The golf franchise industry has seen an explosion in new and exciting concepts over the past 5 years. With an aging population and many people wanting to get out of corporate America, take control of their schedule, take control of their earning potential and start a new career, golf franchising is answering the call. Many of these new golf franchise systems are following the roots of franchising and offering food related systems. For those who do not want to be stuck in a kitchen or restaurant during their golden years, there are many franchise systems that outdoors and based on activities that have a broad appeal. The game of golf is no exception to this growth.
Traditionally golf franchise systems have been concerned with the sale of equipment through retail stores. Long hours, high investment and over head were just some of the reasons people did not want to get involved in a golf business. Most golf business occurs on the weekends and during holidays. Spending your golden years working 12 hour days behind a counter over the weekend does not sound very golden, does it?
What if there was another opportunity that would get you outside, still be involved in golf, give you control over your schedule and not leave you income up to the latest big bertha club that was created? Synthetic turf products have come a long way over the years and one company IntelliTurf, Inc. actually installs golf greens that hold shots from 180 yards away and play just like natural grass.
IntelliTurfs franchisees are sales and marketing professionals that love golf. They are people who are looking to build a business with a golf career, not buy a job. Golfers who would like to build equity in a business related to their passion. After training they become golf designers of backyard putting greens and consultants for all types of properties from multi-housing developments to some of the nicest residences in their protected territories.
This golf business franchise opportunity calls for the marketing, sales, design and installation of putting greens, short game practice areas, and actual golf courses. IntelliTurfs artificial greens are actually golf greens, not just for putting. They hold shots from 180 yards away and the pace of the greens can be altered to match the greens in the area.
As the owner of this golf business the franchisee can set their own hours, price jobs as they see fit which gives them control of their profit margin and design beautiful amenities that add value to their clients property. This is a good opportunity for an entrepreneur.
While IntelliTurf is primarily focused on golf surfaces, other products are offer for many applications and properties. Artificial turf is installed as lawns for private residences and on public and commercial land. Play areas provide up to 4 inches of cushion for playgrounds at schools, churches, parks and neighborhood amenity areas.
IntelliTurf offers a golf franchise business opportunity but also includes many other applications that golfers and business professionals will enjoy representing.
