The sale of simulators to private individuals is a healthy business in the Western world, but so far Golfzon has 17 public locations in the United States after opening offices here in 2017, and the next two are scheduled to open in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Stamford, Conn., this spring. The 12,000-square-foot Stamford facility will introduce “a light version” of the interconnected tournament capability that is so popular in Korea, says Tommy Lim, CEO of Golfzon America. Though the success of Topgolf and the entrance of newcomers like Drive Shack demonstrate the demand for driving ranges that deliver modern technology mixed with entertainment, these are quite “American” venues in that they’re outdoors, take up a lot of space, and can get as boisterous and alcohol-fueled as nightclubs. More in keeping with Korean culture, and perhaps the original spirit of the game, Golfzon bays provide private enclosures for intimate groups who are more likely to enjoy gourmet coffee while playing. An average location with six or seven simulators might see 10,000 visitors a year. Whether the Golfzon way gains traction in the United States remains to be seen.
