Golfers, get ready — a modern new playground for your swing is opening soon at the Judson Mill District. Kenny’s Golf Club, a 6,800-sqft indoor facility founded by Greenville resident Beau Blackshear, will bring high-tech training and year-round play to the heart of the historic mill campus.
The space will open with six simulator bays outfitted with industry-leading launch monitors and high-speed cameras that analyze every detail of your ball flight and club path — the same tools used by top players and coaches.
There will be a snack bar with beer, wine, sodas, and the same snacks you’ll find on the course beer cart. Plus, you can grab bites from Mill City Kitchen, with plans for a special delivery menu that will come straight to your bay.
“I want this space to be what people want it to be,” Beau said about adding on to his business in the future. “I want to be able to adapt this space to what people tell me they want to see as time goes on.”
