The Local Drive Stanley Hangar
Aurora, CO 80010 United States Get Directions
Venue Overview
The Local Drive Stanley Hangar is a golf simulator and indoor golf venue in Aurora, built inside the historic hangar at Stanley Marketplace on the line between Aurora and Denver's Central Park neighborhood, a short drive from Interstate 70 and Interstate 225. Its biggest differentiator is scale: 12 TrackMan bays across about 10,000 square feet of indoor golf space, plus an 8,500 square foot patio with Rocky Mountain views and the building's original 20-foot hangar doors. It works year-round for league nights, corporate outings and large charity events that need room for golfers and non-golfers alike.
About the Bays
- 12 TrackMan-powered simulator bays
- More than 400 courses, including PGA Tour stops

- Srixon and Cleveland demo clubs available to rent

Indoor Golf Simulator Technology
Every bay runs TrackMan, and the 400-plus course library lets a league rotate courses from week to week. The same TrackMan data powers the lessons and club fittings taught on site.
Events Held Here
The Local Drive Stanley Hangar runs monthly golf leagues and is set up for simulator tournaments, golf outings, networking events, corporate team nights and fundraisers. With 12 bays playing at once, a full field can tee off together instead of rotating through a handful of simulators. Upcoming events at this venue are listed below.
Lessons, Coaching & Programs
Lessons, club fittings and consultations are taught by an in-house golf professional using TrackMan, with video analysis available. As of 2026, the Hangar Golf Pro is Austin Smith, a PGA Associate with more than 25 years in the game. Single lessons and multi-hour packages are offered, and group clinics are planned through the year.
