The Sport
America Park Golf is a different game
Park golf began in Japan in 1983 as a one-club game on dedicated park courses. We kept what makes it great, easy to learn, social and gentle on the body, and rebuilt the equipment so it plays on the golf courses America already has.
America Park Golf · AG70
Four patented clubs, any short course
- Driver, two lofted clubs and a two-way putter
- Plays any Par-3 or Executive course, public parks and simulators
- APGA rules built on familiar PGA and USGA conventions
- Uses the standard golf hole cup already on the green
- Designed, patented and made in the USA
Easy to start
A full swing with a larger 50 mm ball. Beginners hit good shots in their first round, so nobody spends a season on the range before they can play.
Gentle on joints
A natural sweeping motion with less twisting load on the back, hips and knees than a full golf swing or a fast-reaction court sport.
Three generations, one group
Grandparents, parents and kids play the same tees in the same foursome. An 18-hole round takes under two hours.
Patented Equipment
The four-club system
Four clubs cover every shot on a park golf course: off the tee, down the fairway, out of trouble and into the cup. Every AG70 club is made in the USA with a 100% stainless steel head of approximately 400 g for a solid, confident strike. Shaft length is fitted to each customer's request, and reversible heads let left- and right-handed players share one set.

USPTO Patent
Club technology protected by U.S. Patent No. 11,583,728 B2. Made in USA · 100% stainless steel heads · approx. 400 g · custom shaft lengths. Official ball: 50 mm diameter, built for true roll on golf-course turf.
Where to Play
Thousands of courses are already built
Dedicated park golf courses are rare in America. Short golf courses are not. The National Golf Foundation counts 1,538 Par-3 and Executive facilities across the country, and more than 80% of Par-3 courses allow public play. Our clubs make every one of them a park golf course.
Golf courses
Par-3 & Executive
Play from forward markers into the course's existing standard hole cups. Courses add a new player group on weekday mornings with no construction cost.
Public spaces
Parks & greenways
A layout fits underused park land. Holes follow APGA lengths: Par 3 under 100 yards, Par 4 under 200 and Par 5 under 300.
Indoors
Simulator bays
Famous championship courses, formatted for park golf distances, playable year-round in senior centers, clubs and homes.
New Course Development
Short courses are where golf is building
While traditional 18-hole regulation construction has remained conservative, short courses have made up about one-third of new course openings in recent years. Resorts and municipal operators are choosing them for lower land requirements, quicker rounds of under two hours, and an easy entry point for beginners and seniors.
Land
Less acreage
An APGA Par 70 course fits on a fraction of the land a regulation course needs, which opens up parks, resort grounds and smaller private parcels.
Time
Under two hours
Shorter holes keep a full 18-hole round under two hours, so players fit golf into a morning and courses turn more tee times each day.
Access
A first course for everyone
Beginners, seniors and families can play a complete round from day one. AG70 clubs make the same course work for park golf and traditional short-game play.
- ~1/3
- of recent new U.S. course development has been Par-3 courses, while they are only about 4% of total supply
- < 2 hrs
- for an 18-hole park golf round

America Park Golf Simulator · powered by XimFitX
Famous courses, indoors, for every body
The Park Golf Simulator brings the whole sport indoors and plays it all year. A patented optical array in the ceiling tracks the 50 mm park golf ball and the AG70 clubs, then sends every shot down the fairway of a world-famous course or an APGA Par 70 park golf course. The floor stays completely clear, so players with wheelchairs, walkers or canes swing freely and nobody trips over a sensor or cable.
- U.S. patented
- 100+ world-famous courses
- 1–6 players per bay
- APGA rules & handicaps
- Wheelchair accessible
Patented technology
Overhead optical tracking
Most golf simulators put a launch monitor on the floor beside the ball. Ours puts the entire tracking system in the ceiling. The OS-2000 optical array uses high-speed stereoscopic cameras with synchronized optical strobing to capture the club and ball at impact, from above, with nothing on the hitting surface.
Stereoscopic vision
Two synchronized high-speed cameras see every shot in three dimensions.
Optical strobing
Strobed light freezes the club and ball at the moment of impact for a clean measurement.
Millimeter precision
Sub-millimeter clubhead delivery tracking across every game and training mode.
Instant telemetry
Launch data appears on screen right after the shot, so players see the result and the cause together.
USPTO Patents
The Park Golf Simulator and the AG70 park golf clubs are each protected by U.S. patents held by our companies. The simulator software follows official APGA rules, handicap scoring and tournament standards.
Shot data
What every swing measures
| Measurement | What it tells the player |
|---|---|
| Clubhead path & face angle | Why the ball started left or right, measured to fractions of a degree |
| Launch angle | How high the ball left the clubface for each of the four clubs |
| Ball speed | How much energy reached the ball |
| Spin vector | Backspin and sidespin that shape flight and roll |
| Carry & roll-out | How far the ball flew and how far it rolled on the turf |
| Distance to target | How close the shot finished, for scoring and practice games |
Physics engine
Built for park golf, not adapted from golf
Standard golf simulators are tuned only for a regular golf ball. Ours has a dedicated park golf engine.
50 mm ball dynamics
True-to-life flight paths for the larger park golf ball.
Turf & roll
Real surface friction, low-trajectory bounce and how the ball accelerates, rolls and settles.
Four-club matrix
Calibrated loft and weight for the AG70 driver, fairway, recovery club and two-way putter.
Smart club selection
The software suggests the right club for the distance remaining, which helps new players learn fast.
Play
Courses and game formats
World-famous fairways
100+ digitized championship courses, formatted for park golf distances, with real elevation, doglegs, water hazards and multi-tier greens.

Connected play
Compete with anyone, anywhere
Online matches & tournaments
Live head-to-head matches and multi-player events with friends, club members or players in other cities.
World Global Ranking System
APGA members get a handicap calculated from course difficulty, conditions and shot history, with live leaderboards and seasonal points.
Verified scores
Official online scores are verified through camera telemetry and smartwatch integration, so simulator rounds can count in sanctioned APGA events.
Safety & accessibility
Built for seniors, kids and players with disabilities
Zero trip hazards
No floor sensors, raised wires or equipment boxes anywhere in the hitting area.
Wheelchair access
The open bay fits wheelchairs, walkers and canes, and seated players can swing freely.
Low-impact swing
A natural sweeping motion gives cardio and core exercise without heavy twisting on the back, hips or knees.
Family friendly
Light swing, a larger ball and simple rules make it an easy first sport for kids.

Market Opportunity
The largest generation is reaching retirement
America's senior population is growing every year, golf participation is at a two-decade high, and older adults need a sport that keeps them moving without putting them at risk. Park golf sits where those three trends meet.
- 65.1M
- Americans age 65+ in 2026, up from 55.9M in 2021
- ~10,000
- Americans turn 65 every day
- 29.1M
- on-course golfers in the U.S. in 2025, an eighth straight year of growth
- 1,538
- Par-3 and Executive golf facilities ready for AG70 play
From golf
About 1.5M golfers a year
If 5% of America's 29 million on-course golfers reach senior age each year, that is roughly 1.45 million players annually looking for a shorter, easier game they can keep playing for decades.
From pickleball
A safer alternative
Pickleball injuries treated in U.S. emergency rooms nearly quadrupled from 2018 to 2025, and older players are hurt at a disproportionate rate. Park golf offers social, outdoor play without sprints, fast reactions or a ball flying at your face.
The three-generation effect
Generation 1
Seniors
Retirees and active adults, our core player. 65+ Americans already outnumber the population of most countries.
Generation 2
Grandchildren
Seniors bring grandkids. The larger ball and short holes make it a first sport kids can actually play with adults.
Generation 3
Parents
Kids bring their parents. One family outing becomes three new players and a standing weekend tee time.
Worldwide
Proven in Asia
Korea's park golf courses grew from 254 in 2020 to 552 in 2025. Registered players rose from about 45,000 to nearly 230,000, and the real number playing is estimated above 600,000.
Worldwide
An aging planet
The share of the world's population age 65+ is projected to nearly double, from 10.5% in 2025 to 19.6% by 2060. Japan, where park golf was born, is already at 29.7%.
Simulators
A $2B category
The global golf simulator market was about $2 billion in 2024 and is forecast to reach $4 billion by 2034, with North America the leading region.
