Birdie Factory
Boulder, CO 80302 United States Get Directions
Venue Overview
Birdie Factory is Boulder’s first indoor golf bar, set in a plaza on Arapahoe Avenue between Folsom and 28th Street, a short walk from the CU Boulder campus. Five simulator bays with projector screens sit alongside a bar pouring 16 taps and rotating signature cocktails. Players can walk in, book online or buy a membership, and newer golfers can turn on settings that make the game more forgiving. Beyond golf there is a multisport bay, dartboards and a pool table, which makes Birdie Factory a year-round option for Boulder groups on cold or snowy days.

History
Birdie Factory opened in late May 2025 as the first indoor golf bar in Boulder, according to Axios Boulder. Owner Andrew “Fergie” Ferguson is a CU Boulder alum with more than 20 years in hospitality, including managing breweries, and he has played at dozens of similar facilities around the world. He told the Boulder Reporting Lab he wanted a place where you can have a drink and do an activity.
Golf Simulator Technology in Boulder
The simulators let players tackle famous courses such as Augusta National or fantasy layouts under different conditions, which helps golfers preparing for a tournament or a trip. The training bay goes deeper, with a floor pad and pressure plates that measure weight distribution and cameras that record and break down each swing against an instructional model.
Events Held Here
- Private parties: the full space is available for birthdays, gatherings and celebrations.
- Corporate rentals: the bay screens can show business presentations or movies.
- Group rounds: five bays make a small bracket or a friendly Masters-style event possible.

Lessons, Coaching & Programs
Birdie Factory offers one-on-one lessons with a professional golfer, and the training bay provides swing analysis on its own. Instructor names are not published as of 2026. Indoor leagues for adults and golf camps for kids were planned at opening, so ask the bar whether either is running this season.
