The future of golf entertainment is arriving in the United States.
GOLFZON has announced that CityGolf, its next-generation indoor golf entertainment concept, will make its U.S. debut in Nashville, Tennessee, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of off-course golf experiences.
Unlike traditional simulator venues, CityGolf combines full-swing simulator golf with physical short-game experiences, creating one of the most immersive ways to play golf indoors.
What Is CityGolf?
CityGolf blends cutting-edge golf simulation technology with real-world golf skills in a single experience.
Players begin by hitting full shots into GOLFZON’s industry-leading simulators before transitioning to 18 physical green complexes where they finish each hole by pitching, chipping, hitting bunker shots and putting on synthetic greens.
The result is an experience that closely mirrors playing a complete round of golf while remaining entirely indoors.
Why Nashville?
Nashville was selected as the first U.S. CityGolf location after extensive market research that highlighted the city’s:
- Rapid population growth
- Expanding tourism industry
- Strong entertainment culture
- Growing golf community
The new venue is being built inside a 175,000-square-foot facility and is expected to open in late 2026.
In addition to golf, the location will feature a full-service restaurant and bar, creating a destination designed for golfers, families, corporate outings and social events.
A New Standard for Indoor Golf
As participation in golf continues to rise, players are looking for more accessible ways to enjoy the game.
CityGolf addresses many of the challenges associated with traditional golf by offering:
- Play regardless of weather
- No daylight limitations
- A complete 18-hole experience
- Real short-game practice
- Entertainment for golfers of every skill level
The concept represents another step forward in making golf more accessible while preserving the strategy and feel of playing an actual course.
Built on Proven Success
CityGolf has already demonstrated success internationally.
Its Tianjin, China location welcomed nearly 10,000 rounds during 2025, providing a strong indication of consumer demand for this immersive golf entertainment model.
Following the Nashville launch, GOLFZON plans to continue expanding CityGolf across the United States, with a long-term vision of opening 10–15 locations by 2030 in major metropolitan markets.
The Growth of Off-Course Golf
Interest in off-course golf continues to reach new heights.
According to the National Golf Foundation, 37.9 million Americans participated in off-course golf activities by the end of 2025, representing a 63% increase compared to 2019.
As golfers seek flexible, year-round playing opportunities, concepts like CityGolf are helping shape the next generation of the sport.
