Simulation golf in Gion fits into an evening however it is shaped: an after-party following dinner, or practice on your own.
Even with the same simulator, the type of booth, the food and drink and the opening hours change how you spend the time.
Choose the venue from your purpose
For swing analysis and repetition, prioritise the measurement functions; for an after-party, the seating, the drinks and the game modes.
For business entertaining or a date, think about other people's eyes and how easily you can talk, and consider a semi-private or fully private room.
Look at what the simulator does
A round mode that plays courses from around the world, a driving-range mode, beginner games: what you can enjoy varies with the machine.
With several people, choose a slot that leaves room for taking turns without rushing.
Check empty-handed use and left-handed support
If clubs, gloves and shoes can be borrowed, you can call in mid-sightseeing or between dinner and the rest of the evening with nothing in hand.
If anyone plays left-handed, confirm both the booth and the left-handed rental clubs when you book.
- Rental clubs
- Gloves and shoes
- A left-handed booth
- Somewhere to change
Settle the evening access and the booking time
Beyond the walk from Gion-Shijo Station, look at the route from where you are eating; meeting up goes more smoothly.
Private rooms fill up at weekends and late at night, so book as soon as your numbers and start time are settled.
