Screen golf is the fastest way to play a real round of golf in North Jersey when the course is closed, cold, or too far away. You hit a real ball into a large screen, a simulator tracks the shot, and you play the next shot from wherever it landed. If you are searching for screen golf near you in Bergen County or across the river from Manhattan, here is what to expect from a Golfzon venue and how a visit to Edge Golf in Edgewater works.
What is screen golf?
Screen golf started in Korea and is now one of the most popular ways to play indoors. Instead of hitting into a net and guessing, a high-speed sensor reads the ball and club at impact and shows the full ball flight on screen. You can play complete 18-hole rounds on famous courses, use a driving range mode, or practice short shots and putting.
It is different from a driving range in one important way: you are playing golf, not just hitting balls. Every shot has a target, a lie and a score, so it feels much closer to a day on the course.
Why Golfzon is the system people search for
Golfzon is one of the best-known screen golf systems, and it is what every bay at Edge Golf runs. A few features make it feel close to a real round:
- Moving floor. The hitting area tilts to recreate uphill, downhill and sidehill lies, so you practice the stance and balance changes you face on a real course.
- 300+ courses. Play well-known courses from around the world in full detail.
- Auto tee. The ball is teed up for you automatically, so the round keeps moving.
- Short game and putting. Green slopes, bunker lies and rough are simulated, with instant feedback on every putt and chip.
- Near-zero latency. Ball flight appears on screen the moment you make contact.

Edge Golf is at 18 Edgewater Towne Center in Edgewater, NJ, next to Fort Lee and Cliffside Park, a short drive from the George Washington Bridge and minutes from Manhattan.
