Walnut Creek indoor golf: private self-service TrackMan studios with different guest charges

Smash Box in Shadelands and Scratch Lab on Mount Diablo Boulevard both offer self-service TrackMan golf in Walnut Creek, but their group economics differ. Smash Box markets a whole private bay with guests included, subject to conflicting guest wording; Scratch Lab explicitly adds a charge for each extra party member.

Official studio pages checked October 17, 2026. Smash Box's FAQ and booking products allow five complimentary guests, but its policy text says three. Confirm the allowance in writing for larger groups. Its public hourly and Flex Pass windows are narrower than twenty-four-hour member access.

Smash Box Golf

Walnut Creek — 2658 Shadelands Drive, at Shadelands Sports Mall

An unmanned single-bay TrackMan studio offers public hourly booking at $60 per hour from 6 AM–midnight; memberships advertise twenty-four-hour access. The booking products and FAQ say up to five guests free, but separate policy text says three, so confirm your group. Bring your own clubs. Door and bay PINs arrive after booking, and the door code activates five minutes before the session. Reservations use thirty-minute increments for up to four hours.

Scratch Lab Golf

Walnut Creek — 1637 Mount Diablo Boulevard

Public TrackMan simulator access is advertised at $30 per half-hour, plus $10 per half-hour for each additional party member. Membership is not required.

Coaching and fitting are separate services, not part of the basic simulator-access quote.

Indoor golf in Walnut Creek: FAQ

Can a public Smash Box customer book at 3 AM?

The hourly public product lists 6 AM–midnight. Twenty-four-hour access is advertised for membership plans, so do not apply the general all-hours headline to a public rental.

How many friends may I bring to Smash Box Walnut Creek?

Its FAQ and booking products say five complimentary guests, while policy text says three. Ask the operator to confirm your group's allowance before paying.

How do I enter the unmanned Smash Box studio?

The operator sends door and bay PINs through the confirmation and TrackMan app. It says the door code activates five minutes before the reserved start time.

What would two people pay for a half-hour at Scratch Lab's posted rate?

The displayed structure is $30 per half-hour plus $10 per half-hour for the additional party member: $40 for two people before any checkout adjustments.

Which Walnut Creek studio says clubs are supplied?

Scratch Lab's FAQ says full club sets and premium balls are available at each simulator. Smash Box says to bring your own clubs because it does not provide them.

Does Scratch Lab require membership for simulator access?

No. Its FAQ allows guest reservations, and the public simulator-access product is separate from coaching, fitting and optional memberships.
