Rain at the beach doesn’t mean the fun has to stop.
The Perfect Lie is one of the best indoor activities in Emerald Isle, offering golf simulators, interactive games, drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere for groups, couples, and families.
Whether you’re escaping the weather or just looking for something different to do without having to leave the island, you can play world-class golf courses, compete in fun challenges, or just hang out with a drink and friends.
If you’re searching for things to do in Emerald Isle on a rainy day, this is it.
Two premium indoor golf simulator bays. Both have FSX Play, GSPro, and Foresight Fairgrounds. Only the front bay has Awesome Golf Simulator software.
Each bay can accommodate up to 4 players at a time, but we have had as many as 6 in one bay at one time. It’s not so much the people as it is the golf bags. You’re welcome to rotate players or just hang out and enjoy the atmosphere.
Reservations are recommended, especially on days when the weather sucks. Walk-ins are welcome if bays are available.
It depends on your group size and how much you want to play, but here’s a good rule of thumb:
- 1–2 players: 1 hour is usually enough for a quick round or practice
- 3–4 players: 2 to 3 hours is recommended to enjoy a full experience
Most groups booking for the first time go with 2 hours so they can relax, play multiple holes, and not feel rushed.
If you’re unsure, start with an hour — you can always extend your time if availability allows.
Absolutely. We’re a great spot for small group outings, parties, and casual events. Contact us for more details or visit our events page.
Not at all. Whether you’ve never picked up a club or you play every weekend, our simulators are designed for all skill levels. We also offer games and challenges that are perfect for beginners and groups just looking to have fun. Come in and try our Carnival Games!
We’ve turned some… questionable golf shots into a fun in-house contest featuring damaged ceiling tiles. Guests can vote for their favorite by dropping pocket change into jars — with all proceeds going to Adam’s Closet, a charity of the Swansboro Rotary Club.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own golf clubs for the most realistic experience. If that’s not an option, we’ll have standard right- and left-handed sets available to use free of charge.
It depends on the number of players and pace of play, but most groups can play 9 holes in about an hour.
We offer simulator-based games and challenges, plus board games, card games, steel-tip darts, and a relaxed environment to hang out, have drinks, and enjoy your time. Heck, there might even be a puzzle started that you can finish.
Absolutely nothing—it’s free to play. Step up, call your shot, and let the darts fly. –Barbecue Sauce.
Clothes, silly! Preferably, a Perfect Lie Golf Bar T-Shirt! The 90’s called and said leave your metal golf spikes are home.
Heck yeah! Don’t let the “bar” theme scare you. We simply ask that the younger players have an adult supervising them. We have a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages. Pepsi’s, Gatorade, Alani, and there is always water. Oh, and some of the best cookies you can eat from Jiggle Bellies Bakery!
Absolutely! Just know that golf swings can be loud and your pup might not like the sound. If golf were silent, our dog Hudson would be here all the time.
Yes. We offer a fine selection of beer, wine, THC beverages, and non-alcoholic options.
