The Ashford Cinema launches exciting new TrackMan golf simulator experience
Posted on 20 August 2026The Ashford Cinema is strengthening Ashford town centre’s leisure and evening economy with the launch of two new TrackMan golf simulators on Friday 4 September, creating another compelling reason for residents, visitors and businesses to spend time in the town centre.
The investment adds to the growing mix of leisure, hospitality and social experiences at Elwick Place, helping to increase footfall, encourage longer visits and support surrounding businesses across the day and into the evening.
Designed for players of all abilities, the new TrackMan golf simulators bring together sport, technology, interactive entertainment and hospitality in one destination. From experienced golfers looking to improve their game to complete beginners trying golf for the first time, guests can enjoy more than 500 world-class courses, fun challenges and friendly competitions. Each private bay includes a dedicated seating area and table, with food and drinks served directly to guests, creating a relaxed social experience that can appeal to families, friends, corporate teams and visitors looking for something different to do in Ashford.
By broadening the range of activities available in the town centre, the new offer is expected to help draw people in for longer stays, supporting spend not only at The Ashford Cinema but also across nearby restaurants, cafés, bars, shops and venues. A full 18-hole round can be completed in under two hours, while 55-minute sessions start from £28 per bay for up to four people, making the experience accessible for casual visitors as well as regular players.
The launch of the two TrackMan golf bays marks another positive step in the development of Ashford’s town centre offer, reinforcing Elwick Place as a key leisure destination and supporting the wider ambition to create a vibrant, resilient and economically active town centre.
We are delighted to see the leisure offer at Elwick Place continuing to grow, with the arrival of the new TrackMan golf simulators adding another exciting reason for people to visit and enjoy time in the town centre, alongside our popular cinema.
Elwick Place has an important role to play in supporting Ashford’s evening and leisure economy, and it is fantastic to see The Ashford Cinema building on its offer with more experiences for residents, visitors and businesses.
