The Back Nine Golf is the fastest growing indoor golf simulator franchise offering 24/7 access to world-class technology in a modern, welcoming environment. Powered by Full Swing simulators; the chosen tech of Tiger Woods and used in his golf league - the TGL. Our facilities are designed for golfers of all levels to practice, play, and elevate their game.
We bring golf to the public in a way that can’t be found anywhere else. With 24/7 access, available golf-pro lessons, premier memberships (monthly and annual), and the most accurate tracking technology on the market, The Back Nine is revolutionizing the golf experience.
We’re not here to replace the traditional golf course; instead, we offer a climate-controlled, year-round venue where players can sharpen their skills with precision technology and experience world-famous courses that might otherwise be out of reach.
Founded in the US in 2021 by Wil Bangerter, a lawyer by profession with a lifelong passion for golf, the first franchise was sold in 2023. Since then, 450+ franchises have been sold across the US!
Back Nine now also has presence in Canada and Australia.
The Back Nine is a family of passionate, hard-working people who share one mission: to make golf more accessible, social, and enjoyable.
We are now ready to expand across the UK and have a bold vision to launch 250+ franchises nationwide over the next decade. Bring the game you love to your community in ways you’ve never imagined. Join The Back Nine Golf franchise in growing the brand by providing an indoor golf experience like no other.
