BLUFFTON, S.C., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- X-Golf Hilton Head, the indoor golf entertainment venue serving Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the greater Lowcountry, today announced its grand reopening as a corporate-owned location of X-Golf America, following the company's acquisition of the store from its previous franchise owner. The celebration features a free public event Friday, Oct. 23, beginning at noon, plus a list of upgrades for regulars and first-time visitors alike at 1414 Fording Island Rd., Suite C-102, in Tanger Outlets 2. Guests can reserve a bay online at playxgolf.com/locations/hilton-head or by calling (843) 548-8164.

"Bringing X-Golf Hilton Head under corporate ownership is a direct investment in this community," said Michael Ruvolo, CEO of X-Golf America. "Hilton Head is one of the great golf destinations in the world, and we want this location to set the standard for what an X-Golf can be. Whether you're a low-handicapper staying sharp between rounds or you've never swung a club, there's more to see, play and enjoy than ever, from our state-of-the-art simulators to our full bar and lounge."

Guests visiting the newly reopened location will find the following upgrades:

• Upgraded Simulator Technology: Every simulator now features sharper graphics, an expanded library of playable courses, and new software and app technology. Guests hit real golf shots into X-Golf's giant screens, with a signature ball return and auto-tee system that keeps play moving between shots. Learn more at playxgolf.com/tech.
• Refreshed Menu and Full Bar: A full bar serves cold beer, cocktails and the classic drinks golfers expect at the turn, alongside a refreshed menu of easy, crowd-pleasing bites, all priced so another round never costs more than playing one.
• More Ways to Play: Pool, darts, shuffleboard and a lounge area give groups plenty to do between shots.
• National League and Tournament Play: X-Golf Hilton Head now gives guests access to the X-League Fall Season, where local golfers can compete against players across the country (details below).

The upgrades reflect X-Golf America's investment in making X-Golf Hilton Head South Carolina's go-to destination for indoor golf.

"When X-Golf America takes ownership of a location, we put the full weight of the company behind it," said Garrett Ripsam, franchise success manager for X-Golf America.
