You don’t have to swing as well as the players on TGL or LIV Golf (coming to Chatham Hills in Westfield in August) to work on your game at the newest golf simulator in Hamilton County. Stick & Hack in Fishers opened in December and caters to players of all skill levels.

 

“We wanted to build a space that brought sticks and hacks together,” said Stick & Hack CEO Adam Grubb. “We feel this is a cool space where people can come out and feel comfortable immediately. It can be an event space, golf, a hangout - it can be a lot of different things.”

 

Stick & Hack, located in Fishers behind DeVeau’s Gymnastics Club and down the road from Best Choice Fieldhouse, has three golf simulators measuring 16 feet wide by 22 feet deep. The simulator, which contains more than 1,000 different courses, provides all the data for golf players looking to improve their game and a fun and relaxed atmosphere for locals or people in Hamilton County between sporting events. Stick & Hack has many corporate leagues and partnerships already ongoing, and some are being added soon. Local pro sports teams Indy Fuel and Indy Ignite already have relationships with Stick & Hack.

 

“We talk about the partnerships with the local sports teams, this is where players and fans can come and work on their game or just hang out,” Grubb said. “We’ve held several corporate events with 30-50 people, we have our own catering, and everyone is in the bays playing different games. I’m so proud of the look and feel and that the residents have gravitated toward us.”

 

Stick & Hack is the opposite of a chain, with its origin story coming from a golf media brand Grubb created with his Noblesville-based, full-service marketing agency, Adam Grubb Media. In 2019, Grubb built a website, logo and ran a podcast covering golf. The idea was to bring the golf community together. With the brand and all of the IP established, Grubb’s business partner, Ryan Geltz, approached with the idea of a simulator facility, and another partner, Doug Fredbeck, brought real estate expertise

 

“Golf brings you into a community. It has a whole different vibe than any other sport, and we want that same feeling here. We want people to feel like you’re part of a club. Sticks and hacks at the same time. It’s exciting to see the place take off the way it has.”

 

Grubb promises a monster scene during the upcoming March Madness season, with the simulators and event spaces full and food aplenty. Different levels of memberships start at $20 per month.
