Rounds, memberships, league fees, events, rentals, food and beverage, pro-shop items, sponsorship, and future rewards.

Booking, check-in, future payment concepts, scorecards, leaderboards, inventory, reporting, and owner visibility.
Market entry
Course conversions, landowner partnerships, municipal recreation, resort amenities, and careful partner development.

FAQ
Important early questions.
Is ZipGolf already selling franchises?
This public website is for information and interest only. Any formal franchise activity would require proper legal review, disclosures, and documentation.
What is the required acreage?
It depends on layout, land condition, parking, clubhouse, setbacks, and the local operating model. The calculator helps start the conversation.
Can an existing course convert only part of its land?
That is one of the most promising use cases. A compact model can help activate a property without carrying the full burden of a traditional course.
Does ZipGolf include software?
The planned ZipOS layer is designed to support booking, scorekeeping, inventory, reporting, events, and owner operations.
