About GolfCave
GolfCave opened its first location in Clark, New Jersey in 2012, founded by Dave Wechsler before the indoor-golf industry hit its growth phase. The chain has since grown to 13 locations across New Jersey and New York, expanding via a turn-key franchise model that's added most of the recent footprint.
Every GolfCave is built around TrackMan simulators in private "caves" — single-bay rooms members let themselves into via 24/7 keyed access. The format trades hospitality for privacy: no front-desk staff during member hours, no shared bays, and a membership-first economic model with a base monthly rate and an initiation fee. Non-members can book during standard business hours.
The chain's footprint sits in the densely populated New York / New Jersey corridor, with locations in Clark, Green Brook, Eatontown, Randolph, New Providence, Marlton, Livingston, Plainsboro, Holmdel, Fair Lawn, Staten Island, Flemington, and White Plains, NY. The geographic concentration plays to the membership model — members typically book a single home location and visit weekly.
Equipment partnerships include TrackMan and Club Champion (for club fitting). The chain offers reduced rates for military, teachers, and first responders.
