GOLFZON Launches Dart-Based ‘ARCADE’ Software Globally, Adding Fun to Simulator Golf

STERLING, Virginia, USA — GOLFZON, a company specializing in golf simulators, announced that it has launched its ‘ARCADE’ software, which lets players enjoy dart-based golf games, in the global market. The software began rolling out on August 1, with a focus on the U.S. market.

ARCADE is a new interactive gaming platform that reflects GOLFZON’s mission to ‘present golf in ways never seen before.’ It is distinguished by combining the traditional golf swing with the fun of arcade games, and is designed so that golfers of all ages can enjoy golf in a fresh way. Participants earn points by hitting shots toward a 55-yard-diameter dartboard target placed in the center of a water hazard.

Tee shot distances are organized by difficulty into Easy mode at 55 yards, Normal mode at 110 yards, and Hard mode at 165 yards. Players earn points depending on where on the dartboard-shaped green their shot comes to rest. The platform also offers a scorecard for multiple players to enjoy together, as well as a World Standing leaderboard for global interactive competition.

Tommy Lim, CEO of GOLFZON America, said, “Our vision for ARCADE is to provide a new play experience that goes beyond the space of the golf course and to draw more new players into golf,” adding, “ARCADE not only heightens the fun of golf but is also a fitting platform for entrepreneurs looking to start a family-friendly entertainment business.” He went on to say, “This is an effort that continues GOLFZON’s direction of allowing anyone to enjoy golf in an enjoyable way.”

GOLFZON plans to continue unveiling new games and technology updates throughout the remainder of 2017 and at the PGA Merchandise Show, to be held from January 23 to 26, 2018, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, USA.
