GOLFZON and Pinehurst Resort have announced a new strategic partnership that will bring all 11 Pinehurst courses to GOLFZON simulators worldwide.
As part of the partnership, Pinehurst’s courses will be recreated in high-definition 3D using drone-mounted laser scanning technology, allowing golfers around the world to virtually experience the resort’s legendary layouts with remarkable detail and accuracy.
The collaboration also includes the launch of a new global ‘Road to Pinehurst’ tournament series, where players across Asia and North America will compete virtually on Pinehurst courses for the chance to earn an all-expenses-paid trip to Pinehurst and compete in person for the championship.
“Adding Pinehurst’s iconic courses to the GOLFZON course library is a massive win for all golfers who use our simulators,” said Sean Pyun, CEO of GOLFZON America. “As a USGA Anchor Site, Pinehurst represents the highest standard in championship golf. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to growing the game and extends our work alongside the USGA in advancing innovation and accessibility for golfers everywhere.”
“Pinehurst has always been committed to providing unforgettable golf experiences, and innovative platforms like GOLFZON allow us to extend that experience far beyond our property,” added Eric Kuester, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Pinehurst Resort. “By incorporating Pinehurst’s historic, championship-caliber courses into GOLFZON simulators, more golfers around the world can experience the history, challenge, and beauty that make Pinehurst special.”
With Pinehurst joining the platform, GOLFZON now features two of the USGA’s three US Open anchor sites in its simulator portfolio, reinforcing the company’s broader push to bring some of the game’s most iconic and challenging venues to simulator golfers worldwide while further establishing itself as a trusted partner of the USGA.
