Golf system

A method for operating a golf facility including a plurality of physical targets in a target area, and a striking area from which golf balls are struck into the target area, the method comprising:

• receiving, with at least one processor and from at least one sensing device, one or more parameters defining travel of a physical golf ball struck from the striking area;
• associating, by the at least one processor, the parameters defining the travel of the struck golf ball with a player profile, the player profile corresponding to ball location data defining a virtual location of a virtual golf ball on a virtual golf hole;
• based on the one or more parameters regarding the travel of the physical golf ball struck from the striking area and golf hole data defining relative positions of a tee-off location and a pin location for a virtual golf hole, updating the ball location data to define an updated virtual location of the virtual golf ball on the virtual golf hole;
• and
• based on golf facility data including data regarding positions of the plurality of physical targets in the target area of the golf facility relative to the striking area of the golf facility, generating signals to provide an indication of a particular physical target of the plurality of physical targets provides information regarding a direction of the pin location based on the updated virtual location of the virtual golf ball and the locations of the physical targets relative to the striking area.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium or media having stored thereon computer-readable instructions which when executed, configure at least one processor for:

• receiving, from at least one sensing device, one or more parameters defining travel of a physical golf ball struck from a striking area of a golf facility, the striking area from which golf balls are struck into a target area including a plurality of physical targets;
• associating the parameters defining the travel of the struck golf ball with a player profile, the player profile corresponding to ball location data defining a virtual location of a virtual golf ball on a virtual golf hole;
• based on the one or more parameters regarding the travel of the physical golf ball struck from the striking area and golf hole data defining relative positions of a tee-off location and a pin location for a virtual golf hole, updating the ball location data to define an updated virtual location of the virtual golf ball on the virtual golf hole;
• and
• based on golf facility data including data regarding positions of the plurality of physical targets in the target area of the golf facility relative to the striking area of the golf facility, generating signals to provide an indication of a particular physical target of the plurality of physical targets provides information regarding a direction of the pin location based on the updated virtual location of the virtual golf ball and the locations of the physical targets relative to the striking area.
