If you are visiting South Korea, there is one unique indoor activity you absolutely cannot miss: Korean Screen Golf (Indoor Golf Simulators).
Whether you are a scratch golfer wanting to keep your swing sharp, or a complete beginner who has never held a club, Korean screen golf offers a premium, private, and incredibly fun experience. Here is why you need to add a round of screen golf to your Korea travel itinerary.
1. No Gear? No Problem (Everything is Provided)
One of the biggest hurdles for tourists is not having their golf clubs. In Korea, you don’t need them. When you walk into popular franchises like Golfzon Park, you will find rows of high-quality golf bags (from brands like Bridgestone, TaylorMade, etc.) ready for you to use.
They also provide golf shoes and fresh gloves in various sizes for free. You literally just need to show up in comfortable clothes.
2. Mind-Blowing Technology (TWOVISION NX)
Korean screen golf is not just a simple video game; it is a high-tech tracking system. The latest systems feature floor and ceiling projectors that make you feel like you are standing on a real fairway.
Auto-Tee System: No need to bend down! The machine automatically dispenses the ball and places it on the tee at your preferred height.
Detailed Swing Analysis: After every shot, the kiosk shows a video replay of your clubface at impact, measuring your club path, ball speed, and spin rate. It is the perfect environment to practice and improve your swing.
3. A Private Lounge Just for You
Unlike regular driving ranges, you get a private room for your group. The facilities are incredibly clean and comfortable. Most places offer a complimentary refreshment bar inside or near the room, complete with an espresso machine, an ice maker, and various teas. There are even designated indoor smoking rooms for convenience, ensuring the main playing area stays perfectly fresh.
4. Pro Tip: Delivery Food & Drinks
The absolute best part of Korean screen golf culture? You can eat and drink while you play! It is very common to order Korean fried chicken, pizza, or Chinese food directly to your private room. Grabbing a cold beer and eating crispy chicken while hitting drives with your friends is the ultimate K-Culture experience.
How to book:
While most places require a Korean phone number for a reservation, you can often just walk into a neighborhood Golfzon during weekday mornings or afternoons. If you are staying at a hotel, ask the concierge to call and book a room for you!
