The Golf GODS hate me
So I was kicking around the idea of opening an indoor golf location. It's very likely a "pipe dream" if you will. I've never been to a golf simulator outside of Golf Galaxy/Dicks Sporting Goods/Golfsmith.
So I ask those of you that have. What do you look for in a good location?
How many bays do you expect a location to have? Is there a minimum/maximum?
Do you expect food/beverages to be available? Do you expect alcohol be available?
How about a "practice" green?
Do you expect club building/repair to be available? Do you expect new/used clubs to be available for sale? Golf balls?
A few of the other simulator locations I found while doing a google search have "rounds" of $20 for 9 holes and $40 for 18 holes. Are these prices you'd be ok paying?
Do you expect TV's with golf, other sporting events on? What about Wifi?
I guess expect maybe the wrong word to use for these examples but I'm not really sure of what word I'm looking for either.
The location I would be looking at is at the end of a shopping center. It is a 5,000 sq ft store room. There is a range of fast food, pizza shops, sit down restaurants and a bar around the location. There is also a national grocery store in the same shopping center with a grocery store/super center across the street. There is a golf course less than 3 miles from this location. Could that be a hindrance to business? I don't believe they have a simulator.
I'm open to ideas/opinions on this. Like I said it's likely just a dream, but every good business started as a dream right?
