In recent years, there has been a huge jump in the number of commercial golf simulator locations in the U.S., growth that mirrors the engagement trend in one of the industry’s fastest-growing segments.

The following one-page members’ overview examines the commercial side of the golf simulator space. Included are estimates on total locations, investment, financial health and more.

Simulator technology has been proven to enhance rather than replace traditional play, with a very small percentage of users reporting decreased rounds. Far more simulator or screen golf participants suggest increased on-course engagement.

This one-page summary examines the broader U.S. simulator and screen golf market, highlighting a participant base that’s more than doubled since 2019, looking at the proportion of “green-grass” vs “non-golfer” users and providing demographics for the various types of golf participants – simulator and screen included.

As for facility operators who are evaluating simulator investments, the below white paper serves as an essential resource by consolidating industry insights, market trends, and operational considerations into a single document.

The intent of this white paper, presented for free thanks in part to research sponsored by The Indoor Golf Shop, is to equip stakeholders with the essential knowledge needed to assess whether indoor simulator facilities align with their business objectives or personal goals.
