GOLFZON, a global leader in advanced indoor golf simulators and screen golf technology, has supported some of the most remote research communities on Earth for more than 17 years. Since 2009, the company has provided commercial-grade golf simulators and maintenance, free of charge, to scientists stationed at research bases in Antarctica.
A Long-Term Commitment to Well-Being in Extreme Environments
Life at polar research stations comes with months of isolation, extreme cold and limited leisure options. To help improve morale and support the mental and social well-being of researchers, GOLFZON supplies and fully maintains indoor golf systems at two stations: King Sejong Research Station and Jang Bogo Station. These simulators allow teams to enjoy realistic virtual golf, practice their game and connect socially during downtime — an invaluable benefit in an environment where recreation is scarce.
GOLFZON first donated a simulator to the King Sejong Research Station in 2009. In 2014, the company expanded its efforts with an additional installation at Jang Bogo Station. Each system reflects the same immersive experience delivered in GOLFZON’s commercial indoor golf simulators found in indoor golf businesses, sports bars and entertainment venues worldwide.
A Unique Example of Technology, Recreation and Research Coming Together
The presence of GOLFZON simulators in Antarctica demonstrates how high-quality virtual golf can make a positive impact far beyond traditional indoor golf facilities. For researchers who may not see daylight for months, even a short break to practice on a world-class golf simulator can help maintain focus, reduce stress and strengthen team bonding.
These installations also showcase the durability of GOLFZON’s technology. Despite some of the planet’s most challenging operating conditions, the simulators remain reliable thanks to GOLFZON’s state-of-the-art technology and the company’s commitment to covering all ongoing maintenance and support.
Commitment to Social Responsibility
This long-term initiative reflects GOLFZON’s corporate mission to support both communities and environments around the world.
We will continue to strive to become a company trusted by customers and society through various activities to respond to the climate crisis and fulfill our social responsibility,
By offering recreational relief in places where comfort is limited, GOLFZON reinforces its belief that innovative indoor golf technology can deliver real value to everyone, no matter where people live or work.
