A bougie indoor golf experience opens in Miami with high tech and hospitable vibes
On Friday, June 27, The Tips Golf, an innovative new indoor golf lounge, will debut at the AC Hotel Miami Brickell with lavish flair. Merging state-of-the-art technology with luxury hospitality, the bi-level complex welcomes both casual and competitive golfers to practice, play, and socialize.
There's a sophisticated yet comfortable vibe to the sprawling 3,6000-square-foot lounge, awash in verdant greens and wood paneling, with supple, caramel leather seating and floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of downtown Miami. From the menu, expect modern twists on clubhouse classics, like the Caribbean Transfusion (vodka, grape juice, ginger ale), chimichurri steak tacos, barbecue chicken flatbread, and a particularly playful 'bucket of balls' brimming with sugared donut holes.
Guests can sidle up to an intimate, 10-seat bar or flock to one of the play bays with enough room for five or more golfers. While the scene is quite luxe, no snooty country-club rules will kill the vibe; with no formal dress code in effect, athletic attire is totally fine.
Hourly rates vary during peak ($90/hour) and off-peak ($65/hour) times, with memberships starting at $145 per month. Clubs are always provided, so you don't need to bring your own—though purists are more than welcome to caddie their own irons. Members definitely get the most bang for their buck, including perks like guest passes, free simulator time, dining discounts, and priority booking.
In addition to simulator play and practice, ambitious guests can book private lessons with Miami native and decorated professional golfer Landon Michelson. His coaching expertise airmails everything from mechanics to mindset to course management—all bolstered by The Tips' cutting-edge swing analysis tool.
This brand-new match-play mecca is the brainchild of avid golfer and Wall Street exec Alejandro Piekarewicz and branding expert wife, Elise. 'I created The Tips for fellow golfers who value both performance and atmosphere,' Piekarewicz said. 'Whether you're taking a lesson, practicing on your own, or teeing it up with friends over drinks, our goal is to deliver a premium experience driven by genuine hospitality in every aspect.'

ITV's This Morning star wowed by Glasgow hotel
Josie Gibson stayed at the AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow and toured the hotel's brand-new luxury wedding and event venue The Collector's Hall. She said: "I have never, ever stayed in anywhere like this in my life." The Liberty Suite, a two-bedroom residence with a living area, dining space, and kitchen, offers stunning views and elegant interiors. Josie with Craig Munro (Image: Supplied) Josie visited Glasgow to get a first look at The Collector's Hall, AC Hotel's new venue designed for weddings, private events, and gatherings. She joked with general manager Craig Munro about her own romantic aspirations, saying: "Can I get married here? "Can you imagine walking down the aisle to a hunky Scotsman… I've just got to find him first." Craig said: "It was an absolute privilege to have Josie stay in our Liberty Suite. "This two-bedroom suite, with its unique layout and high-end finishes, complements our new wedding and event space perfectly. "We're thrilled she enjoyed her time with us and would be honoured to host her big day - when that hunky Scotsman comes along." The AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow is a restoration of Glasgow's 120-year-old Grade A-listed former Parish Halls. As part of the £100 million Love Loan development, the project has transformed an entire block off George Square into a leisure and residential neighbourhood. The hotel's heritage suites, including The Liberty Suite, showcase original features such as a sweeping stone staircase, period cornicing, a glass ceiling dome, and a stained-glass window depicting Glasgow's famous coat of arms inspired by the legend of St Mungo. The Collector's Hall is now open for bookings.
