Golf enthusiasts flock to this genius indoor venue inside The Shops at Perry Crossing in Plainfield. Perfect for one-on-one golf lessons, group leagues & tournaments or an outing with friends, the golf simulators at X-Golf let you play championship courses or fun golf-related games.

Whether you are good at throwing an axe or not, time with friends always hits the bullseye at this fun attraction also in The Shops at Perry Crossing! Throw for many rounds and choose from multiple fun games.
LumberjAXE activities also include a pool table and digital dart boards. Food and drinks are available as well.
Divot Golf Factory
Divot Golf Factory in Brownsburg takes the golf-simulator experience up a notch with a platform that matches the screen's playing environment. Has your ball ended up on the side of a hill or in a bunker? The platform tilts to match and has simulated rough or sand to hit out of.
Gather for one evening or return for a league competition. But make sure to reserve a spot well in advance because the number of simulators remain limited.
Richard A. Carlucci Recreation & Aquatic Center
If you aren't up for braving the elements for your fitness routine, the Richard A. Carlucci Recreation and Aquatic Center in Plainfield is the perfect place to be active and social indoors. I enjoy meeting friends to walk around the indoor track on the second floor while we catch up on life.
There are a variety of activities and classes to power up your body, including scheduled court times to play your favorite sports, such as pickleball, basketball and more.

Step into another world at Press Play Gaming Lounge in Brownsburg. This family-focused facility also makes a perfect outing for adults, offering foam wars, a virtual reality Omni Arena, 3-point basketball challenges and more.
