Arcis Golf—a premier operator of 88 private, resort, and daily-fee courses in the United States—has signed a strategic partnership with GOLFZON America, a global leader in golf simulator technology. The company’s courses will be added to GOLFZON America’s worldwide library, allowing them to be played on state-of-the-art simulators. Initially, 10 Arcis Golf courses will be showcased.
“This partnership enhances the visibility of our premier properties around the country and provides our members and the public with innovative ways to enjoy golf year-round,” said Blake Walker, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Arcis Golf.
Among the Arcis Golf courses that will be included in the simulator library are Champions Retreat Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia; the award-winning, recently transformed Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine, Texas, which is distinguished as the first and only NFL-themed golf club in the world; and the two highly acclaimed layouts—Raptor and Talon—at Grayhawk Golf Club, a national resort destination in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Over the past four years, Arcis Golf has invested more than $175 million in property upgrades, new amenities, personnel, training, and technology to create extraordinary lifestyle experiences for its members, guests, and customers. As part of the complete clubhouse transformation unveiled in 2025, The Club at Frisco Farms in Frisco, Texas, is the first Arcis property to feature a GOLFZON TwoVisionNX simulator with additional property installations planned for 2026.
GOLFZON America boasts a worldwide library of over 300 courses, including 50 in the United States, available via the most technologically advanced golf simulators in the world, protected by over 407 patents. When the mapping project is complete, Arcis Golf courses will represent more than half of the U.S. inventory.
Sean Pyun, President and CEO of GOLFZON America, noted that golf operators are increasingly relying on technology companies like GOLFZON to boost growth and improve the golf experience. “We’re proud to partner with Arcis, an innovator in its own right, to bring immersive, year-round golf to more players and venues across the country.”
Founded in South Korea in 2000, GOLFZON has grown to be the #1 retailer and course operator in that country and the most popular simulator brand in the world. In 2025, GOLFZON had 6.1 million users play 103 million rounds at 12,697 worldwide locations in 41 countries. The company’s simulators tracked 8.4 billion shots last year.
The National Golf Foundation (NGF) data shows massive growth in golf simulator play—nearly tripling since 2022—with millions of Americans using them as their primary way to play golf. Simulators are attracting younger and more diverse players, even boosting on-course play, with the trend extending beyond entertainment to skill development and demographic expansion. Technological advancements are likely to further enhance off-course golf offerings.
Almost two-thirds of beginners indicate having played some form of the game away from the course, according to NGF research. The total number of simulator and screen golf users in the U.S. has grown steadily from 3.8 million users in 2015 to 8.1 million in 2024. Non-golfers who have had some type of experience with off-course golf are five to six times more likely than those without to indicate they’re “very interested” in giving green grass golf a try.
