I posted a few days ago about opening a driving range due to the lack of any in the town I am in with two courses. After running numbers for hours this seemed like a maybe break even business idea. I was approached by someone yesterday about opening an indoor golf simulator facility. I did my due diligence and found out that this could possibly work! These are the numbers as of now:
Upstart cost would be as little as $85,730, this includes land on the corner of a Highway entering town, the building itself, furnishings, two simulators, four outdoor batting cages, landscaping, outdoor sign, lighting for batting cages, indoor putting green, and a hunting simulator (I live in Missouri so this could bring in non-golfers as well, thoughts?) Most of the work will be done by family as my father is a carpenter and does electrical and my father-in-law is a contractor.
The town has two courses and a population of 10,000 with tons of city traffic from KC 45 minutes away and a town population of 20,000 20 minutes away, and a couple towns of 8,000 30 minutes away. Also the city has a tournament that brings in actually 500+ players every year for the whole week (last post I said 400 I believe).
I would plan on doing monthly tournaments and seasonal leagues through-out the year. Probably look into a liquor license and sell for another source of income.
I would like to here your thoughts and maybe things I should look into or think about! I'll continue to update on the progress if this starts to gain traction, and if it does and you guys help out who knows maybe even let you come down and play a round on the house :call-me:
