New collaboration expands year-round access to the game, introduces exclusive member benefits, and enhances competitive opportunities through advanced simulator technology
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. — Golf VX, the leader in next-generation indoor golf simulator experiences powered by advanced technology and immersive gameplay, today announced its partnership with the Chicago District Golf Association (CDGA). The collaboration marks a significant milestone for Golf VX as it continues to bridge the gap between traditional golf and modern, year-round play.
To officially launch the partnership, CDGA members will receive 40% off simulator bay time at Golf VX when booking a minimum of two hours. The exclusive member benefit officially launched on March 6, 2026, at Golf VX Arlington Heights and CDGA members will enjoy perks and special offers all season long.
“This partnership with the CDGA represents a major step forward in our mission to make golf more accessible, social and engaging year-round,” said Kyu Choi, CEO of Golf VX. “By combining our cutting-edge simulator technology with one of the most respected golf associations in the country, we’re creating new opportunities for golfers to play, compete and connect regardless of season.”
In addition to member benefits, Golf VX and the CDGA will collaborate on a series of competitive and community-driven events, including two-person events and the introduction of a competitive series, scheduled for Fall and Winter 2026. These events will be designed to bring golfers together in a dynamic indoor environment that mirrors the integrity and excitement of on-course competition.
All events will be supported by industry-leading tournament infrastructure, including Golf Genius, enabling live scoring, real-time leaderboards, and seamless tournament operations. Participants will also benefit from integrated handicap tracking, with compatibility across the World Handicap System™, ensuring competitive fairness and credibility.
“Providing meaningful value and innovative playing opportunities for our members is integral to our organization,” said CDGA Executive Director Robert Markionni. “The CDGA’s partnership with Golf VX allows us to further expand our already robust offerings of CDGA Social Competitions, and we look forward to introducing more year-round events and engaging our membership community in a modern, technology-driven setting.”
Further strengthening the relationship, Golf VX will serve as presenting sponsor of the CDGA Net Series, which features four qualifiers and a championship final at various private country clubs throughout the Chicagoland area. The presenting sponsorship will feature on-site activation, gifting, and prizes from Golf VX, reinforcing its commitment to supporting competitive amateur golf at all levels.
