IRVINE, Calif., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Trace3, a pioneer in business transformation solutions, today announced an alliance with Drive Shack (NYSE: DS), a leading owner and operator of golf-related leisure and entertainment businesses. As part of the new relationship, Trace3 designed, procured and implemented the technology infrastructure to power an immersive, VR golfing experience for Drive Shack's customers in the company's newly launched 60,000-square-foot flagship complex in Orlando, Fla. The high-tech facility features 90 hitting bays, with a 220-yard range, a full-service restaurant and bar, an outdoor lounge and three fully equipped meeting and event rooms for parties up to 1,000.
