Project management firm Accurate Retail Services, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, submitted a building permit application with the city to renovate a more than 6,200-square-foot space into an X-Golf indoor golf simulator facility at 15110 E. Indiana Ave., adjacent to JOANN Fabrics & Crafts.
X-Golf is an indoor golf simulator franchise with more than 50 locations nationwide, according to the company’s website. Its locations typically also feature a bar and restaurant.

X-Golf America began developing simulators in Korea in 2005 and launched its franchise operations in the U.S. in 2016.
X-Golf’s simulators allow patrons to play courses from around the world. They use high-speed cameras and laser optics to track players’ games and provide performance analytics.
X-Golf also offers lessons taught by PGA professional players as well as golf club fittings and trade-ins.
A contractor for the Spokane Valley location has not yet been determined.
The estimated renovation cost is $225,000, according to the permit application.
