Another Nine

Another Nine is a premium indoor golf concept built around private, 24/7 simulator suites and a highly efficient, technology-driven operating model. The business combines private golf simulator suites, rather than open bays, powered by Trackman simulators and A9OS, a proprietary operating system that manages booking, access, and facility controls. The result is a premium, self-service environment where customers can play, practice, or socialize on their own schedule, without the friction of traditional golf or crowded, heavily staffed entertainment venues. What sets Another Nine apart is its focus on privacy, automation, and simplicity. Unlike most concepts in the category, it is designed to operate without traditional employees. Members book online, enter through secure access, and enjoy their session with no on-site staff required. This removes the burden of hiring, scheduling, and managing a team while still delivering a high-quality experience. Paired with 24/7 access and private suites, the model maximizes revenue per square foot, supports strong recurring revenue, and runs more like a tech-enabled subscription business than a traditional retail or entertainment venue. Revenue is driven by monthly memberships, supported by hourly bookings and small group events. Recurring revenue, no traditional staffing, and automated operations create a highly efficient model that doesn't require a constant on-site presence. Owners drive local awareness, partnerships, and customer experience, while systems handle day-to-day execution. As off-course golf becomes one of the industry's fastest-growing segments, Another Nine sits at the intersection of technology, recreation, and lifestyle, offering a modern, scalable business with operational simplicity rare in franchising.
