Southies, There's a New Kakao-Themed Golf Simulator in Alabang
Because as much as golf is serious, who says it can't be cute too?
(SPOT.ph) Golf simulators aren't new—they've been around since the 1970s after all, but it's only recently that more and more of these virtual golf hubs are opening in the Metro. One of the newer places where you can practice your swings? Kakao Friends Screen Golf Simulators is now open in Alabang.

Check out this cute Kakao-themed golf simulator in Alabang:
Nope, "kakao" is not some fancy word for the fruit responsible for our lifelong chocolate addiction. In this situation, "kakao" pertains to the uber-cute characters from South Korea's mobile messaging app, KakaoTalk. With this themed golf simulator, golfers can virtually play on a golf course subtly designed after KakaoFriends characters such as Ryan (lion) and Neo (the cat with the bobbed hairstyle).
Here's a closer look at the golf simulators:
The Kakao Friends Screen Golf Simulators has two driving ranges in an open area, and three more private options. There are three Party Rooms with bigger seating capacity, two Standard Rooms—one on the side of the store, the other near the entrance, and there's one VIP Room, the only room available for left-handed plays. Just in case you get hungry or thirsty, they also have a bar where you can order food and drinks that you can consume while playing.
Here are the prices for Kakao Friends Screen Golf Simulators:
- VIP Simulator (XL Room) P2,000/hour
- Standard Simulator: P1,800/hour
- Driving Range Bay: P1,000/hour
Note: All rooms are rented by the hour or per 18 holes, whichever comes first.
Reservations can be made via the Friends Golf website (make sure you have the correct time zone: GMT+8:00 Manila). The slots offered come in one-hour intervals, starting from 9 a.m. up to 10 p.m. Bringing your own set of clubs is advised, but if you don't have one, you can rent a set free of charge.
Kakao Friends Screen Golf Simulators is at 2/F Commercenet, Commerce Avenue corner Filinvest, Alabang, Muntinlupa City. Open from Monday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, visit Kakao Friends Screen Golf Simulators' Facebook page.
