Founded in Oklahoma in 1986, Golf USA began franchising operations in 1989 with the goal of bringing quality golf equipment, club repair, and outstanding service to golfers throughout the world. Currently Golf USA operates over 50 locations in 12 countries, including over 20 locations throughout the United States.
With a strong emphasis on customer service and great brands, Golf USA franchise stores have had a long history of success in many markets across the United States. Golf USA stores range from 2,500 to 7,500 square feet in size and carry a large selection of name brand equipment. Most stores offer club repair, along with custom club and ball fitting services to enhance a player’s overall performance.
Golf USA locations are individually owned and operated, in most cases by an owner that is local to that community. This local bond has been a key component in the success that many stores have experienced. A typical Golf USA owner is not only involved with their store, but their entire community.
Whether you are a golf club or an individual there are new investment opportunities in golf. Invest in your passion! Golf is a top down sport. What is happening on the PGA and LPGA tours now is what will be happening at your local club in five years. Own a state-of-the-art Golf Center with advanced Golf Technology & Indoor Golf Simulator complete with a High Definition Championship Golf Simulator, the most advanced in the market today and is based on actual pictures of golf courses - the result is spectacular, you feel you're actually looking at the golf course and not a computer simulation. The Golf Simulator also has a module for golf club fitting. Golfers can try various club heads and shafts to find the best fit for them. The business uses the AMM TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) 3D 12-Sensor system and K-Vest to record every move the golfer makes from address through backswing, transition, impact and follow through. A separate system using the tiny AmmSensor is used for biofeedback. The business also uses the SAM PuttLab and the Zelocity Pure Launch monitor both inside and on the range.
