Indoor golf is growing fast, and it’s becoming one of the most popular ways for people to enjoy this collaborative pastime
With simulators and entertainment venues popping up across the globe, players are discovering that they can enjoy a ‘classic round of golf’ with friends, whatever the weather. According to a recent BBC Sport report, industry analysts predict that virtual and indoor golf could soon rival traditional outdoor play!
Bringing Golf to the Arcade Floor
For arcades, FEC’s and social entertainment venues, that’s an exciting opportunity and one you do not want to miss. As more people look for fun and social ways to enjoy golf indoors, Putt It! Par-Tee from SEGA Amusements brings that same appeal to the arcade floor.
Mixing the fun of mini golf with classic redemption gameplay, players use a real golf club to putt balls into seven scoring holes, racing against the clock to score as many points as possible and win tickets. It’s easy to pick up, but getting the best score takes skill, giving players plenty of reasons to come back for another round.
Why Indoor Golf is Surging in Popularity
The BBC highlights several key reasons behind indoor golf’s rapid growth: it removes weather barriers, fits modern lifestyles, and transforms golf into a more social and accessible experience. Indoor golf venues, simulators, and hybrid entertainment concepts are thriving because they allow people to play casually, competitively, and year‑round — often in groups.
This shift mirrors what arcades already do best: turn traditional activities into fast‑paced, social, repayable experiences. That’s exactly where Putt It! Par‑Tee stands out.
Multiplayer Fun That Draws a Crowd
Things really level up when the cabinets are linked together. Up to three two-player units can connect, letting as many as six players compete side by side. Each player is matched with one of six quirky characters and progresses through themed on-screen levels, while individual displays track their progress. The large, shared screen billboard keeps everyone involved and helps create a lively atmosphere around the game.
Fast-Paced Gameplay That Keeps Players Coming Back
There’s no waiting around either. A new ball is automatically dispensed after every successful putt, keeping the action moving from start to finish. In the final ten seconds, the Double Points Final Shot gives players one last chance to boost their score and beat the competition!
Built to Stand Out
With bright artwork, colourful lighting and a unique physical putting action, Putt It! Par-Tee is designed to stand out on any arcade floor. The combination of fun gameplay and friendly competition makes it easy to attract a crowd and keep players coming back time and time again.
A Great Fit for a Growing Trend
As indoor golf continues to grow, Putt It! Par-Tee is leading the charge and not only bringing the golfing excitement into the arcade, giving venues a fresh, quirky attraction that players of all ages can enjoy together.
