A traditional corporate golf day has problems. It takes five hours, depends on the weather, and half the team can't play.
For corporate golf events London companies are switching to simulators. The format is faster, more inclusive, and easier to organise. At The City Golf Club in Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, we host events of all sizes that deliver the competitive atmosphere of a day on the links without the logistical headaches.
Why simulator events work better for team building
The biggest advantage of hosting corporate golf events London style on a simulator is that everyone can play. As a team building golf London option, simulators are unmatched. On a simulator, the technology levels the playing field. Trackman tracks every shot, and our competitive formats mean ability matters less than having a go.
A typical simulator event runs two to three hours, not five. You can fit it into an afternoon, combine it with drinks and food, and have people home at a reasonable time.

The perfect setting for client entertainment or an internal team event close to central London.
A typical event includes a welcome and introduction to the simulator technology, a team competition in formats like Ryder Cup, nearest the pin, longest drive, or scramble, and time for drinks afterwards. Our experienced team handles setup, scoring, and formats so your group just turns up and plays.
Event formats that actually engage people
The key to a good corporate golf day is keeping everyone involved. These formats work best:
Ryder Cup: Split into two teams and compete head-to-head across bays. Works brilliantly for department rivalries.
Nearest the Pin: Quick-fire rounds, one shot each to a target. Simple, competitive, and produces a clear winner.
Team Scramble: Groups of three or four use the best shot from each round. Keeps beginners involved because one good shot helps the whole team.

Why choose a simulator over a traditional day out?
The comparison comes down to practicality and inclusivity. A traditional corporate golf day requires decent weather, a full day commitment, transport to championship courses outside the city, and enough players who can hit the ball. A simulator event removes all of those barriers while keeping the hospitality and spirit intact.
The Trackman iO technology means the experience feels authentic. Ball flight, visuals of championship courses, and shot data are accurate enough that experienced players find it engaging, while beginners pick it up within minutes. Corporate entertainment golf simulator events offer something a traditional day cannot match for mixed-ability groups.
