ANNAPOLIS, MD — An indoor golf club announced its opening last Friday in the Annapolis Technology Park just off Riva Road. With immersive simulators, Old Line Golf Club members can play virtual rounds on over 350 courses from around the world.

Owners Kyle and Carolyn McDonnell and their partners, Kevin and Vicky Kelly, are longtime Annapolis residents. Kyle McDonnell and Kevin Kelly are childhood friends and have golfed together for over 20 years. Kevin Kelly is also a member of The Cannon Club, a country club in Lothian.

"With my background in hospitality, my goal is to create a space where discerning Annapolis golfers can gather and connect within the local community. I want Old Line to be a hyperlocal, upscale club that fosters both camaraderie and excellence in the game," Kyle McDonnell said in a press release.

"When we look at our prospective clientele, many of them are country club members, or they would be if it weren't for steep initiation fees and long commutes to some of the clubs around here," Kyle McDonnell told the Baltimore Business Journal.

The BBJ reported that there are three golf bays, a 200-square-foot putting green and a lounge.

Old Line is situated behind CVS and sandwiched between TW Perry and SalonCentric. The golf club is located a few doors down from InGrano Bistro Bakery.

St. John Properties owns the office park. Eric Lewellyn represented the landlord, while George Shenas and Collin Mercier of Hyatt Commercial represented Old Line in securing the lease.

"Old Line Golf Club offers Annapolis' most sophisticated indoor golf setting, combining world-class technology with a private, members-only experience. Whether improving your game or enjoying a round with friends, the club provides an unparalleled golfing environment," the press release said.
