No, you don't need any golf experience to play a golf simulator. Modern simulators are designed to be fun for complete beginners — they track your swing automatically, show animated ball flights, and handle all the scoring. At venues like LENGOLF, staff help you get started in about 2 minutes, and golf clubs are provided free.
Golf simulators are one of the most beginner-friendly activities available. Here's why you don't need experience:
The Technology Does the Work
Simulators use sensors and cameras to track your swing. You just hit the ball — the screen shows where it goes, how far it traveled, and what happened. There's no need to understand golf rules, etiquette, or scoring. The system handles everything.
It's Fun Even If You're Bad
Unlike real golf, where a bad shot means a long walk to find your ball, simulator golf keeps the action moving. Hit it sideways? The screen resets and you try again. Most beginners find the instant feedback addictive — you can see yourself improving shot by shot.
What to Expect at LENGOLF
- Staff will show you how to hold the club and take a basic swing
- Free standard clubs are provided (no need to bring anything)
- Your bay is private — no pressure from other players watching
- Games like closest-to-the-pin and longest-drive don't require skill, just enthusiasm
- The bar atmosphere means it's social, not serious
Who Actually Plays?
At LENGOLF, roughly half of visitors have little or no golf experience. Groups of friends, date couples, and families regularly come in having never swung a club. It's an activity — not a sport lesson — unless you want it to be.
Bay rental is ~500 THB/hour for up to 5 people at Mercury Ville, BTS Chidlom (Exit 4).
