Abstract
The golf course has a hybrid configuration with a virtual golf simulator tee off for the fairway which transitions to a live play environment once the user approaches the green. The virtual golf simulator can have a booth like configuration with a lounge behind the simulator. The user hits a ball in the simulator and the simulator senses the position and motion of the shot to calculate a starting location on the live play environment. The user then enters the live play environment and finishes the course in live play. A variety of different simulators can be used with the live play environment.
