The golf bays
Golf simulator bays in Sydney

Two Golfzon bays
On George St in Sydney, the casino keeps two Golfzon bays, named Bay 1 and Bay 2. Each one takes up to 6 golfers, so the pair can hold 12 players at once. The system offers over 200 courses. Clubs are provided in-house, so visitors arriving by air into Sydney or off the ferry in North Sydney need not pack a set.
Entry follows the same rule as the casino. Guests must be 19 or older to enter the golf simulators. Anyone who appears to be under 30 must show valid government photo ID to be served alcohol. Halifax has no simulators, so these two bays exist only in Sydney.
Tee times and the 10 PM cut-off
Tee times run from 11 AM to 3 AM daily, on Atlantic time. The last booking is taken at 10 PM, even though play continues for hours after that. Every booking lasts at least 1 hour. When the bay is free next, a 30-minute extension can be added.
Holiday hours are not published, so a call to the casino line, 902-563-7777, settles them. Gaming-floor hours are not published either, and the casino line, 902-563-7777, is the way to check them before a visit.
Booking a bay by phone
Simulator reservations are made by phone at 902-563-7703, up to one month in advance. Groups and corporate events use a separate line, 902-563-7794. A booking is removed if the players have not arrived 15 minutes after the start time. The airport lies 11 km east of the casino in a straight line, and the ferry terminal in North Sydney 10 km northwest; roads run longer than both figures.
Celtic Junction Bar & Grille serves a full menu, and beverage service is available during regular business hours. Its hours and its place in the building are not published.
