SMART GOLF Expands to Hiroshima with Unique Red Design on December 21

SMART GOLF Opens Its First Location in Hiroshima

The innovative indoor golf practice facility, SMART GOLF, is set to make its debut in Hiroshima on December 21, 2025. Known for its all-access, membership-based model, SMART GOLF boasts a significant number of locations and is recognized as a leader in the indoor golf industry. This new branch, located in front of the Takanobashi intersection in Hiroshima city, will be the first in the Chugoku region.

Design Inspired by Hiroshima's Spirit

One of the standout features of the Takanobashi location is its exterior design, which diverges from the brand's traditional navy blue color. Instead, the facility prominently features a vibrant red, symbolizing the spirit of Hiroshima. This design choice is a testament to SMART GOLF's respect for the local culture and its desire to become a part of the Hiroshima community.

Why the shift from navy to red? SMART GOLF has successfully operated around 160 locations primarily in the Tokyo metropolitan area, providing golfers with a 24/7, private environment to practice. When selecting Hiroshima as their next expansion target, the company recognized the city's rich sports culture and strong passion for golf. Typically, companies maintain a consistent brand color to preserve brand identity. However, SMART GOLF made the exceptional decision to adapt its branding to express a genuine sense of belonging in Hiroshima.

Three Unique Features of SMART GOLF Takanobashi

1. Red Design Harmonized with Hiroshima:
Located at a highly visible intersection, the red facade is designed to blend with the surrounding景観 while inspiring golfers. Once inside, guests will find a tranquil space that encourages concentration and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

2. AI-Powered Diagnostics and Recommendations:
Featuring state-of-the-art simulators, this new location leverages advanced AI technology. The AI diagnostics will evaluate swing trajectories and spin rates, presenting golfers with data to help them improve. Based on the assessment, SMART GOLF will automatically recommend instructional videos tailored to each golfer's current needs. This allows both novices and seasoned players to enhance their skills without confusion.

3. Convenience Around the Clock:
Open 24/7, SMART GOLF Takanobashi allows golfers to practice whenever it's convenient for them. With free rental clubs available at all stations, visitors can come empty-handed, making it easy to fit practice into their busy schedules. The facility also prioritizes security, ensuring a safe environment for solo female patrons, even during early morning or late-night practice sessions.
