This is my first Hole-in-One ever, and yes it happened on a Simulator… Does it count? I'll let you decide.
I used a gap wedge on a 132yd Hole 7 at X-Golfs Aria CC which is designed to resemble Inter-Burgo Country Club.
In this league, I went into the week with a handicap of -1 for 9 holes. I typically shoot around 90 outdoors so this already felt like I way overperformed in the simulator the first 7 weeks of league. Preset leagues settings have 6' concedes which definitely helps.
I am not sure whether I should be more excited that I shot the best 9 holes I'll probably ever shoot, or about the hole-in-one. I had two friends playing with me who are similar in skill to me, whose scores are below mine.

I wouldn’t count it for myself, but I’m not going to ruin your good time.
Awesome round! The HiO does not count.
Counts for something, but personally I’m not jumping up and down and sprinting all over the place as I would if I hit one in real life. If you want to count it, do it, who cares?
Sure you can count it, but no one will ever treat it as a real one.
Not meant to sound dickish but it absolutely doesn’t count
I’ve got one. I don’t count it. It was a fun experience on the simulator, but it is not real, IMO.
I think you gotta sprint 100+ yards to the hole to really count
You now have one simulator hole in one. You still have 0 real holes in ones though.
Sorry but absolutely not. My wife and I are about even golfers at around a 12. I have played significantly more video games than her in the past 35 years. I hammer her in the sim all the time. The sim is a video game.
I mean to me it’s the same as getting a hole in one on the X box pga tour games. It’s great but doesn’t count.
Which course?? It doesn’t even count as a simulator HIO if you were playing the pirate course. Lol.
It’s as real as an outdoors HIO. Don’t let the others bring you down. You and your group lost their minds and you probably bought a round of drinks. That’s what matters. 😁
31 with a 7?!
The last hole is a par 6?
Yes it counts!… as a simulator HIO
Don’t count but atleast you can say I got close.
You shoot 90 outdoors but on the Sim you’re shooting in the 60s? Yeaaaa not a real representation of your golfing skill.
Still fun though.
I stopped going to Xgolf because they juice the distance and cut sidespin by 50%. If you tinker with the default settings you can get MUCH more realistic numbers. But I had this same experience a few years ago – every weekend under par at Xgolf, back to real life scores on the course.
Yep you owe me a drink
No it doesn’t count.
Pickles!
No it doesn’t count
It’s definitely a sim hole in one! Nice shot
Going to start posting Tiger Woods video game hole in ones… So fucking stupid
So…a…simulated hole in one.
