Golf is a sport that has a reputation of being for the rich or for the retirees – but it really isn’t. If you’re too intimidated to go to an actual golf course, start at these golf simulators in Singapore that make the sport more accessible. They give players the most realistic golfing experience to practice in a comfortable indoor environment.
From innovative technology to cosy private rooms, here are 12 golf simulators everyone can try out.

Five Iron Golf has simulators with 4K projectors for ultra-realistic quality. Their interactive bays have real-time data to help budding golfers up their game – like playbacks to check on your form. It’s also located in the CBD area, making it a great after-work activity with colleagues. If you can sneak off early, head there before 5pm for discounted rates.
Those who aren’t that hardcore can try out other game modes, like Bull’s Eye and Capture the Flag. While they may be easier, these games still help improve your form and technique.
Balls & Birdies is one of the fun activities you can find at indoor playground X-Scap8 – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t for serious golfers. The simulators here give players data – like golf swing stats – to measure their “performance” so they can figure out how to improve.
Plus, it’s quite affordable if you jio some friends – it’s $60/hour and each bay can have up to 4 people, making it $15/person if you bring 3 others. There’s a bistro nearby to refuel while you wait for your turn – order snacks like Har Cheong Gai Wings ($12) or full meals like the XSCAP8 Burger ($20).
Price: $60/hour for up to 4 people
At Friends Golf, you’ll find 7 Driving Range machines to practice your drive swing. If you’re too paiseh to practice in the shared space, there are also 5 private rooms you can book. There’s even a room with a swing plate on both sides so you’ll be able to practice with your more dominant hand – perfect for lefties.
Those who want to take golfing seriously can also sign up for coaching under professional coaches for some professional advice and lessons. Trial sessions are available at $84/session.

Golf X is all business, 7 days a week. There are both 9- and 18-hole courses here. Serious golfers can look forward to practising their swings and form at their driving ranges which have all the data you need to improve. These monitors will capture your attempts while also providing feedback on how you can improve.
This, however, should be supplemented by coaches if you’re really looking to tee off with the best of ‘em. Look for any of their 6 dedicated coaches for one-on-one lessons that start from $100 for a trial session. The best part is that Golf X is open every day of the week to accommodate most schedules.

The bays at City Golfer are super aesthetic – so don’t spend too much of your timeslot taking photos. There are 3 regular bays and 1 VIP room here. If you’re a casual golfer, you’ll really enjoy the laid-back vibes here – grab a craft beer or some bar snacks while waiting for your turn.
While it’s more chill, that doesn’t mean they don’t have some special surprises in place to invoke the competitive spirit in their players. Those who are zai and manage to score a hole-in-one win 10 free hours of playtime worth $600 – you can even share it with 3 other golfing kakis.

This one’s for the Easties – Bogeyman Golf has spacious private rooms that are reminiscent of KTV lounges. It’s even located in a shophouse to add to that casual vibe, but that doesn’t mean their simulators aren’t up to standard.
There are over 120 different courses from around the world that also have training aids for those looking to improve. Alternatively, play some of their mini-games if you’re just looking to have fun.

To experience some innovative golf simulators you can’t find elsewhere in Singapore, head on over to GolfWav.
