Non-members are encouraged to take advantage of the free trials, showcasing what makes SMART GOLF unique. Moreover, guests can opt for personal training sessions with dedicated coaches for a fee, starting at 4,000 yen (tax included) for a 60-minute lesson plus a 60-minute simulator orientation.
With the ongoing commitment to enhancing the golfing experience, SMART GOLF supports cross-utilization among its stores, unequivocally increasing convenience for its members. Each of their facilities is equipped with state-of-the-art golf simulators and unique AI diagnostic functionalities that pinpoint swing imperfections, driving scores to improvement. Data records of each shot are automatically saved to players' smartphones, making it easier to track progress over time.
The all-inclusive membership model ensures that players can easily book their time at any of the locations, with individual or semi-private rooms available for practice without distraction from onlookers. Each facility maintains high security standards, making it safe for all, including women and those who may not own golf clubs, as lending clubs are available.
The rapid growth of SMART GOLF exemplifies the service's popularity. Since its inception in April 2021, the company has opened 167 stores as of December 23, 2025, maintaining the highest number of simulator-equipped indoor golf venues across the Kanto region. As part of its ambitious strategy, SMART GOLF is striving to expand further, aiming to reach a total of 220 stores nationwide by July 2026. To facilitate this growth, they are actively seeking partnerships with real estate firms and prospective franchise owners.
