Elmhurst Golf, Racing Simulator Business Opens

ELMHURST, IL – A business that offers golf and racing simulators recently opened in north Elmhurst.

Gem Sims is at 846 N. York St., just north of Yorky's restaurant.

"We have combined two kinds of simulators in one facility in a very cozy, family-friendly environment," co-owner Mario Jonuzi said in an email to Patch.

On the golf side, Gem Sims features three simulators that are powered by a major company in the business, Trackman.

"Our golf simulators offer 300+ golf courses for adults and kids and are known for their unmatched accuracy whether you are perfecting your swing or enjoying a round on your favorite course. Our Trackman simulators offer everything you need for an exceptional golfing experience," Jonuzi said.

The other side is for racing simulators, using iRacing.

"These racing simulators are super fun for any age group over 14 years old and offer an experience like no other when it comes to an immersive racing experience," Jonuzi said. "Feel the power of all your favorite race cars from sports car racing to Formula One."

He said Gem Sims is designed to be able to host any type of event because it can serve food from Yorky's next door. Gem Sims' other co-owner, Sal Sadik, co-owns Yorky's, which is a family business.

Gem Sims also offers beer, wine and seltzer, Jonuzi said.
