About
Our Vision
At Happy Place Golf Lounge, we believe golf should be for everyone — accessible, enjoyable, and social. Based in Louth, we’ve created a welcoming space that blends the fun of modern golf technology with the comfort of a high-quality lounge environment. Whether you’re a dedicated golfer chasing year-round practice or someone looking for a relaxed activity with friends, our aim is simple: to make golf part of everyday life in our community.
The Lounge Experience
Our main lounge features two state-of-the-art golf simulators, comfortable seating, and a modern, social atmosphere designed to bring people together. Guests can play famous courses, challenge friends, or simply enjoy a relaxed game at their own pace. The simulators use the latest technology for realistic feedback and immersive visuals, making them perfect for both practice and play. The space is open from early morning to late evening, offering flexible access for individuals, small groups, and private hire. We want everyone who visits to feel that they’ve found their “happy place” — a spot to unwind, play, and connect.
Community
Projects
Beyond being a sports venue, we’re committed to supporting the local community. We’re setting aside free weekday sessions for schools to bring students for golf-based learning and activity, helping young people experience the sport in a fun, inclusive environment. Our community room will host wellbeing sessions, workshops, and learning opportunities — from social skills to confidence-building through sport. We also provide a breakout space designed for children with additional needs, offering a safe, calm environment with creative play options. These initiatives reflect our belief that sport and social connection can make a positive difference in people’s lives.
Our
Commitment
Founded by Stuart Cunnington and Ian Thrower, Happy Place Golf Lounge is more than just an indoor golf venue — it’s a project built around community, inclusion, and opportunity. By combining innovative technology with thoughtful design and local partnerships, we aim to create a space that brings people together, promotes wellbeing, and gives back to the town we’re proud to call home.
