24/7 indoor golf is becoming more accessible through Another Nine's expansion of its self-service simulator concept across Cincinnati. Powered by the company's proprietary A9OS platform and Trackman technology, each location offers private simulator suites that can be reserved online and accessed around the clock without requiring a membership. By eliminating traditional clubhouse amenities such as restaurants and bars, the concept focuses on flexible, technology-enabled play while maintaining a lean operating model for franchise owners.
For the golf and entertainment industries, this approach demonstrates how automation can extend operating hours and reduce staffing requirements without sacrificing the customer experience. The membership-free format also lowers barriers for casual players while creating recurring demand through hourly bookings. As consumers continue seeking convenient, on-demand recreational experiences, self-service sports venues could encourage more operators to adopt digitally managed facilities that maximize asset utilization and improve profitability through around-the-clock access.
