Q1. How closely is CITY GOLF modeled after a real golf course?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CITY GOLF was designed with a ‘natural playing experience’ as the top priority. Minimizing the sense of disconnect between the virtual and the real is the core design principle. The experience combines the sounds of birds and water that make you feel as if you have arrived at an actual golf course, landscaping technology that creates natural scenery such as ponds, and green-area construction technology that recreates greens and bunkers just like a real fairway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining a constant temperature of 15\u201318 degrees regardless of the season, and offering an open feel that takes advantage of ceilings around 18m high and natural lighting, CITY GOLF\u2014although an indoor space\u2014was crafted with the greatest care to deliver the immersive sensation of playing on an outdoor course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2462 Check the ball position<\/strong> \u2014 When you step onto the green, a laser point precisely marks the location of your ball. There is no need to go looking for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2463 Short-game play<\/strong> \u2014 You play your approach and putting on the actual green. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2464 Enter strokes on the tablet<\/strong> \u2014 When the hole ends, you enter your short-game strokes directly on the tablet PC installed at each hole. They are combined with the strokes taken in the booth to record your final score.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Q3. What do people say after actually playing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even professional players have remarked that “the difficulty of the greens is no joke,” a testament to how the slopes and speeds are recreated at a level comparable to a real course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many players were especially impressed by the way a laser marker precisely indicates the ball’s position on the field. Being able to instantly see with your own eyes exactly where on the real green the ball has come to rest makes the approach itself feel quite novel, and the reaction is that\u2014despite being indoors\u2014you can intuitively grasp the result of your shot just as if you were playing on a real course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As these elements add up, the common review is that you naturally focus on your shots without being conscious of the fact that you are indoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What level of golf skill do you need to enjoy it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Regardless of skill level, CITY GOLF is a space where you can try out a wide range of shots following the same flow as a real course. You can experience the entire process of a hole\u2014from the tee shot to the approach and putting\u2014just as you would in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say the greens are difficult, but by design CITY GOLF lets you visually check the green in advance just before taking your shot. In other words, you can see for yourself how the slope runs and where the hole is, and then plan your shot strategy accordingly. Being able to check the green and hole position in real time right before a shot and adjust your strategy can sharpen the very essence of golf\u2014judgment, choice, and execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more challenging the green feels, the more fun it is to scout it out in advance and devise a plan of attack. Whether it is your first visit or you have played for years, CITY GOLF is a place where everyone becomes a fresh strategist in front of the green. It is a new experience impossible on a real golf course or in conventional simulator golf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
