GOLFZON America Forms Strategic Partnership with Arcis Golf

Golfers around the world will be able to experience Arcis Golf’s premium course portfolio through industry-leading simulators.

DALLAS, TEXAS, USA — Arcis Golf, a premium golf course operator running 88 private, resort, and daily-fee golf courses across the United States, announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with GOLFZON America, a global leader in golf simulator technology. Through this partnership, Arcis Golf’s courses will be added to GOLFZON America’s global course library, making them playable on state-of-the-art simulators. Ten Arcis Golf courses will be unveiled first.

Blake Walker, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Arcis Golf, said, “This partnership raises awareness of Arcis Golf’s premium assets located across the United States and offers an innovative way for both members and the general public to enjoy golf year-round.”

The Arcis Golf courses slated to be included in the GOLFZON simulator library feature Champions Retreat Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia; Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine, Texas, known as the world’s first and only NFL-themed golf club; and the two prestigious courses, Raptor and Talon, at Grayhawk Golf Club, a flagship resort-style golf destination in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Over the past four years, Arcis Golf has invested more than $175 million in facility improvements, new amenities, staff, training, and technology to deliver differentiated lifestyle experiences to its members, guests, and customers. As part of a comprehensive clubhouse renovation unveiled in 2025, The Club at Frisco Farms in Frisco, Texas, became the first Arcis Golf asset to introduce GOLFZON’s TwoVisionNX simulator, with additional installations planned for 2026.

GOLFZON America maintains a library of more than 300 courses worldwide, including 50 courses in the United States. These courses can be played on world-class golf simulators protected by more than 407 patents. Once this mapping project is complete, Arcis Golf courses will account for more than half of GOLFZON’s U.S. course library.

Sean Pyun, President and CEO of GOLFZON America, explained that golf operators are increasingly turning to technology companies like GOLFZON to secure growth drivers and enhance the golf experience. He said, “GOLFZON is proud to partner with Arcis Golf, an innovative company, to bring an immersive, year-round golf experience to more golfers and facilities across the United States.”

Founded in South Korea in 2000, GOLFZON has grown into the country’s No. 1 golf equipment distribution and golf course operating company and is now established as the world’s most popular golf simulator brand. As of 2025, 6.1 million users played 103 million rounds at 12,697 locations across 41 countries worldwide, and GOLFZON simulators recorded 8.4 billion shots’ worth of data last year.

According to data from the National Golf Foundation (NGF), golf simulator play has grown nearly threefold since 2022, with millions of Americans now using simulators as their primary way to play golf. Simulators are attracting a younger and more diverse golfer base and are also having a positive impact on expanding on-course golf participation. This trend is extending beyond mere entertainment into the realms of skill improvement and broadening the golfer base, and technological advances are expected to further elevate the off-course golf experience going forward.

According to an NGF survey, about two-thirds of new entrants to golf have experienced golf in some form off the course. The number of simulator and screen golf users in the United States has steadily increased from 3.8 million in 2015 to 8.1 million in 2024. In addition, non-golfers who have experienced off-course golf were found to be five to six times more likely than others to say they would like to try playing golf on an actual course.
