spread to the social venues too. SIMPoint members can get in from 6 a.m. Rev's members have 24/7 access. Green Bird offers 24/7 access to eligible members. After hours, though, it runs as a different room: members only, no nonmember guests and no alcohol.
The house rules that decide a family Saturday
Kids are welcome at every venue here. What changes is the fine print, and it can decide a family Saturday:
- Green Bird welcomes kids under 16 during staffed hours with a parent supervising.
- SIMPoint allows kids and teens and requires adult supervision for guests 13 and under.
- Rev's calls itself family-friendly and "best suited for children above 4 years old."
- The Back Nine requires a parent or legal guardian with any guest under 18, with continuous, direct, close supervision.
- The Argyle Open describes itself as kid-friendly and built for guests of all ages.
By kind of outing:
- A mixed group where half won't play: Green Bird's stadium bay or The Argyle Open, where the kitchen keeps everyone else busy.
- Date night on a budget, snacks from home: SIMPoint or Rev's, where you choose what's on the table.
- A rainy-day match for someone who'd rather play pickleball than golf: SIMPoint's pickleball bay, the only one around.
- Swing practice before work: The Back Nine or a time-based Green Room plan, where the keycode does the hosting.
- A true beginner: The Green Room, the one venue with a structured class on its calendar.
The next one is a campus
Golf Everywhere, planned for the northeast corner of FM 2499 and Aberdeen Lane, takes a different approach from all six. Owner Myles Vlachos told the Cross Timbers Gazette that it won't be a "golf-tainment" place but a "community country club campus intended for everyone." Flower Mound approved the site plan in May 2025. Early local coverage described 12 simulator bays, a short-game area, instruction and fitness space, while a later trade report put the count at 16 TruGolf bays.
The opening date is still open. The project's state construction filing lists a scheduled start of March 30, 2026, and estimated completion on Nov. 20, 2026. That is a construction estimate, not an opening date. The company's own FAQ says it plans to open in 2026. Community Impact's 2025 report called a 2027 public opening tentative.
If a few rounds on Long Prairie have you wondering what your own home and yard would bring in today's market, Pickard Real Estate Group can put together a home value estimate based on what's selling around you.
