X-GOLF

X-Golf franchises operate indoor golf entertainment facilities centered around golf simulators that allow customers to play and train indoors, complemented by food and beverage services in a fun, upbeat atmosphere. The business model involves franchisees developing and running these venues, purchasing simulators from affiliates, and targeting a market of active young adults aged 25-65, ranging from avid golf enthusiasts to first-time players seeking convenient, weather-independent entertainment. This taps into the growing indoor golf simulator market while competing in the broader sports entertainment industry.
