Which Knocking Turtle Membership Fits Your Game? A Real Talk Guide
Six memberships. A lot of acronyms and price tags. If you've stood in our lobby scratching your head trying to figure out which plan actually fits your life, you're not alone — so let's break it down like we would if you asked us over the counter.
Start With How You Actually Play
Before you look at price, think about your week. Are you sneaking in a quick round on a Tuesday night after class? Are you trying to make golf a whole lifestyle with a gym routine attached? Are you the friend group that needs a standing spot for game day? Knocking Turtle Village and Venue built these memberships around real Lexington schedules, not some one-size-fits-all package.
If You're a Student on a Budget
The Student Simulator membership at $40/mo is the easiest entry point we offer. It's built for the college crowd or anyone still figuring out if simulator golf is going to be a regular habit or a once-in-a-while treat. Low commitment, real access — no reason to let a busy semester keep you off the course.
If You Live Right Here in Lexington
Our Resident membership ($75/mo) is our nod to the neighborhood. If Lexington is home, this plan is priced to make Knocking Turtle feel like your local hangout, not a special occasion. It's the membership most of our regulars land on once they realize how often they actually want to stop in.
If You Just Want More Bay Time
Silver Simulator booking ($125/mo) is for the golfer who wants priority access to a bay without adding extras they won't use. Simple, straightforward, more time on the simulator.
If You're Here for the Whole Scene
The Game Day Den ($175/mo) is for our sports-bar crowd as much as our golfers. If you want a go-to spot for game days, group hangouts, and simulator rounds mixed in whenever you feel like it, this one's built for you.
If You Want Golf and Fitness in One Membership
Silver Plus ($175/mo) and Gold Simulator and Gym ($225/mo) both combine simulator access with our gym. Silver Plus is the balanced option for golfers who also want to stay active. Gold is our top-tier plan — the most access, the most flexibility, and the best fit if Knocking Turtle is going to be part of your regular routine, not just an occasional stop.
Quick Reference
Student Simulator $40/mo · Resident $75/mo · Silver Simulator $125/mo · Game Day Den $175/mo · Silver Plus (gym + sim) $175/mo · Gold (gym + sim) $225/mo
You're Not Locked In Forever
A lot of folks start with the Student or Resident plan and move up once they realize how much they're actually using their time here. There's no wrong door to walk through first — just pick the one that matches your life right now. Life changes, semesters end, routines shift, and your membership can shift with you.
It's About the Community, Too
Membership here isn't just about bay access — it's about having a place in Lexington where people know your name and your swing. Order your favorites from DoorDash, pull up a spot on game day, and settle in with the group. Whether you're grinding on your short game or just here for game day with friends, that's the whole point of Knocking Turtle Village and Venue.
Book a bay online or give us a call, and we'll help you figure out which membership actually makes sense for you — no pressure, no upsell, just an honest recommendation.
