Where Is the Nearest TrackMan to Irving?
The nearest TrackMan to Irving and Las Colinas is at Golf Center of Arlington, 1301 NE Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington, TX 76006, about 20–30 minutes via SH 161, SH 183 or SH 360 depending on traffic. Each session is supervised by a professional, runs outdoors on the real range, records swing video and ends with an emailed web report.
Irving golfers come to Golf Center of Arlington in two modes: alone, to get honest numbers before a client scramble or a club purchase, and in a group, when the office wants a golf outing that does not require a tee time. This page covers both, starting with the drive.
Where is the nearest TrackMan to Irving and Las Colinas?
Golf Center of Arlington is at 1301 NE Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington, TX 76006, about two miles north of the Arlington Entertainment District and south of Irving down SH 360. It is the closest place for most Irving golfers to get a supervised TrackMan launch monitor session on a real outdoor range.
From Las Colinas and the Urban Center
SH 161 (President George Bush Turnpike) south to I-30 west, then north on SH 360 or Collins Street to NE Green Oaks Blvd. About 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.
From south Irving and Loop 12
SH 183 west to SH 360 south, exit at NE Green Oaks Blvd and head west. About 20–25 minutes depending on traffic.
From the DFW Airport area and north Irving
SH 360 south the whole way; Green Oaks Blvd is north of I-30, so you exit before the stadiums. About 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, which makes it workable between a landing and your first meeting.
Evening rush hour on SH 183 and SH 161 is the main variable, and event days at AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field slow the last two miles. The Golf Center of Arlington directions page has a map link for live routing.
What does a supervised TrackMan session include?
TrackMan is a Doppler-radar launch monitor: it reads club and ball behavior from the changing frequency of microwaves reflected off each, the same way weather radar works, and it films your swing at the same time. At Golf Center of Arlington the session is run by a professional supervisor, outdoors, on the real range with 12 color-coded target greens. The session price is not published on this page; see current pricing when you book.
- Ten named metrics: Club Speed, Ball Speed, Smash Factor, Launch Angle, Spin Rate, Carry, Attack Angle, Club Path, Face Angle and Dynamic Loft.
- Swing video recorded alongside the numbers so you can see the cause, not only the effect.
- A web report emailed at the end of the session with all data and videos, ready to forward to a coach, a fitter or a colleague who plays.
- A supervisor who keeps the session on task, which matters when you have one hour between meetings and one question to answer.
The technology itself is described on the TrackMan at Golf Center of Arlington page. If you are wondering whether this is the same thing as a simulator, it is not; is TrackMan the same as a golf simulator explains the difference.
Traveling for work without your clubs?
This is the most common question from Irving business travelers, and the honest answer has two parts. TrackMan measures the club in your hands, so your own clubs give you your own numbers. If they are in the trunk, bring them. If they are at home in another state, ask the staff at Golf Center of Arlington about options when you arrive; the range's guidance is "bring your own if you have them, or ask us about options," and no rental fee is published here, so do not plan around one.
Book the session, then arrive 20 minutes early and buy a medium bucket (60 balls, $21, or $15 for members) to warm up in a covered, heated bay with a Toptracer screen. From 9 AM to 6 PM regular bucket prices are 30% off; mention the special at check-in. Golf Center of Arlington is open Monday–Saturday 8 AM–11 PM and Sunday 8 AM–10 PM, so early and late slots both work around a business schedule.

Book a TrackMan Session
TrackMan session or Toptracer bays for a group from the office?
Irving companies ask this when planning an outing, and the answer is usually "one for the golfers, the other for everyone." Every covered bay and grass hitting area at Golf Center of Arlington has Toptracer, and it needs no golf experience. TrackMan is a one-golfer-at-a-time supervised booking.
Book TrackMan when
- One or two people want a measured, supervised session with club data and swing video
- Someone is buying clubs soon and wants numbers first; see why a TrackMan session before buying clubs saves money
- A colleague is prepping for a client tournament and wants to fix one specific miss
- You want an emailed report to keep and compare later
Book Toptracer bays when
- The group is mixed: golfers, beginners and people who have never held a club
- You want games with a leaderboard, such as Closest to the Pin, Long Drive, Points Game and Virtual Golf at Pebble Beach or St Andrews
- Bays should be side by side; groups of about eight or more should call ahead, and 15 or more should reserve
- Weather is a concern; the bays are covered and heated, so the outing is rain or shine
The two tools are compared in detail on the hub page Shot Tracking and Swing Data: Toptracer and TrackMan Compared.
Can you turn a tune-up into a team outing?
Yes, and Irving offices do it regularly because Golf Center of Arlington is a short drive for staff coming from Las Colinas, the airport corridor and south Irving alike. Corporate team-building, client appreciation, retreats and holiday parties all run here, with staff help on custom packages for any group size. No event package prices are published, so plan on a conversation with the events team.
Toptracer packages
Virtual golf games, skill challenges and leaderboards in the covered bays, booked hourly or by the half-day. No golf experience required, which is the point for a mixed office group.
Indoor private event room
Flexible seating and layouts for a presentation, awards, check-in or a raffle before everyone hits the bays. Useful when the outing doubles as a meeting.
The bar
50+ beers including local craft options, wine, canned cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, plus light snacks. Outside food is allowed; coolers and outside beverages are not.

How do you book a TrackMan session from Irving?
- Pick a time that survives SH 183 traffic. Mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays are the most predictable from Las Colinas; evenings work too because the range has night lighting.
- Book online. Use the TrackMan button on this page. A professional supervisor is assigned to your slot, which is why it cannot be a walk-up. See current pricing when you book.
- Decide about clubs. Bring yours if you can; if you are traveling without them, ask about options when you arrive.
- Arrive early for a bucket. The range needs no reservation and no membership; walk-ins are welcome every day.
- Read the report on the way back up SH 360. As a passenger, ideally. The emailed web report includes every metric and your swing videos.

Frequently asked questions
Is Golf Center of Arlington closer to Irving than a Dallas simulator studio?
For most of Irving, yes. Golf Center of Arlington is about 20–30 minutes south via SH 161, SH 183 or SH 360 depending on traffic, and it offers something a simulator studio does not: a supervised TrackMan session outdoors on a real range, with swing video and an emailed report, plus Toptracer bays and a bar for whoever came with you. The drive from Las Colinas is one turnpike and one highway.
Can I book TrackMan on a business trip if I fly into DFW?
Yes. Golf Center of Arlington is a straight run down SH 360 from the airport area, about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, and it is open seven days a week, year-round, Monday–Saturday 8 AM–11 PM and Sunday 8 AM–10 PM. Book the session online before you travel, bring your clubs if you checked them, or ask about options when you arrive. The report is emailed at the end of the session, so nothing needs to be picked up later.
Can several coworkers do TrackMan during one office outing?
Each TrackMan session is a supervised, one-golfer booking, so book consecutive slots for the people who want numbers and put everyone else in Toptracer bays with games like Closest to the Pin and Long Drive. Groups of about eight or more should call 817-469-9005 ahead of time; groups of 15 or more should reserve. The events team can build a custom package around both.
What should I ask the supervisor to focus on?
Bring one specific problem. "My driver starts left and slices" points the supervisor at Face Angle and Club Path. "I hit my irons short" points at Attack Angle, Dynamic Loft and Smash Factor. A focused session produces a report you can act on, and the swing video shows the move behind each number. If you have a lesson planned, forward the report to the instructor beforehand.
Is the TrackMan session weather-dependent?
The session runs outdoors on the real range, so severe weather can affect it; call 817-469-9005 if the forecast looks bad for your slot. The rest of the facility is built for rain or shine: 18 covered, heated bays with Toptracer, an indoor private event room, and a bar, so an Irving group outing goes ahead even when the radar session has to move.
