X-Golf Midlothian Review: Richmond’s Best Indoor Golf Simulator Studio

X-Golf Richmond sits at 15800 WC Main St in Midlothian, a few minutes from the Chesterfield Towne Center, and it’s the closest thing to a purpose-built golf simulator studio in the Richmond area. Six bays, a full bar, food service, and up to six players per simulator. It’s a setup that works for serious practice, casual group nights, and everything in between.

The Simulators

X-Golf runs its own proprietary simulator technology, and it holds up well. The cameras track ball flight in real time and the course library covers over 100 venues worldwide. Augusta, Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, and dozens more. The courses are realistic enough that your pre-shot routine actually matters, which is what separates a good simulator from a novelty. From our experience, you might have to call the staff over to fix the simulator once in a 2-3 hours session, but it’s usually a quick fix.

Each bay holds up to 6 players and pricing is charged per bay per hour, which makes it genuinely affordable when you split it with a group. Tuesday is their BOGO day — buy one simulator hour, get the second free — worth planning around if you’re flexible with your schedule.

The Facility

It’s a purpose-built simulator location, not a converted warehouse or a simulator bolted onto a bar. The bays are well-spaced, the screens are large, and the lighting is controlled well enough that you’re not dealing with glare. There’s a full bar on-site with food options, which puts it a step above purely utilitarian locations. As we’ve experienced, the full bar is a great option, and the service is generally attentive. The food options are ‘underwhelming’ – generally consisting of lower-tier bar food such as mozzarella sticks, flat breads, and poppers. Bottom line, don’t go there for the food, but it’s there if you need something.

Total capacity is 50 guests, so X-Golf handles private events well. Birthday parties, corporate outings, and bachelor parties are common — book in advance if you’re bringing a group on a weekend evening.

Lessons

X-Golf Richmond offers professional instruction using the simulator data as a coaching tool. If you’ve never had a lesson that shows you exact launch angle, spin rate, and ball speed on every shot, it changes how you think about practice. A few sessions here during winter can translate directly to course improvements in spring.

The Verdict

X-Golf is the a great simulator experience in Midlothian. The tech is solid, the bar makes it socially viable for non-golfers, and the per-bay pricing rewards groups. Best for: players who want serious course simulation, lessons, or a private event with a golf theme.
