For many people playing golf in Hong Kong, playing on a golf simulator Hong Kong is going to be the main way they learn the game of golf. With the Hong Kong Government doing absolutely nothing to promote the game of golf in Hong Kong, a golf simulator Hong Kong is the only way for people to get a tasted of what it’s like to play golf in Hong Kong.
What exactly is a golf simulator Hong Kong? A golf simulator Hong Kong can mean many things as there are so many golf simulators on the market, from full screen commercial golf simulators to personal home golf simulators that you can buy for less than HKD$1000. I this article about golf simulator Hong Kong, we’ll go over the golf simulators in Hong Kong that are available and they ones you can play. We’ll also do a review of every golf simulator Hong Kong in another article in the future.
Firstly we’ll cover Full Swing Golf Simulators in Hong Kong, these are a golf simulator Hong Kong that have been at various places including perhaps the most famous golf simulator Hong Kong centre – City Links Golf Lounge. Full Swing Golf simulators have a few big name Pro’s including Ian Poulter and Tiger Woods. We have first hand experience using this golf simulator Hong Kong and they’re not bad. Golf Hideaway in Hong Kong also uses Full Swing Golf Simulators and Hong Kong golfers can enjoy over 50 different golf courses, driving range modes. The system is quite accurate but nothing compared to a Trackman. However, they game play is realistic and it’s great for things like Closest To The Pin competitions and Long Drive Competitions. City Golf on Wynham Street also has this golf simulator Hong Kong and we recommend you go check it out if you’re wanting to see for yourself what a Full Swing Golf Simulator is like.
The most recent golf simulator Hong Kong to be in use is Golfzon. Golfzon golf simulators can be found at a new golf center in Cheung Sha Wan called Green Live (I know). Green Live Hong Kong has two locations, one in Cheung Sha Wan and now one in Kwun Tong and their centres are big. We’ve been to the one in Cheung Sha Wan and have used Golfzon golf simulator Hong Kong also in Japan, where Golfzon are very popular. The game play is similar to Full Swing Golf simulators, and it’s really a matter of personal opinion which is better.
The other type of golf simulator Hong Kong is FlightScope and Foresight, although these aren’t really golf simulators, more what we would call launch monitors, which we’ll do another post on soon at Golf Lessons Hong Kong. Anyway FlightScope and Foresight both have add-ons that turn them into golf simulators allowing you to play golf on golf courses and measure your swing and ball data in a driving range mode. The advantage of this golf simulator Hong Kong is that you can get a lot more accurate feedback on what your ball is doing.
Full Swing Golf and Golfzon golf simulators are really better for actually simulating game play on a golf course. The graphics are realistic and game play realistic. Flightscope and Foresight are really launch monitors with the ability to simulate game play, in that order.
We actually have a mobile golf simulator if anybody wants to buy one for their home. It’s from TruGolf, which is the company that develops the software for Full Swing Golf and this golf simulator Hong Kong would be ideal for anybody looking to buy a golf simulator for their own home in Hong Kong.
