Can You Play Pinx Golf Club on GOLFZON Wave? Here’s How

Yes. Pinx Golf Club on Jeju Island is available on GOLFZON Wave through the Vision WAVE software, and it’s absolutely worth your time. This is the Korean course that put the country on the global golf map, and the GOLFZON recreation does it justice.

What Makes Pinx Golf Club Worth Playing

Pinx Golf Club was the first Korean course ever named to Golf Digest’s World Top 100 in 2005, and it remains one of the most significant designs in Asian golf. Theodore “Ted” Robinson Sr. designed the 27-hole layout (East, West, and North nines) as his final masterpiece, opening in 1999 on Jeju Island’s dramatic volcanic terrain. The course sits at the base of Hallasan Mountain with sweeping views of the South China Sea, combining volcanic rock outcroppings with wide, rolling fairways that feel more American parkland than Asian mountain course.

The GOLFZON Wave version captures the course well. The open fairways and dramatic elevation changes translate cleanly to the simulator environment. The volcanic rock features that define the visual character of the course render accurately in Vision WAVE’s engine. What makes Pinx special on the sim is the sheer variety across its three nines — you can mix East, West, and North for 18 different combinations, giving you genuine replay value that most simulator courses lack.

The course measures over 7,000 yards from the tips with generous fairways that reward aggressive lines off the tee. The real challenge comes from Jeju’s coastal winds and the subtle breaks in Robinson’s green complexes. GOLFZON Wave’s wind simulation adds the tactical layer that makes Pinx more than just a scenic round.

How to Access It

Pinx Golf Club is available in the Vision WAVE software that ships with every GOLFZON Wave launch monitor system. It’s included in the standard course library — no additional purchase or subscription tier required. Just update your course list through the WAVE Play interface and it will appear alongside the 100+ other courses in the Vision library.

Select from the East, West, or North nine and combine them for your preferred 18-hole routing. The WAVE Skills app tracks your stats across all combinations, which is useful if you’re trying to figure out which nine suits your game best.

What to Watch Out For

Pinx is a target-golf course despite its wide fairways. The volcanic waste areas alongside the landing zones are penal — if you spray it into the lava rock, you’re taking an unplayable or chipping out sideways. The GOLFZON penalty system handles this correctly, so don’t expect charity.

The three nines have distinct personalities. The East nine is the most open and drivable. The West nine is tighter with more water in play. The North nine is the most dramatic, with the biggest elevation swings. If you only have time for one nine, play the North.
