What to Wear to a Golf Simulator in Scottsdale: Indoor Golf Outfit Guide
Indoor Golf
Full turn.
Indoors.
Wear a collared polo, four-way stretch shorts or joggers, and flat-soled spikeless golf shoes or clean sneakers to a golf simulator. A polo clears every Scottsdale simulator venue, including the ones attached to resorts and clubs. Stretch matters even more indoors than out, because every restriction in your swing shows up on the screen.

View detailsWhat Scottsdale simulator venues expect
Dress codes vary more indoors than on a real course. Some simulator bars are relaxed, while bays attached to resort properties or private clubs often apply the same dress code as their outdoor operation: a collared shirt and golf shorts or pants. The simple floor is a polo. Wear one and you will not be turned away anywhere. A t-shirt gets you in at some venues and not at others, and the risk is not worth it when a polo solves the problem.
Indoor facilities also care about shoes in a way outdoor courses do not. Spiked golf shoes can tear up the hitting mat, so most venues want spikeless golf shoes or clean, flat-soled sneakers. Skip thick foam running shoes. The extra height changes your stance and can throw off the data the simulator reads from your setup.
The right top for a simulator session
Stretch matters more in a simulator bay than on a course. Outdoors, a tight shirt is just uncomfortable. Indoors, the launch monitor is measuring every swing, and any restriction in your shoulder turn or backswing shows up in the numbers on the screen.
The Steven Polo is the right call. Its four-way stretch allows a full shoulder turn without pulling across the chest or bunching at the arms, and the cooling, sweat-wicking fabric keeps you dry through a long session. Bays warm up quickly with a group swinging in a small room. For a solid color, the David Polo does the same job with a firm collar. Avoid stiff fabrics, slim shirts without stretch, and anything with heavy seams across the upper back.
The right bottoms for a simulator session
The same rule applies below the waist: stretch fabric that allows a full hip turn. Jeans, cargo pants, non-stretch chinos and stiff shorts restrict the lower body rotation that drives the swing. When the system is reading your club path and attack angle, tight hips produce misses that have nothing to do with your mechanics.
The Drew Short gives you four-way stretch and a clean 7 inch length that suits any simulator dress code. For winter sessions or evenings that run cool, the James Jogger in Black is a tapered, four-way stretch jogger in 77% nylon and 23% spandex that looks like real pants and moves like training gear.
Before you book the bay
- Wear a collared polo. It clears every venue, casual or club.
- Choose stretch below the waist. Shorts or joggers with four-way stretch, never jeans.
- Bring flat soles. Spikeless golf shoes or clean sneakers, no spikes, no thick running foam.
- Dress in one light layer. Bays warm up fast once a group gets going.
- Bring a light layer for the drive in on winter evenings, and take it off before you swing.
What women should wear to a golf simulator
The same rules apply: a collar, stretch and flat soles. A tailored polo like the Chloe Polo with a skirt that has built-in shorts, such as the Olivia Skirt, looks like golf and moves like it too. For a one-piece option, the Allie Dress has built-in shorts and four-way stretch, so a full swing and a seat at the bar afterward are both covered.

The indoor temperature factor
Simulator bays vary. Some are kept cool and comfortable in a single layer. Others, especially private bays and older facilities, get warm after an hour of group use in an Arizona summer. Dress in one moisture-wicking layer rather than planning to layer up, and in summer choose a lightweight polo and skip outerwear.
In the cooler months, the bay is usually fine but the parking lot is not. A slim layer like the Kevin Vest or the Alec Quarter Zip handles the walk in and comes off before your first swing.

Shop Women'sFrequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to a golf simulator?
A collared polo, four-way stretch shorts or joggers, and spikeless golf shoes or clean flat-soled sneakers. Avoid spiked shoes, jeans and stiff shirts, since restrictive clothing shows up in your swing data. The Steven Polo with the Drew Short covers the dress code and the movement.
Do I need golf shoes for an indoor golf simulator?
No, but flat soles matter. Spikeless golf shoes are ideal, and clean flat-soled sneakers are accepted at most venues. Spiked shoes can damage the hitting mat, and thick running shoes raise your stance and skew the data on your setup.
Is there a dress code at golf simulators in Scottsdale?
It depends on the venue. Casual simulator bars are relaxed, while bays attached to resorts or private clubs often follow a full golf dress code with a collared shirt. A polo satisfies every venue, so when in doubt, wear one.
Can I wear a t-shirt to a golf simulator?
Sometimes, but it is a gamble. Casual venues will usually let you in, while club and resort bays may not. A stretch polo removes the question and swings just as freely, so it is the safer choice for any booking.
Should I wear shorts or pants to a golf simulator?
Either works if it stretches. Four-way stretch shorts like the Drew Short suit most of the year, and a tapered stretch jogger like the James Jogger works for winter and evening sessions. Skip jeans and non-stretch chinos, which limit your hip turn.
