At MiGolf, we donāt just play the gameāweāre constantly reinventing it. And right now, thereās one place where the future of golf tech is quietly being shaped: MiGolf Dartington.
From dynamic booking flows to experimental game modes, Dartington has become our live testing groundāwhat we lovingly call our āinnovation playground.ā
šÆ Built to Trial, Not Just to Tee Off
Dartington was designed from day one to be flexible. Itās where our team at MiGolf Operation LabsĀ trial new:
Booking journeys and pricing experiences
Advanced simulator game formats
Smart feedback systems that learn and adapt
Hybrid events that combine real-world and digital play
But what makes this location truly special isnāt the techāitās you, the players who walk through our doors and help us refine it.
š Real Feedback, Real Impact
Whether itās a comment left at the bar or a quick rating after your session, your feedback fuels innovation. A few examples from just the past month:
Booking Flow Tweaks: After customers said choosing simulators was confusing, we introduced an interactive floor mapĀ that boosted booking confidence and reduced staff clarifications.
Game Mode Adjustments: Families told us certain challenges were too tough for younger playersāso our devs added āJunior Boost Mode,ā now in active testing.
Lighting & Ambience Feedback: Player comfort mattered, so we installed zone-controlled lighting to better adapt to different event types like parties vs. practice sessions.
š¬ Why It Matters
Unlike a corporate HQ or a closed-door lab, Dartingtonās open doors and diverse community give us unfiltered, real-time insights. And thatās something no simulator data alone can replicate.
Here, innovation isnāt theoretical. Itās local, and itās lived.
š Whatās Coming Next?
Thanks to your input, hereās whatās currently in the works at Dartington:
Smart Session Presets: AI has started to let us customise each session to fit your play style, event type, or skill level.
Gamified Booking System: Earn points just by booking, showing up, and challenging friends.
New Event Modes: Including āBattle of the Baysā and āTeam Trivia + Tee-Offā nights.
And yes, youāll be the first to try it.
