Should You Open a Golf Simulator Studio?

[robertsmith23]

I am an entrepreneur and I am interested in starting a golf simulator concept studio in a small town where there are almost no real golf courses. In theory, it should work: people want to try golf, but they have neither the equipment nor access. The idea is to create a space with several high-end simulators, perhaps with swing analysis, individual sessions, even mini-tournaments. But I have some doubts: how difficult is it to retain customers if they are new and not "drawn" into the game? Will the simulator be interesting to people who have never played on a real course? Or does such a business only work in already "golf" regions? Who has launched something similar - tell us what pitfalls did you encounter?

The idea sounds very promising, especially if you focus not only on training but also on entertainment. Even in regions without a strong golf culture, people are interested in new experiences, especially if you present it as an accessible, unusual leisure activity. With good equipment and the right atmosphere, such a studio can become a real highlight in the city.

If you want to build a business on golf simulators, I would start with the official website of Foresight Sports. They have not just equipment, but a whole ecosystem of solutions for commercial use - with software, licenses for courses, multi-user mode, options for mini-tournaments. Contact them, because their managers help not just to buy, but to competently launch a business. Installation, training, branding - everything is thought out. Thus, you will be able to mix entertainment and training services, and these are already two audiences in one place.
