What Is Back Nine?
Where Golf Never Sleeps.
Back Nine gives golfers 24/7 access to premium indoor golf — book a bay, show up and play on your schedule.
For franchise owners, that customer experience is powered by a membership-driven model, automated booking and access technology, and minimal staffing.
Customers use Back Nine to practice, play full rounds, compete with friends, join leagues and keep playing when weather, daylight or busy schedules make getting to a golf course difficult.
The revenue model includes:
Monthly Memberships
A recurring base of customers and revenue
Hourly Bookings
Additional revenue from members and non-members
Leagues & Events
Group play, competitions and private events
24/7 Access
Customers aren't limited to traditional business hours
Why Investors Are Paying Attention
It's not just the growth of golf. It's the business model behind it.
01
Recurring Membership Revenue
Many businesses start each month needing to generate the next transaction. Back Nine is built around memberships.
Monthly subscribers create a recurring revenue base, while hourly bookings, leagues and events add revenue on top. You don't start every month at zero.
02
Minimal Staffing
Restaurants and many service franchises can require large teams, scheduling, training and constant hiring. Back Nine is fundamentally different.
Automated booking, software-controlled access and a lean operating model dramatically reduce the staffing burden. You're managing a system — not a large staff.
03
Golf Without the Biggest Limitations
Traditional golf has obvious constraints: weather, daylight, four-hour rounds and course availability. Indoor golf removes many of them.
Customers can practice or play regardless of rain, heat, cold or sunset — and play 18 holes without giving up half their day.
04
Built for Scale
Standardized buildout. Centralized technology. Similar operating systems. Minimal staffing.
Once the first location is operating, the model is designed to be replicated — particularly for investors looking beyond a single location.
The Model
A leaner way to own a golf business.
Back Nine combines a physical location with technology, memberships and a relatively lean labor model. For the right investor and market, that can create a compelling alternative to traditional food, fitness and entertainment franchises.

Why Indoor Golf Has Staying Power
Golf isn't a fad. How people play it is changing.
More than 65 million Americans play or follow golf
Indoor golf gives those consumers another way to participate
Play regardless of weather
Rain, heat, cold and winter don't shut down an indoor facility
Play 24/7
Automated access allows members to book a bay, show up and play on their schedule
Play differently
Practice sessions, full simulated rounds, leagues, competitions and social events can all happen under one roof
Golf doesn't have to stop when the course closes.
A Business Designed Around Technology
Less labor. More automation.
One of the biggest challenges facing franchise owners today is labor. Back Nine was designed differently.
Online booking
Automated customer access
Simulator technology
Membership management
Minimal on-site staffing
Extended / 24-hour customer access
That doesn't mean the business runs itself. Owners still need to drive local marketing, memberships, partnerships, customer experience and overall performance.
But the model is designed to eliminate much of the day-to-day staffing complexity found in traditional brick-and-mortar businesses.
Semi-passive doesn't mean passive. It means your time is spent growing the business instead of constantly staffing it.

Today, Jack and Jill work directly with investors evaluating franchise opportunities across the country. Our job isn't to convince you to buy Back Nine. It's to help you determine whether Back Nine is actually a smart fit for your goals, capital and market. If it isn't, we'll tell you.
