ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — GolfSuites, Inc. announced today the launch of its first GOLFSUITES City Club venue, being developed in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, situated in one of Tampa Bay’s busiest commercial and residential sectors, and planned for opening mid-2024.

ABOUT GOLFSUITES:
GolfSuites is based in Brandon, Florida, and currently operates three traditional golf driving range entertainment facilities in Tulsa, Lubbock, and Baton Rouge, and has just broken ground on its fourth driving range facility near Auburn University. The company also owns land in Madison (suburban Jackson, MS) where it provisionally plans to build a more casual indoor golf simulator venue. Over time, the company business plan is to proliferate three distinct venues –
- GolfSuites – outdoor driving range entertainment facilities.
- GolfSuites City Club – upper scale partially membership-based indoor golf simulator lounges offering higher end dining planned for urban centers around the US.
- GolfSuites Lounge – a more casual indoor golf simulator lounge concept planned for suburban areas around the US.
The GolfSuites President / COO is Scott McCurry, who came to GolfSuites in 2019 after more than 24 years of experience in this sector, first with Macaroni Grill and then with TopGolf, where he helped oversee their growth from 7 to 38 outdoor driving range facilities nationwide. McCurry oversees operations of all three venues.
