By Emily Ainsworth

Are you a Liv Golf fan, or are you counting down the days until The Ashes? Maybe you’ve even named your feline friend Tiger? If you’ve got a heart of golf (get it?!) and a brain for business, then the booming world of indoor golf franchises could be your ticket to a hole-in-one.

 

The era when golf was an exclusive pastime for weekend warriors at elite country clubs is over. The advent of state-of-the-art indoor golf simulators has revolutionised the sport, opening it up to a wider audience and paving the way for enterprising individuals to capitalise on this opportunity. Today, several key players are competing for dominance in the Australian market, each with their own distinctive experiences and franchise models.

 

At Choose Franchise, we’ve navigated the greens to spotlight some of the premier golfing franchise opportunities in the nation. Let's tee off on a tour of some top contenders:

 

Drummond Golf

With owner-operated stores, you’re assured of exceptional service, expert advice, convenience and competitive prices.
