GOLFZON Social to Open Scarsdale Location with Troon

GOLFZON, the global leader in golf simulator market share, and Troon, the leading provider of golf- and club-based leisure and hospitality services, announced that they will open their second GOLFZON Social location—a state-of-the-art indoor golf entertainment venue—in Scarsdale, New York, on Saturday, August 12.

Located at 691 Central Park Avenue, GOLFZON Social delivers a distinctive social experience by combining GOLFZON TwoVision, the most advanced golf simulator on the market, with a refined and vibrant atmosphere. Designed to be enjoyed by everyone from avid golfers to casual players and non-golfers alike, it features a creative chef-curated menu, handcrafted cocktails, and craft beers. Equipped with an industry-leading audio-visual system, it is set to establish itself as a new leisure destination that goes beyond the traditional sports bar while also offering an ideal setting for watching sports.

The Scarsdale location features 16 TwoVision simulator bays and large TVs installed throughout the venue. With its contemporary atmosphere, the space is well suited for events, gatherings, and special evenings out. The first GOLFZON Social location opened this past February at the Palisades Center in West Nyack, New York.

Tommy Lim, CEO of GOLFZON North America, said, “GOLFZON Social is setting a new standard for off-course entertainment, and the Scarsdale location will bring a new experiential venue to one of the most golf-rich areas in the country. While golf is at the heart of it, the facility is designed so that everyone can enjoy a fun and relaxing time, regardless of their skill level on the course.”

GOLFZON Social offers a variety of ways to socialize, dine, and play golf. Through league and tournament play, both avid and casual golfers can compete virtually against players around the world, while an on-site PGA professional provides lessons and guidance regardless of the season or weather. Non-golfers can take up the game in a welcoming, pressure-free environment, and guests can also enjoy in-house board games and patio games.

Tim Schantz, President and CEO of Troon, said, “GOLFZON has world-class simulator technology, and combined with a distinctive atmosphere and outstanding food and beverage options, GOLFZON Social is a space for everyone. GOLFZON Social is quickly becoming a major player in off-course golf entertainment, and we are very excited about its future growth.”

Troon and GOLFZON announced their strategic partnership in October 2021. Under the partnership, Troon invested in GOLFZON and its market-leading technology, and the two companies plan to further expand GOLFZON Social locations in major North American cities going forward.

One of the biggest factors that sets GOLFZON Social apart from competing brands is the unrivaled technology and innovation delivered by the TwoVision simulator. Unveiled last year, TwoVision is one of the most advanced simulators on the market, featuring high-speed sensors that capture clubhead and ball-flight data to provide near-real performance feedback, a 24-directional moving swing plate that recreates actual stance and lie conditions, an automatic tee-up and ball-retrieval system, a virtual caddie that offers advice to players, and multi-surface mats that replicate fairway, rough, and bunker conditions. It also delivers graphics that are 130% sharper than the previous generation, along with an LED putting guide that reads the green’s slope.

RealFood Hospitality, Strategy & Design, one of Troon’s core operating brands, is responsible for the food and beverage development and design of the GOLFZON Social locations. The menu is designed to be shared, featuring familiar and accessible dishes that pair well with golf—from sharing appetizers to main courses suitable for a date or business meeting, all elevated with the chef’s touch. The food is available for both dine-in and takeout, drawing on the influences of diverse culinary cultures from around the world while also incorporating local ingredients. The beverage menu includes handcrafted cocktails and craft beers, as well as a 64-ounce GOLFZON growler.
