Screen golf with a 'caddie' in Manila — a visit to a Golfzon in Pasay

In one line
At a Golfzon screen golf venue in a mall in Pasay, Manila, the host tried for the first time a service where you book a caddie in golf wear by the hour to drink and play together.

💡 Key takeaways

[Screen golf in Manila]
• According to the host, many screen golf venues have opened in central Manila — 6–7 new ones that he knows of alone.
• Kakao Golf, Golfzon and a Japanese brand are all there, and many run 24 hours, so you can play even in the rainy season and typhoons.
• Many places sell ramen, beer and snacks.
• The host felt it costs more than in Korea, and some venues offer discounts in the early-morning hours.

[The venue]
• A Golfzon screen golf venue in a mall in Pasay (a reply in the comments also confirms it is the Pasay Golfzon).
• There are many rooms, but he went without a reservation, found none free and waited about 15 minutes. Booking ahead is a good idea.

[The caddie service]
• You can request a caddie and pay by the hour, like at a JTV.
• About 6–10 caddies are said to be on standby; on the filming day 7 were working and were already booked for hours ahead.
• The caddies come in golf wear rather than dresses. They don't give professional caddie advice — they drink, chat and play a round with you.
• You can also order drinks and dishes like fried shrimp and stir-fries.
• Many Korean residents reportedly come alone and request a caddie.

[Cost]
• No amounts are given in the video. The host saw the bill and said it is "far from good value" (his acquaintance paid).
• Commenters say a caddie costs 500 pesos per person per hour, and screen fees are 1,200 pesos early morning and 1,800 pesos at peak time (viewer info, not confirmed in the video).

💬 What viewers said (65 comments)
• The most common reaction was asking for the price; the channel owner replied that his acquaintance paid, so he didn't look at the bill.
• Viewers added price info, such as 500 pesos per hour for a caddie and a bill of over 10,000 pesos in Clark.
• There were half-joking calls to bring it to Korea, and a note that Golfzon versions in the Philippines are older.
