At the heart of GOLFSHOTZ are two people who know golf, hospitality, and what it takes to create an unforgettable experience. Co-founders Trevor Hefferan and Tara O’Reilly have poured their passion and expertise into redefining the indoor golf scene and shaking up the way people experience the game. Trevor, a Professional Golf Management graduate, has served as a Director of Golf across Canada, creating experiences that make golfers feel like pros. Tara, with a business degree in Marketing and 20-plus years in the hospitality industry, drives growth and ensures every location stands out.
Together, they’ve created something one-of-a-kind: an indoor golf experience that blends world-class Trackman simulators with an atmosphere that feels like a night out. Our bartenders and hosts are coined ‘caddies’, delivering not just drinks and service, but fun from the first swing to the last call. Add in our signature cocktail and shotz menu with a full bar stocked with draft beer, highballs, seltzers, wine, and non-alcoholic options, plus private packages for any occasion, and you’ve got a place that feels as premium as it is playful.
GOLFSHOTZ is proudly a member of Golf Canada, reflecting growing national recognition of indoor golf for skill development and competitive play. Some locations may even offer the HitTrax Suite Batting Simulator, featuring state-of-the-art batting cage technology where the pitching machine fires real baseballs for practice, Home Run Derbys, full game play, and more, bringing extra excitement and variety to the GOLFSHOTZ experience. And because we believe great times deserve great food, select franchises can also feature our Pub Grub Menu, a crowd-pleasing lineup of eats that perfectly complements the drinks, swings, and social vibe.
We go beyond golf with fully customized corporate events, birthdays, team-building nights, and bachelor parties. Our no-weekly-commitment league keeps competition buzzing with prizes and weekly winners, connecting players across locations. Trevor and Tara live and breathe this brand, growing GOLFSHOTZ into Canada’s largest indoor golf league and the most recognizable name in golf entertainment. With their experience and commitment to top-notch customer service, they’re not just building a franchise, they’re building a community.
