The Golf Simulator Industry is Booming

Want to own a golf business? Of course you do. But how?

Running an indoor golf simulator is one way to get into golf that many are trying and we’ve got the data to tell you how they are doing.

If you’re reading this it’s because you would like to own a golf business. It’s been a desire floating around in your head for who knows how long. You’ve searched and reviewed and are ready to take action.

Whether you are planning to invest in an indoor golf franchise or build one on your own. Our research will help you make an informed decision and plan a great business. You may even find it is a more profitable path to open your own golf center than it is to buy into an indoor golf franchise.

But something is holding you back. . . you wonder

• how profitable are indoor golf bars?
• how much is an indoor golf simulator?
• is a golf simulator bar near me a good idea?
• who goes to indoor golf facilities?

​What if there was a way to demystify this new golf business and model how well it would do in your town.  What if it cost you less than two rounds of golf to get the facts along with an Excel model that could help you evaluate your assumptions and test profitability?  Wouldn’t you give it a shot.

After all, you wouldn’t have major surgery without first talking to another doctor, would you? So why would you start a new business without first reviewing how folks in the business are doing today?

In business second opinions are often quite expensive, especially when it comes to testing new concepts. This is why franchises are so popular, they appear to take all the risk out of a decision by handing you a proven model.  But that model comes at a high cost.  They can run you anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000.  That is a lot of cash.

Yardstick Golf can help! We’re here today to offer you something different. Something simpler. Something much cheaper.  

You need a basic business plan, facts on how others are doing and a way to evaluate the opportunity in your home town.  We have all of that, for less than a few rounds of golf.

What You’ll Get: Yardstick Golf completed an extensive survey of golf center owners across the United States seeking to understand key business trends, strategies and drivers of profitability. We combined the survey data with information on things such as local golfers, weather and average daily traffic to gain a deeper understanding of what drives success for indoor golf centers.

We’re offering two products off this research

• Copy of the six page analysis of study results
