Golfzon, a leader in golf simulator market share, and Troon have partnered to launch “Golfzon Social’’, a state-of-the-art indoor golf entertainment venue. The first two locations are set to open in early 2023 outside of New York City.
Golfzon Social, according to Golfzon, “sets a new standard’’ in social eatertainment that brings together the most technologically advanced golf simulators on the market – Golfzon’s TwoVision – with a stylish, energetic atmosphere for the ultimate social experience. Intended to attract non-golfers, avid golfers, and casual golfers,, each location will feature a creative, chef-driven menu, hand-crafted cocktails, local craft beers and a curated wine list. An audio-visual package will help make Golfzon a destination for sports viewing and attract people looking to go beyond the local sports bar.
The Golfzon Social experience will include league and a resident PGA Professional available for guidance and lessons.
Here’s a closer looK;
Golfzon Social Palisades Center – Opening in January 2023 and located within the popular Palisades Center mall in West Nyack, NY, this location will feature 22 TwoVision simulator bays, a full bar, food truck style dining and flat screen TVs throughout.
Golfzon Scarsdale – Opening in March 2023 and located at 691 Central Park Ave in Scarsdale, NY, it will feature 16 TwoVision bays surrounding a central bar and dining area.
In October 2021, Troon and Golfzon announced a strategic partnership, wherein Troon has invested in Golfzon and their market-leading technology. Golfzon and Troon have an aggressive plan to roll-out additional Golfzon Social locations in the coming years in multiple cities across North America.
“According to the National Golf Foundation the number of players who enjoy the game at off-course venues is now nearly 25 million, and it is a trend that is especially popular among young professionals,” says Tommy Lim, CEO of Golfzon North America. “Golfzon Social is the perfect vehicle to service this large and growing population.”
One of the big differentiators between Golfzon Social and its competitors, according to Linn, is the technology and innovation that comes with the TwoVision simulator. Unveiled earlier this year, it is the most advanced option on the market, featuring high-speed sensors that capture club head and ball flight data for realistic performance feedback; a 24-way directional moving swing plate that recreates true stand and lie conditions; auto-tee and ball retrieval system; a virtual caddie to give players advice; and multi-surface mats to imitate the fairway, rough and bunkers.
The system has graphics that are 130% crisper than previous generations, as well as an LED putting guide to read greens.
“The marriage of a best-in-class food and beverage experience with Golfzon’s state-of-the-art technology will ensure the creation of a special place where people can come together to play, compete, socialize, and most importantly, have fun,” said Tim Schantz, president and chief executive officer, Troon. “These two new gathering spots are unlike anything else in the region. We look forward to bringing Golfzon Social to many other cities in the near future.”
