Why Golf Simulators Are Becoming a Must-Have for Luxury Resorts in Vietnam
Vietnam’s luxury resort scene has transformed rapidly over the past decade. Today’s travelers aren’t satisfied with beautiful rooms or beachfront views alone—they expect experiences. Memorable, meaningful, and increasingly, weather-proof experiences that elevate a holiday beyond the ordinary.
Indoor golf simulators are quickly emerging as one of the most versatile, guest-friendly additions to high-end resorts nationwide. What once seemed like a niche amenity has evolved into a core feature of the modern hospitality experience.
Here’s why they’re gaining momentum—and why having an experienced operator like TSL is becoming essential to unlocking their full potential.
A Perfect Match for Vietnam’s Growing Golf Culture
Vietnam is now one of Asia’s favourite golf destinations. Championship courses across Danang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc attract golfers year-round, especially from Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
But with seasonal rains, packed tee sheets, and limited daylight hours, resorts increasingly need reliable indoor options. A premium simulator experience gives properties something invaluable: continuity.
Guests can play anytime—rain or shine—ensuring the resort delivers a high-quality golf experience even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Appealing to Far More Than Golfers
One of the biggest shifts—and one many resorts are now recognising—is that golf simulators aren’t only for the serious golfer.
One of the most interesting observations from operating TSL at the Hyatt in Danang is that a high percentage of resort guests who use the space are either complete beginners or casual non-golfers. It’s rarely the serious player who books the room first—it’s families, couples, and curious travellers looking for a fun, premium indoor activity.
This shift has changed the way simulator spaces are viewed within resorts. Rather than serving a niche community, they’ve become social, approachable environments where anyone can feel comfortable picking up a club for the very first time.
And this is where coaching makes a meaningful difference.
For many guests, the simulator becomes their introduction to the sport. Light, friendly coaching—whether it’s a few minutes of basic guidance or a structured introductory session—elevates the experience dramatically. Guests walk away feeling confident, often surprised by how enjoyable and accessible golf can be.
For resorts, this transforms the simulator into more than entertainment. It becomes an entry point to skill-building, encouraging repeat visits, longer engagement, and a deeper connection between guests and the property.
A Small Space With Remarkable Versatility
A well-planned simulator room can deliver multiple functions within a compact footprint:
- A premium recreational activity
- A stylish evening entertainment option
- A reliable rainy-day solution
- A visually striking lounge
- A consistent revenue generator
But the real magic lies not simply in installation—it comes from thoughtful, consistent operation and guest engagement.
Where Experience Makes All the Difference
A golf simulator is not a “set it and forget it” amenity. It requires:
- Careful room design
- Guest guidance and introductions
- Well-trained staff able to identify and troubleshoot technical issues quickly and effectively
- Cleanliness and equipment upkeep
When these details are overlooked, the guest experience naturally loses some of its impact—and could even become a safety concern.
This is where an experienced operator like TSL adds significant value. TSL manages the day-to-day technical details, design considerations, calibration, staff training, coaching integration, and guest flow management that turn the simulator into a true experience.
Resorts enjoy the full benefit of a signature activity—without taking on the operational complexity.
Effortlessly Photogenic
Modern travellers love sharing beautiful spaces, and simulator lounges—especially those designed with TSL’s signature darker, luxury-driven interiors—provide excellent visual appeal.
A fun swing video, a friendly match, or a family challenge often turns into a stream of organic social media content. Guests enjoy themselves, and the resort gains visibility with no added marketing spend.
Final Thoughts
Golf simulators have increasingly become an amenity that modern luxury resorts in Vietnam are looking to incorporate—bringing flexibility, entertainment value, and a high-quality guest experience in a compact and stylish space.
With the right partner maintaining the technical, operational, and experiential elements, integrating indoor golf is not only simple—it’s strategically smart.
