X-Golf: Revolutionizing Golf in South Florida
X-Golf Brings Year-Round Golfing to South Florida with Cutting-Edge Indoor Simulators and Comprehensive Training Tools. X-Golf, originally established in the Midwest, was created to provide golf enthusiasts a place to play during harsh winter months. As John Buckley explains, “In the wintertime, people don’t have a place to go. So instead of being outside in the snow, they developed this indoor golf simulator.” The technology behind X-Golf, based in Korea, offers a comprehensive golfing experience, allowing players to practice their short game, chip, and play full 18-hole courses. The simulators provide detailed feedback on club head speed, backspin, sidespin, loft, and distance, enabling golfers to fine-tune their skills.
