Worcester State’s Wellness Center Richard M. Korzec Golf Simulator combines pinpoint-accurate swing analysis in a highly realistic, three-dimensional visual golf environment. The software allows users to play replications of some of the world’s most famous golf courses. Up to four players at a time can play world-class courses, including St. Andrew’s, Pebble Beach, and TPC Network courses, using their own clubs.

The golf simulator is available to all Wellness Center members at a rate of $10/hour per person. Reserve your time through the Wellness Center portal. Visit wsulancers.com for more information about the golf simulator.

Dedicated walkers and joggers can enjoy the center’s elevated track, which overlooks the competition gym. This is a great option if you are looking to avoid the heat of summer, cold of winter, and inclement weather any time of year. It provides a quality alternative to walking or jogging along busy city streets or on back roads without sidewalks.
