Net Par Opens in Shallotte at the Right Time

Golf is everywhere in the Carolinas.

Courses stay busy. New players keep showing up. Retirees, vacationers, and locals all want a place to play.

Now they have another one.

Net Par Golf has opened in Shallotte.

At first glance, it looks like a place for serious golfers. And it is. You can play famous courses from around the world. You can practice on TrackMan simulators. You can take lessons. You can join leagues. But that is only part of the story.

Net Par is also a place to gather.

Golf has changed. People still love the game. They also love the experience that comes with it. Friends meet. Families hang out. Coworkers compete. People want something to do after work or on a rainy day. Net Par gives them that. There are food and drinks. Games. Comfortable seating. Plenty of room to relax.

You do not have to be a golfer to enjoy it.

That matters in a fast-growing area like Brunswick County.

The timing is good, too.

Winter is coming. Forecasts have pointed to an El Niño pattern. That could mean more wet and unsettled weather across the Carolinas. When the weather turns rough, golfers usually have two choices. Stay home or tough it out. Now there is a third option. Stay indoors.

At Net Par, golfers can keep their swings sharp all winter long. They can play Pinehurst. Bethpage Black. Courses from around the world. No rain gear required.

One thing stands out right away. The simulator bays are bigger than what you find at many indoor golf venues. You can take a full swing. It feels more like being on a golf course and less like hitting in a box.

There are other reasons.

In-house golf professional Sam Cole offers lessons.

Players can also join leagues, compete in events, and even play in remote competitions.

For serious golfers, that is a plus. For everyone else, it is simply a good time.
