The Drop Zone Golf Launches in Tredegar

The Drop Zone Golf (TDZG), a new all-weather, family-friendly indoor golf centre, has officially launched in Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent. The venue held a successful soft launch for family and friends before welcoming the public on December 2nd. The state-of-the-art facility offers year-round entertainment with golf simulators, a full-sized putting area, and a fully stocked golf shop, making it the first of its kind in Wales.

Founded by passionate golfers Christian Lee Prosser and Gareth James, along with respected ex-golf professional Craig Evans, TDZG is designed to be a fully inclusive venue for people of all ages and abilities. The facility includes three advanced golf simulators, including a VIP bay for club fittings, lessons, and gapping sessions. Guests can also enjoy a bar and kitchen offering hot and cold refreshments.

The Drop Zone Golf is supported by Blaenau Gwent Council's Business & Innovation Team, who provided startup assistance, including a Business Development Grant and guidance through the Enterprise Facilitation programme.

Christian and Gareth have praised the team's support throughout the process.

"We're incredibly grateful for the support we've received from the Blaenau Gwent Business & Innovation Team," said Gareth James, Co-Owner of The Drop Zone Golf.

"This journey wouldn't have been possible without the help of the team, and the encouragement from our family and friends has been invaluable."

TDZG is targeting a wide range of customers, from school-aged children to pensioners, and aims to create a space that promotes health, well-being, and community engagement through golf. The business will also support local initiatives for armed forces veterans and mental health programs, making it a venue that offers more than just golf - it's a place to connect, relax, and improve both physically and mentally.

Councillor John C Morgan, Cabinet Member for Place & Regeneration, says:

"This is a fantastic facility where people can practice, play and enjoy the game of golf. I'm delighted we've been able to support owners Christian and Gareth to choose and invest here in Blaenau Gwent."

The Drop Zone Golf offers an online booking system to help customers reserve time on the simulators and secure lessons or equipment. Future plans include creating job opportunities and expanding the venue's offerings.
