WHY FRANCHISE 5i?

4 Rock-solid reasons to franchise with us that you can't argue with.

The hottest Golf Simulator Business is teeing up the opportunity of a lifetime for Franchisees

If you're looking to invest in a sports franchise with staying power, unmatched technology, and a vibe that sets you apart from the rest, it’s time to get familiar with us. We're Five Iron Golf, one of the top, fast-growing indoor golf businesses around the world, and we're redefining what it means to be part of a golf business franchise. Let's break down the top 4 reasons to choose us when narrowing the focus of your investment.

1) Trackman: The only technology serious golfers trust

A lot of things set us apart, but one that stands out is our investment in technology. Every Five Iron location is built on a foundation of the gold standard of golf simulation: Trackman. Our Trackman golf simulators provide hyper-accurate Doppler radar and high-speed camera swing analysis, trusted by both Tour pros and weekend warriors alike. From ball speed, spin rates, and attack angle to carry distance, height, smash factor and club path, players receive professional-level feedback for every swing they take.

This isn’t just a gimmick to hook beginners, either. Five Iron Golf is providing a Trackman-powered, data-driven golf experience that attracts serious golfers but also keeps them coming back since it's an experience they're unlikely to find anywhere else and is not easily affordable or replicated at home. Whether you're dialing in your driver on the virtual driving range, fine-tuning your golf swing alongside our highly-trained coaches, or competing in one of our seasonal leagues, our investment in keeping our Trackman technology up-to-date ensures players are practicing and playing with best-in-class technology, at all times.

2) We're a brand that doesn't just follow trends.
We start them.

Arguably tied with technology in the "sets us apart" category, we are proudly not your dad’s country club. We aim for, and strategically protect, a bold, edgy, design-forward tone of voice and vibe in our spaces. We're a sports franchise that blends authentic golf roots with locally-inspired street art and an urban-cool attitude. Think neon lights, bespoke craft cocktails, Top-40 playlists, and unique food menus that rival your favorite gastropub.

We're the place where serious competitors and casual golfers collide — and everyone walks away a fan. Our customer experience is different. Our interiors are instagrammable. Our brand is instantly recognizable. And our growing network of worldwide locations proves that what we’re doing resonates — whether it’s in downtown New York City or Chicago, or in a recently announced new market: Florida.

Read how our biggest franchise deal yet is bringing 12 new Five Iron Golf locations to Florida. As one franchisee describes his experience, "We’ve seen firsthand the impact this brand can have in creating vibrant community hubs."

3) Support that's Actually supportive

Becoming a Five Iron Golf franchise partner means joining a collaborative community, not competing against one. Our franchise business model is designed to set you up for success from day one—through site selection, development, onboarding, marketing, on-site operations, and beyond. We offer hands-on training, ongoing support, and the kind of franchise agreement that values long-term partnership.

Your location isn’t on an island; it shouldn't operate like one. We work closely with all of our franchisees to ensure you're maximizing revenue streams through lessons, leagues, simulator rentals, events, and food and beverage.

We’re not just selling you a system — we’re building an empire with you.

4) The golf boom isn't slowing down

Still wondering whether Five Iron is the right sports franchise investment for you or your group of investors? Here's something to chew on:

Golf participation in the U.S. is at an all-time high. Women, young players, and casual fans are fueling its growth, and additional leagues and fandom outlets like LIV and TGL are keeping it in the cultural spotlight.

In short: golf isn’t going anywhere. What started as a COVID cure for boredom has proven staying power. And while many industries are wondering how to survive the AI wave, golf remains a real-world, human experience... one that people crave now more than ever.

A Five Iron franchise doesn’t just offer entertainment; it offers escape. It’s a business that’s fun, relevant, and built for the long game. No pun intended (okay, fine, maybe it was intended.)

Named a Top 100 Businesses in Golf by the National Golf Foundation, Five Iron Golf is more than a buzzworthy brand, it’s a proven opportunity.

Whether you're a seasoned multi-unit operator or just diving into your first golf simulator business, Five Iron Golf offers the software, system, style and support to stand out in any market. With a proven revenue model, while growing at a record pace, and backed by a brand that’s both cool and has a credible reputation, there’s never been a better time to join us.
