The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) has recently announced a collaboration with LaunchPad Golf to establish the company’s first golf facility in the United States. The new facility will be located in Prior Lake, adjacent to the Mystic Lake Casino Hotel.
The two-story building, spanning over an area of 25,000 square feet, will comprise a 160,000-square-foot driving range equipped with cutting-edge technology, 40 heated golf suites, two bars, and a full-service restaurant. With a capacity to accommodate over 500 people, the facility promises to provide a unique golfing experience to its visitors. The construction is expected to commence in the coming spring, and the facility is set to open its doors to the public in mid-2025.
“We are excited to welcome LaunchPad Golf to the U.S. and expand our tribe’s golf offerings,” said SMSC Chairman Cole Miller. “This year-round golf entertainment enterprise will provide an incredible experience for guests of all skill levels. It will be an excellent complement to our premium golf course, The Meadows at Mystic Lake.”
LaunchPad Golf is a renowned Canadian company that specializes in advanced technology for golf entertainment. The company uses award-winning Inrange radar technology to provide superior ball tracking, creating an immersive golfing experience. Along with golf practice and virtual courses, LaunchPad Golf offers exclusive social games, such as bay-versus-bay gaming. Whether you are a seasoned golfer or a beginner, LaunchPad Golf promises a fun experience for everyone.
The Prior Lake venue is LaunchPad Golf’s first in the United States, following the establishment of two locations in Canada. LaunchPad Golf’s current locations have successfully complemented other award-winning golf courses, including Mickelson National Golf Club and Heritage Point, by offering elevated, year-round golf experiences. LaunchPad Golf has partnered with SMSC and The Meadows at Mystic Lake to provide an exceptional golfing experience.
“LaunchPad Golf is not your average driving range. We offer the most innovative technology to elevate your golf experience, plus a lively atmosphere and delicious food and drinks,” said LaunchPad Golf Owner and CEO Barry Ehlert. “We look forward to partnering with the SMSC and bringing the LaunchPad Golf experience to Minnesota and the U.S. market.”
