Indoor golf franchise opens in Pinellas, Manatee counties

A new indoor golf franchise has laid down turf in Pinellas and Manatee counties. The Back Nine recently opened locations in Oldsmar and Bradenton.

At the Back Nine, golfers can try their hand at more than 250 internationally known courses using simulators by TrackMan and Full Swing. In addition, players receive analytics in real time to help them improve their game. Facilities are climate-controlled so golfers can play no matter the weather.

The Back Nine does not have any employees, according to Korey Rogers, who owns the Oldsmar location. Players book their tee times by using the app or going online, then receive a confirmation text that enables them to access the facility and get started.
