BACK NINE GOLF UK

About The Back Nine

The Back Nine is revolutionising the UK golf scene by delivering a pure, 24/7 indoor golf experience focused entirely on the player. By stripping away the high overheads and complex operations of traditional food and beverage hospitality, we provide golfers of all abilities with uninterrupted access to world-class Full Swing simulators—the pioneering technology trusted by Tiger Woods and chosen for TGL.

Proven US Success, Engineered for Great Britain

Founded in the United States in late 2021 by entrepreneur Wil Bangerter and scaled alongside investor Brady Carlsen, The Back Nine has experienced rapid growth, selling over 565 franchise licenses across the US.

Now established in the UK under British Franchise Association (BFA) standards, the brand is led by UK CEO Ash Poulton (QFP)—bringing nearly a decade of franchise leadership alongside Head of Operations Liam Levy, as well as Head of International Growth and International Franchise Association (IFA) Board Member Dustin Hansen. With fully tested software, established UK vendor networks, and operational venues on the ground, the brand is actively rolling out its network toward a vision of 250+ locations nationwide.
