Problems we are solving

Competitive socializing concepts: golf, bowling, darts, pickleball and many others continue to attract large crowds but lack variety of offerings to succeed long term. Many of these locations open extremely busy but then fall into the rut of a 20-30% falloff after year 1. They continue to struggle with low guest frequency (1-2x per year visits) and trying to reverse slowly declining sales trends.

Family entertainment centers (arcades, go karts, putting, other offerings) are always looking for the next big ‘attraction’ to draw wide-ranging demographic crowds to their facilities.

Golf entertainment concepts have been around for nearly two decades. They have evolved from very large (10-14 acre) outdoor facilities to small, indoor golf simulators and putting concepts

* Only 1 ‘attraction’ – gets old for participants; doesn’t appeal to enough people over time

* 1 player at a time for simulators and outdoor experience. 

Problems we are solving

* Lots of sitting around watching for others as well as low engagement for less serious and non-golfers

* Inability to provide new attractions or games due to facility size (outdoor facilities) and expensive, non-flexible build outs (putting concepts)

Many golf ranges have gone to a ‘gamified’ range but are simply nothing more than a typical driving range with swing data for golfers and some games for non-golfers (but don’t have a welcoming spectator environment to attract social and non-golfers

These ranges also frequently have:

* Sensitivity to weather as they have no indoor options 

* Often can’t open at night since range isn’t lit

* Poor spectator environment and/or no indoor facility to offer a better player and social golfer environment

Driving ranges, gamified ranges, putting concepts and family entertainment centers seek ways to increase customer frequency, combat inclement weather, & maximize capacity with updated attractions.

SmashSwing Immersive Golf will be providing two offerings to address the issues seen in the market today:

1) Licensed, patent-pending, multi-player immersive golf ‘theaters’ offered to family entertainment centers, movie theaters, driving ranges/golf courses, hotels and resorts… all looking to add an indoor, golf-themed UNIQUE attraction

2) Our own venues complete with multiple Immersive Golf Theaters,  ‘The Roar’ sports bar, projection mapping, tech-driven putting (far better than any other offering in the market today) and, where allowed by landlords & cities…a 60-yd fully netted outdoor ‘short range’.
