Golfzon Social Opens New Venue in the Heart of Brooklyn

NEW YORK — Golfzon Social has opened a new state-of-the-art entertainment complex in the heart of Brooklyn. Golfzon Social is a brand presented jointly by GOLFZON, a global leader in golf simulator innovation, and Troon, a leading company in golf- and club-based leisure and hospitality services.

Designed to be enjoyed by golfers and non-golfers alike, Golfzon Social offers a sophisticated, vibrant, yet relaxed atmosphere. The space is stylishly decorated with murals created by local Brooklyn artists, and it features a chef-curated premium menu, handcrafted cocktails, and a lineup of craft beers. Built on industry-leading audio and visual design, it is set to establish itself as a new Brooklyn destination for guests seeking sports, fine dining, and fun.

Located at the base of 11 Hoyt Street, the approximately 18,000-square-foot new venue is equipped with 16 simulators. Guests can play 240 simulation courses that GOLFZON has precisely mapped from courses around the world, experiencing world-renowned championship courses such as Bay Hill, St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, Kiawah Island, Harbour Town, and PGA National right in downtown Brooklyn.

Golfzon Social aims to deliver a ‘handcrafted’ experience in which every element has been meticulously designed. From the simulator software and hardware developed by GOLFZON to the food, beverage, and hospitality experience provided by Troon, the entire process is composed into a single, highly polished customer experience. RealFood Hospitality, Strategy & Design, Troon’s core operating brand, has curated a menu designed for people to enjoy together. It offers a wide variety of chef-inspired dishes, ranging from familiar, approachable sharing appetizers that pair well with golf to main courses suited for a date or a business meeting.

This in-house, development-driven approach allows Golfzon Social to continually add new courses, dedicated games for non-golfers, children, and families, and menu items that reflect customer feedback and requests.

Sean Pyun, CEO of GOLFZON America, said, “Golfzon Social began with the goal of creating a space that delivers fun and enjoyable experiences beyond expectations at any time of day, and the Brooklyn location takes that experience to the next level,” adding, “We are delighted to bring Golfzon Social’s unique style, innovative technology, and excellent food and beverage experience to Brooklyn-area guests — from skilled golfers, sports fans, and club gatherings to office workers, organizers of charity tournaments or weekly leagues, and groups of friends looking for something different to enjoy in the city.”

As part of its New York City expansion, Golfzon Social is launching a partnership with the NYC Department of Youth & Community Development at its 11 Hoyt location. The collaboration includes a pilot golf clinic program for students and families affiliated with the Ingersoll House Community Center. This new Cornerstone program will teach golf to participants of varying experience levels and establish Golfzon Social as an open, welcoming space that New Yorkers of all ages can comfortably visit.

Non-golfers and first-time guests can also try out the simulators in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, or simply enjoy the lively ambiance along with drinks and premium dining.

GOLFZON’s proprietary TwoVision simulator offers technological capabilities that set it apart from competing products. High-speed camera sensors capture clubhead and ball flight data to provide realistic performance feedback, while a 24-directional moving swing plate reproduces actual stance and lie conditions. It also features a convenient touchscreen monitor kiosk and a virtual caddie function that offers advice to players. With true-to-life graphics and an LED putting guide that reads green slopes, it delivers a more immersive playing experience.
