X-Golf is proud to share that we were named a national finalist in the 2025 Australian Franchise Industry Awards, recognised alongside some of the country’s biggest names in the fitness, retail and logistics industries, plus more.
While we didn’t claim the top spot this year, being shortlisted among such established brands is an achievement that fills our entire network with pride. It’s a humbling reminder of how far X-Golf has come, and a celebration of the innovative spirit that continues to drive us forward.
Since day one, X-Golf has set out to do things differently. By combining the very latest sports simulator technology with a welcoming, social atmosphere, we’ve created an experience that makes golf accessible, fun and inclusive for everyone, from seasoned golfers to complete beginners.
Our recognition as finalists is a testament to the dedication of our franchisees, venue teams and support staff who bring this vision to life every day.
With 32 venues now open across Australia and New Zealand, our focus on providing robust franchise support, from site selection and lease negotiation to marketing, training and day-to-day operations, ensures each new location is set up for success from the very beginning.
This award journey has been a chance to reflect on the strength of our growing community and the trust our customers, franchise partners and suppliers continue to place in us. It’s their passion and commitment that power our brand and help us break new ground in the franchising space.
Being named a finalist in the Franchise Council of Australia’s annual Industry Awards motivates us to keep raising the bar. We’re inspired to keep expanding, keep innovating and keep creating places where people can connect, compete and share good times – all while growing the game of golf in a fresh and exciting way.
Thank you to our network, industry peers and the Franchise Council of Australia for this recognition.
While we didn’t take home the trophy this time, we walk away with even greater determination to build on what we’ve achieved so far, and to keep showing what’s possible when you dare to do things differently.
