Golfzon America, the North American arm of global golf platform company Golfzon, announced Friday that it plans to open the Nashville flagship location of CityGolf USA, an indoor 18-hole golf venue, in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Nashville flagship will be the first indoor 18-hole golf course in the United States and marks Golfzon's entry into the American market with its urban golf concept, CityGolf, which the company first introduced in China in 2024. Golfzon signed partnership agreements with US and Canadian companies to advance the CityGolf concept in North America at the 2026 PGA Merchandise Show, held in Orlando, Florida, in January.
The Nashville flagship is being developed through a partnership among Golfzon, Nessie Capital, Parlay Capital Holdings and the Tennessee Golf Foundation. The project builds on the digital golf course model pioneered by Golfzon Group Chairman Kim Young-chan and aims to set a new standard for urban golf experiences.
CityGolf USA, a joint venture established by Golfzon America and Nessie Capital, plans to roll out a next-generation golf platform across the United States, allowing golfers to play anytime without being constrained by weather or environment. The venue combines Golfzon's advanced simulator technology with a real putting green, a dedicated short-game practice area and an indoor driving range, recreating the strategy and immersion of a real round within a screen-simulator setting. Golfers can enjoy an experience comparable to an actual 18-hole round, free from the limitations of time and weather.
"Golfzon has established itself as a global total golf platform company, built on more than 20 years of accumulated golf simulator technology and a commitment to making golf easy and accessible for everyone, anywhere, at any time," Chairman Kim said. "We expect CityGolf USA's advanced technology and innovative spaces to open up new possibilities in the American golf market."
