Indoor Golf Industry Research & Data Studies

Original research and data studies on the U.S. indoor golf simulator market, built from our directory of real venues and public U.S. Census data. Every figure is aggregate and data-derived — no fabricated numbers.

Available studies

• The State of Indoor Golf in America — the annual report: venue density per 100k residents, growth since tracking began, new listings by metro, franchise vs independent mix, simulator bay capacity, technology adoption and local market demographics across U.S. markets.
• Golf Simulator Pricing: Hourly Rates by State — the continuously refreshed pricing benchmark: median and average hourly simulator bay rates by state and metro, plus the national price distribution. Rates are approximate, auto-extracted from each venue's own website.
• Indoor Golf Franchise Landscape — the simulator franchises and chains building indoor golf across the US, side by side: expansion model, published franchise fees and investment ranges per public franchisor disclosures (each source linked), live directory location counts, and a map of every listed location.
• Indoor Golf Venue Growth & Closures by Market — the forward-only, listing-basis view of net directory growth since tracking began plus the current mix of open, likely-closed and verified-closed listings by market. Likely-closed (an unverified signal) is always shown separately from confirmed closures, and no survival or closure rate is estimated.
