“If you drink, don’t drive. Don’t even putt.” - Dean Martin
Introduction:
Excitement is building in Henderson as the highly anticipated Links Golf Cafe prepares to open its doors in the summer of 2025! Located in the bustling Galleria at Sunset, this innovative concept promises to revolutionize the way locals enjoy golf, food, and socializing.
Offering a unique blend of state-of-the-art golf simulators, gourmet coffee, and an upscale yet welcoming atmosphere, Links Golf Cafe is set to become Henderson’s ultimate destination for fun, business, and community connections.
The founders, Ray Pel, Tom Matzen, and Simon Hedley, bring decades of experience and vision to this flagship location. With expertise spanning coffee shops, sports clubs, entrepreneurship coaching, and high-growth businesses, this trio of founders has set out to redefine the way people experience golf and business networking in an innovative, multi-purpose space.
“This is more than just a golf venue,” said co-founder Ray Pel. “We’re creating a place where golf enthusiasts, food lovers, and business professionals can come together, enjoy their passions, and connect with like-minded individuals in an upscale yet relaxed environment. We believe Henderson is the perfect place for our flagship location because of its growth, community feel, and the unmet demand for something like this.”
A Unique Concept Combining Golf, Coffee, and Business
At the heart of Links Golf Cafe is its unique combination of golf simulators, gourmet coffee, and a sophisticated space for business masterminds and networking. Designed to cater to both seasoned golfers and newcomers, this concept offers a year-round golf experience in a temperature-controlled environment. Imagine playing iconic courses like Pebble Beach or St. Andrews on cutting-edge Full Swing™ simulators—the same technology used by golf legends like Tiger Woods and Jon Rahm.
For those not interested in golf, Links Golf Cafe offers an equally compelling experience with its curated café menu. You can sip on custom-roasted organic coffees, enjoy Gourmet “Links” sausages prepared sous-vide for ultimate tenderness, or unwind with a fresh fruit smoothie. The café’s ambiance is perfect for casual hangouts, business meetings, or just relaxing after a day of shopping at the Galleria.
Multiple Ways To Have Fun for a Strong Business Model
What sets Links Golf Cafe apart is its diversified approach to having fun. Unlike traditional golf courses or cafés, the business model incorporates multiple income streams, ensuring both flexibility and resilience.
- Golf Simulators: With premium Full Swing™ simulators offering access to 58 world-class courses, golfers can enjoy an immersive, high-tech experience without the constraints of weather or time. Golfers can drop in for a quick round, join leagues, or participate in themed events like Pebble Beach Tuesdays or Tesla Thursdays where exciting prizes like trips or Tesla leases are up for grabs. The simulators also feature other sports like soccer, baseball, and even Zombie Dodgeball, making it fun for all ages.
- Food and Beverage: The café features a gourmet menu anchored by signature "links" sausages, Hole In One™ cookies, and Golfer's Zen drinks, all designed to create a memorable and delicious experience.
Indulge in our signature gourmet sausages, expertly crafted and steamed sous-vide style for ultimate tenderness, then perfectly crisped to order with a torch. It’s the gourmet fast food experience you've been craving – elevated, delicious, and unforgettable.
Quench your thirst with our custom-roasted organic coffee, Golfer's Zen, available hot or iced. For a refreshing twist, enjoy our fresh fruit smoothies, or unwind with a selection of wine and beer by the glass.
- Memberships: The venue will offer various membership tiers, including Golf Founding Charter Memberships and Business Golf Founding Charter Memberships for those looking to connect with other entrepreneurs and professionals. Memberships are designed to create a community of repeat visitors and include perks such as exclusive event access, networking opportunities, and discounts.
- Business Masterminds: For local entrepreneurs and business owners, Links Golf Cafe will host the Back Nine Board of Advisors, a mastermind group aimed at helping members grow their businesses. Regular workshops and networking events will be a cornerstone of this revenue stream, appealing to professionals who want to combine business with leisure.
- Events and Catering: The venue’s flexible space, including private boardrooms and podcast studios, makes it ideal for hosting corporate events, birthday parties, and special occasions. The catering service is another potential revenue stream, targeting local businesses for lunch-and-learn events or team-building experiences.
