Golf has long been perceived as an intimidating and exclusive sport, often associated with hard-to-visit places and pricey memberships. No wonder it’s being dubbed as the “sport for the rich”! But since it’s already 2023, a new contender is changing this narrative by providing a more inclusive yet high-tech golfing experience right in the heart of Pasay City. VIP Golf introduces a virtual alternative, allowing enthusiasts and curious millennials to play and practice without the constraints of a traditional golf course. No need to dress up all sporty, no need to bear all the heat from the sun, and no need to be ashamed of hitting a golf ball in the wrong way because (almost) everything is automated!

The grand opening, held last Saturday (December 2, 2023) at MET Live Pasay City, was a testament to VIP Golf’s commitment to redefining the golfing landscape. Executives, celebrities, golf enthusiasts, online personalities, and members of the media gathered to witness the unveiling of an establishment that promises a golfing experience like no other.

“This is not your ordinary facility, nor an ordinary experience, but your journey to a high-tech and high-end golf simulation with a 99% accuracy rate”, shares Simon Tan, Director of VIP Golf, emphasizing the unique and innovative nature of the establishment.

I know you’re curious about how it looks like inside, so let me give you a quick tour via photos.

Inside VIP Golf in photos:

Open Bay Area: Equipped with state-of-the-art golfing technology, the open bay area offers enthusiasts a chance to hone their skills while having easy access to the bar and food area. While waiting for your turn, the Open Bay Area is also a good spot to enjoy the view outside of MET Live. You’ll also be able to see how other groups are doing by looking around. If I’m not mistaken, they can accommodate around four or five groups at a time.

Rate: Php 1,200 per hour

VIP Rooms: If you prefer something more private, VIP Golf also has VIP Rooms designed for comfort and luxury. Here, you’ll be able to lounge at a comfy sofa while being served with food and drinks. You and your friends can also cheer and shout here without causing a commotion because you’ll have the entire room for yourselves. The ambiance is also A+!

Rate: Php 2,400 per hour

Bar & Restaurant: At the back of the reception, just within the Open Bay Area, you’ll find VIP Golf’s Bar & Restaurant which offers food and drinks crafted by professional bartenders and chefs. They’re open almost the entire day, so you’ll never go hungry or thirsty here!

Extended Hours: Operates from 6:00 AM to 3:00 AM, Mondays through Sundays.

Caddies & Coaches: Experience VIP treatment with the assistance of VIP Golf’s caddies, adding a touch of tradition to enhance your golfing experience. They’re also very beginner-friendly, thanks to in-house professional coaches who won’t judge you for having zero knowledge about the sport. I’m a golf newbie but I didn’t feel left out during my visit. The coach assigned to our team ensured to give me a crash course and helped me enjoy the game to the fullest even though I keep missing some swings!

Pro Shop: If you’re feeling confident already after your virtual golf experience, you can purchase golf must-haves at VIP Golf’s Pro Shop. They have everything — from golf balls to golf clubs of different sizes. It’s a convenient spot for our golfing needs, may it be virtual or on the actual golf course.

Parking: Giving visitors more reasons to feel like a VIP, VIP Golf also offers a FREE complimentary parking to guests for a hassle-free experience.

VIP Golf aims to be the premier destination for golf enthusiasts in Pasay City and beyond, offering an unmatched combination of technology, luxury, and tradition. With its extended operating hours, top-notch amenities, and a commitment to customer satisfaction, VIP Golf is poised to make golfing a pleasure accessible to everyone. Swing by when you can! I would recommend that you try it at least once in your life.
