Prime Golf Opens at SM The Podium in Manila

K-GOLF was pleased to attend the grand opening of Prime Golf, a premium indoor golf destination located on the fifth floor of SM The Podium in Manila, Philippines. Spanning approximately 1,400 square meters, Prime Golf combines golf simulator technology, private entertainment, hospitality and contemporary interior design within one large-scale venue.

The facility features four open hitting bays, ten private rooms, a putting green, a bar and comfortable lounge areas. Together, these spaces create an environment designed for golf, social gatherings, private events and business entertainment.

A Premium Indoor Golf Destination in Manila

Prime Golf represents the continued development of premium indoor golf in the Philippine market.

Rather than operating solely as a golf practice facility, the venue has been planned as a complete golf entertainment destination. Guests can play, meet, relax and host private gatherings within a single integrated space.

Its location inside SM The Podium also places the venue within one of Manila’s established retail and lifestyle destinations, making it accessible to golfers, families, corporate guests and mall visitors.

Four Open Hitting Bays

Prime Golf includes four open hitting bays designed to provide a spacious and comfortable playing environment. The open layout makes the venue suitable for golfers with different levels of experience, from first-time simulator users to regular players looking for an accessible indoor golf experience.

The bays are positioned within the wider venue rather than separated from the social areas. This allows the energy of the golf experience to remain connected to the atmosphere of the bar and lounge.

Ten Private Golf Rooms

The ten private rooms are a defining feature of Prime Golf.

Each room offers a more exclusive setting for groups that prefer privacy, comfort and dedicated service. The rooms can accommodate a range of occasions, including gatherings with friends, family activities, business meetings and corporate events.

This private-room-focused model expands the role of indoor golf beyond individual practice. It allows the venue to serve as a destination for both recreation and hospitality.

A Complete Guest Experience

The guest experience at Prime Golf extends beyond simulator play.

A dedicated putting green allows golfers to practice and spend additional time within the venue. The bar and lounge areas provide spaces for guests to meet before a session, relax after playing or enjoy the venue without immediately entering a golf bay.

These supporting spaces are important elements of the overall concept. They help create a natural flow between golf, hospitality and social interaction.

Celebrating the Grand Opening

The official opening ceremony brought together representatives from Prime Golf, K-GOLF, partner companies and invited guests.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the beginning of Prime Golf’s operations and celebrated the collaboration behind the new venue.

For K-GOLF, attending the opening provided an opportunity to recognize an important project and to see how premium indoor golf concepts are being developed for the Philippine market.

A New Reference for Premium Indoor Golf

Prime Golf provides a strong reference for developers, investors and operators considering a premium indoor golf business. Several aspects of the venue contribute to its positioning.

Its large-scale location supports multiple customer groups. The combination of open bays and private rooms provides operational flexibility. The putting green, bar and lounge broaden the guest experience. Its location inside a major Manila shopping mall also connects indoor golf with retail, dining and lifestyle activity.

Together, these elements position Prime Golf as more than a simulator facility. They establish it as a premium golf and entertainment destination.

The Growth of Indoor Golf in the Philippines

The opening of Prime Golf reflects the growing potential of indoor golf in the Philippines.

Golf simulator venues can provide accessible playing opportunities regardless of weather, time or access to an outdoor golf course. Premium locations can also introduce golf to new audiences by combining the sport with dining, entertainment and social experiences.

As customer expectations continue to develop, successful indoor golf venues will increasingly be shaped by the complete experience surrounding the simulator.

Technology remains the foundation. Space planning, service, privacy and hospitality determine how customers experience the venue and whether they choose to return.
