Apex Golf Instruction

The Back Nine is the fastest-growing indoor-golf franchise in the United States, with 150+ locations across various stages of development as of early 2026. Founded in St. George, Utah by attorney Wil Bangerter in 2020, the chain runs an unusually lean format: 24/7 self-service access, no on-site staff, app-controlled door entry, and Full Swing simulators in every bay. Strictly golf — no food, no bar, no gym — with 3-6 simulators per location.
