Our first location is a 60-bay facility based in the Greater Tulsa, Oklahoma area (Jenks, OK).
Our second location, a 56-bay facility located near Texas Tech University that we took over in late 2020, just now commencing its re-branding from 4ORE! Golf to GolfSuites.
Our third and newest location, a 40-bay facility planned for opening in early-2022.
With less than 10% of the market filled, we see an opportunity for hundreds of golf entertainment venues to be built in the US. At GolfSuites, we believe we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend and address a market that is begging for attention.
All of our clubs are Cleveland – known for creating extremely forgiving and user friendly sets of clubs.
Srixon provides balls (Q-Star and Z-Star), apparel, gloves, etc. in our facility and gift shops.
Aside from these partnerships, we are also engaged in strategizing with at least a dozen other companies across the country.
We are ready to meet this demand by offering our customers a host
of experiences with an emphasis on a more a golf centric approach.
Imagine a hot summer’s day, with no shade to seek refuge and a line on the first tee that seems longer than your drive to the course. Couple that with an inevitable hunger pang in your stomach after a few holes and the looming threat of a thunderstorm…
Sound familiar? As fun as the game of golf is, it comes with some distinct setbacks. Both avid and new golfers alike have been searching for a more convenient, less time-consuming, and more affordable alternative to the game they love.
And while there are several venues that already exist in the hybrid golf-themed entertainment space – there is still a lot of room for improvement – and a resounding desire for a better overall experience.
Our venues will offer realistic golf entertainment and a holistic game improvement experience, including a 250+ yard driving range, simulated green sites and hazards, professional quality golf balls and equipment, coaching, restaurants, bars, and multiple types of live music and entertainment.
Golf participation, specifically first-time players, has grown steadily over the last five years and is projected to keep growing. Even more telling is the fact that “very interested” non-golfers who expressed an interest in playing grew from 15 million in 2017 to 34.2 million in 2020, according to the National Golf Foundation. There are also nearly 35 million more who say they are “somewhat interested” in playing.
Even more exciting is the number of first-time golfers that new hybrid golf and entertainment facilities are attracting —prefer an experience that is interactive, takes less time, and offers an unintimidating experience.
This pool of potential golfers over the past three years is attributable in part to the growth and popularity of off-course golf. Almost half of this untapped demand consists of “lapsed golfers” who played on a course previously, but not within the past year, while the rest are those who never played golf on a course before.
The preference for an alternative golfing experience is almost on par with the traditional style of game – and the trend is rising – with off-course participation increasing almost 10% in 2018 (estimated 23 million), while on-course golfers comprised 24.3 million.
The category of young adults (18-34 year olds) is the sport’s biggest customer age segment, with
6.1 Million on-course participants and another
3.9 Million off-course only participants.
We will use the funds from this Reg A+ offering to develop golf entertainment venues facilities that offer a fun, all-inclusive, and engaging environment for both avid and recreational golfers; upgrading technology to provide new capabilities, critical game improvement data, better engagement through gamification, customization, and social sharing.
