Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting into the swing of things, golfers of all skill levels will love Huntsville’s brand-new indoor golf simulator experience. Located at 5000 Whitesburg Dr in South Huntsville, The Golf Lab is open 24/7 and offers players the ability to tee off at some of the most iconic golf courses from around the world—without leaving the Rocket City.

Hville Blast caught up with entrepreneurs and owners Jassen and Kerry Garner to learn how they brought their dream golf simulator to life.

What is The Golf Lab?

Just 10 minutes from downtown Huntsville in Whitesburg Plaza, The Golf Lab is more than your average golf simulator. Open 24/7, this brand-new indoor golf facility is perfect for early risers and night owls alike, and offers:

Simulated rounds of golf on beloved international courses
Private lessons with experienced instructors
Customizable event packages (perfect for company team-building)
Competitive league play
And more!

Through The Golf Lab’s UNEEKOR golf simulators, players have access to more than 1,800 golf courses—including some that are inaccessible to the public, like Augusta Pebble Beach and The Ledges. Plus, with lightning-fast connectivity from Comcast Business, players can tee off alongside friends anywhere across the globe.

“Being open 24/7 appealed to us because, being so close to Redstone Arenal, there are many individuals who work long, different hours and need a space that is flexible.

When members book a tee time, they get sent a code that lets them through the front door; that way, we can offer public hours throughout the week and still give our members unlimited access to the facility.”
Kerry Garner, Co-Owner, The Golf Lab

The golf simulators are also equipped with cameras and AI technology that track and analyze your swing. You can even set up personal profiles to track your progress!

“I’m not a golfer myself, so I had fun trying my best swing and watching the playback analysis. There are several learning visualizations including body movement, club placement and more.”

The driving force behind The Golf Lab are Jassen and Kerry Garner, an entrepreneurial husband and wife duo who have worked together for the past six years at their insurance business, Ohana Benefits.

“Being an entrepreneur brings lots of highs and lows, but being able to do it with my husband is so fun and natural. We are sincerely the closest of friends and absolutely love working together.”
Kerry Garner, Co-Owner, The Golf Lab

One night, Jassen told Kerry his dream was to one day open a space that housed both their insurance agency and an extracurricular space.

“That dream planted a seed, and last year we decided to take the leap. We found a 5,000-square-foot space that was exactly what we needed in January, and by March we had started the buildout.”

Why The Golf Lab chose Comcast Business

To make sure each of The Golf Lab’s state-of-the-art simulators is running seamlessly 24/7, the Garners needed fast, reliable internet. As longtime customers familiar with its quality and service, picking Comcast Business was the obvious choice.

“I’ve lived in Hawaii, Florida, Virginia and now Alabama, so I have a lot of experience with different Internet Service Providers. It was an easy decision to go with Comcast Business, and their customer service is so fantastic.

One time, we had an issue getting our front door to connect to our app; Comcast was extremely responsive and came out to immediately fix the issue so we could get down to business.”
