GOLF+ Hosts Its First VR Open This Week With A Grand Prize Trip To St. Andrews In 2027

Experience The Open Championship from Home: GOLF+ VR Launches Official Virtual Tournament

The digital fairways are heating up as GOLF+ VR announces a landmark collaboration with The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. This partnership introduces the inaugural VR Open to the GOLF+ Tour, offering enthusiasts a chance to compete for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to the home of golf.

A Championship-Grade Virtual Experience

Starting July 16, coinciding with the real-world 154th Open Championship, players can test their skills on a meticulously crafted digital recreation of Royal Birkdale. This course joins an expansive library of over a dozen professional-grade venues already available within the GOLF+ ecosystem.

To elevate the sense of immersion, the developers have gone beyond simple terrain mapping. The virtual Royal Birkdale features authentic Championship branding, bustling grandstands, and designated spectator zones, mirroring the atmosphere of the actual tournament currently taking place. It is akin to playing a high-stakes round at a major championship while the world’s best professionals are walking the same fairways just miles away.

The Road to St. Andrews: Grand Prize Details

The stakes for this virtual competition extend far beyond digital bragging rights. Every participant who successfully completes all rounds of the VR Open will be automatically entered into a sweepstakes for a VIP excursion to the 155th Open in 2027. This grand prize package for two includes premium hospitality and exclusive access to the event at St. Andrews, providing a bridge between the virtual game and the pinnacle of professional golf.

Accessing the Fairways

For those looking to join the action, the Royal Birkdale course is available as a standalone purchase for $11.99. Alternatively, players can opt for the GOLF+ Pass, priced at $9.99 monthly or $99.99 annually, which unlocks the entire catalog of premium courses.

GOLF+ is currently available on the Meta Quest platform for $29.99, which includes three base courses. The title is also featured in Meta’s Horizon+ subscription service. Furthermore, PC gamers can prepare for the upcoming Steam release by adding the title to their wishlist, expanding the reach of this VR golf phenomenon to a broader audience.
