Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 06-238030 Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 07-073620

  Conventional indoor golf courses require buildings and structures having lengths and radii corresponding to the longest long holes.

  However, in large cities and suburbs, finding a rectangular idle land with a side corresponding to the length of the longest long hole or a circular idle land with a radius corresponding to the length of the longest long hole is not possible. It is extremely difficult.

  On the other hand, a golf practice machine or the like provided in an amusement facility has a very short distance from the player to the front screen or the front net, and cannot check the actual trajectory of the ball by its own shot.

  In this regard, in the so-called “playing-off” driving range, the actual trajectory of the ball can be confirmed by its own shot, but it literally ends by hitting it, and the best part of golf is to hit the golf ball in sequence and sink into the green cup. I can't taste it.

  In addition, in golf practice machines and the like provided in an amusement facility, a player is forced to take a shot in a very narrow space surrounded by left and right nets and a front screen or a front net. For this reason, even if a ballistic image of the ball or a background image of the golf course is projected on the front screen by a simulator or the like, it is not possible to enjoy the feeling of opening of the golf course.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is not only capable of being played regardless of the weather such as heat, cold, snowfall, and rain, but can also be constructed in a large city. Aiming to realize an indoor golf course that can squeeze various holes including putters, etc. while rounding each hole and sinking the ball into an actual green cup, although it has a small occupation area .

  In the indoor golf course of the present invention, a reception counter and a communication path to the upper floor and / or the lower floor are provided on a concentric circumference in the center of a structure having a circular interior, and a tee ground is disposed outside the concentric circle. A plurality of holes each having green arranged on the periphery side of the structure are provided radially, and for each hole, a partition wall, a roof, and an indoor periphery are arranged for simulation of a hitting ball according to a golfer's shot. All-weather indoor golf with a screen that can depict video, performing only approach shots and putters to the green including bunker shots, and other shots can be confirmed only by trajectory, and play by ball hitting simulation It is characterized by a course.

  Also, the indoor golf course of the present invention is preferably characterized in that the floor of each hole is configured with grass on at least the green side.

  In the indoor golf course of the present invention, more preferably, at least one of the plurality of holes includes a bunker or / and a pond.

  In the indoor golf course of the present invention, more preferably, one or more of the plurality of holes includes a caddy back storage and a bench between the tee ground and the concentric circumference.

  Further, the indoor golf course of the present invention is more preferably provided around the tee ground so that each hole is visible from a golfer who hits a shot from the tee ground, and at least the hole number, the number of remaining yards and the wind speed of each hole. And a display device for displaying.

  In the indoor golf course of the present invention, more preferably, the distance between the tee ground and the screen is 15 to 20 meters.

  Moreover, the indoor golf course of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that at least the green is composed of natural turf, and the ceiling is provided with LED lighting for assisting natural daylighting for growing or curing the natural turf. .

  The indoor golf course of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that the connecting passage is a staircase.

  The indoor golf course of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that each hole has the same fan shape with a central angle of 20 ° excluding concentric circles.

  Not only is it possible to play without being affected by the weather such as heat, cold, snowfall, snowfall, etc., but it is a relatively small occupied area that can be built in a big city, but it also hits various shots including putters etc. However, it is possible to realize an indoor golf course where each hole can be rounded and the ball can be sunk in an actual green cup.

It is a conceptual diagram explaining the outline | summary of the golf course of this embodiment. It is a conceptual diagram explaining the state which observed the 1st hole from the 2nd hole side. It is a conceptual diagram which expands and demonstrates a part of golf course of this embodiment shown in FIG. It is a figure explaining the conventional artificial golf course currently disclosed by patent document 1. FIG. It is a figure explaining the conventional indoor type golf land currently disclosed by patent document 2. FIG.

  The indoor golf course described in the present embodiment is comfortable indoors with air conditioning without being affected by temperature, rain and snow, while being able to execute a shot feeling, approach shot, and putter as if playing in a real golf course Can play.

  In other words, the golf simulation game or golf practice machine in an amusement facility, etc., and the good points of the actual golf course are mixed in an exquisite manner to match them. For example, even for the elderly and golfers who are sensitive to heat and cold It is possible to provide an appropriate golf course.

  In a circular golf course, for example, a total of 18 holes are radially formed with a central angle of 20 ° per hole. And a screen is provided in the outer edge part of each hole so that tee shot etc. may be simulation golf. In addition, approach shots and putters, which are the final stage of each hole, can be played on real greens, bunkers, and grass.

  For this reason, the length of each hole is set to 15 to 20 meters, for example, so that the tee shot hitting direction and hitting characteristics (slice, hook, etc.) can be determined in practice, and the actual green is arranged. Bunkers and ponds are preferably arranged around the area.

  The baby boomers are already aging, especially in the hot weather in the summer and in the cold weather in the winter, even if they are physically confident and like golf, it is difficult to go to the golf course If it is impossible, there may be dangers such as dehydration, heat stroke, and cerebral infarction.

  On the other hand, if it is withdrawn into the house, it can be considered that it will cause a lack of exercise and cause a so-called locomotive syndrome (a state in which there is a high risk of needing care due to a disorder of the exercise device). Locomotive syndrome is said to have 47 million people nationwide, including its reserves.

  For this reason, those who want to play golf in summer or winter, but do not want to go to the golf course until they are at risk of death. For those who want to enjoy golf in the country, there is a need to provide a golf course that can be enjoyed easily and comfortably on the actual green grass.

  Golf that plays comfortably on the ugly turf while squeezing the fresh smell of the natural natural turf of the plant itself is a source that revitalizes and rejuvenates the golfer's body and mind.
