Tucked away in a corner of the North Shore of Montreal lies the UFO, an indoor golf facility that feels like a time capsule from a bygone era of space exploration.
As soon as you step inside, you’re transported back to a time when space stations were the height of futuristic ambition, yet the aesthetics are decidedly vintage.
The rotative doors to access the dome feel like a hermetic chamber. The flickering fluorescent lights, and the sounds of old machines give the space a nostalgic, almost secretive atmosphere, like stepping into an old NASA base circa the 1960s.
It’s a unique blend of old-school sci-fi charm and functional sport, evoking the sense of a forgotten training mission where golf takes on a whole new dimension.
The atmosphere is further enhanced by the sounds—an ambient, almost mechanical hum that echoes through the entire space, punctuated by the occasional ping of a golf ball hitting the targets at the back. There's a certain old-world charm—or perhaps, dissonance—that sets the tone. The space has a distinct "used" feel, with worn walls, faded carpeting, and the unmistakable scent of dust in the air.
Whether you're hitting the simulators or perfecting your wedges, you’ll feel like you're on a mission to a distant world, even if you're just a few feet off the ground.
