> What Golf Sim Data measures, covers and costs.

## What is Golf Sim Data?

The first market intelligence platform for indoor golf studios. It reads every bookable timeslot at 122 studios every 5 minutes and turns what sells into sell-through and revenue, each with a range.

## What does Golf Sim Data sell?

Five products: revenue forecasting, utilization forecasting, feasibility analysis, market research and bespoke research ([products](https://golfsimdata.com/products)).

## How is utilization measured?

Capacity that disappears from a public booking calendar between polls is a booking; utilization (sell-through) is the share of offered capacity sold by each slot’s start ([methodology](https://golfsimdata.com/methodology)).

## How is revenue estimated?

Measured units sold times each venue’s posted prices, packages and memberships, as P10 / P50 / P90 with an A–D grade.

## How accurate are the figures?

Every estimate states its range and grade, and unobserved slots stay unknown, never zero. Operators who share actuals can calibrate revenue in a [bespoke engagement](https://golfsimdata.com/products/bespoke-research).

## Which venues and markets are covered?

122 studios across 60 US markets, from single-bay studios and unmanned 24/7 boxes to multi-bay simulator lounges and franchise chains; New York City has the most, with 13. [Bespoke research](https://golfsimdata.com/products/bespoke-research) adds any studio with an online booking calendar.

## Where does the data come from?

The public booking calendars customers see, read without logins or private APIs, and each venue’s published prices.

## How current is it?

Slots are polled every 5 minutes until they start. Pro sees each day once it ends, Investor within the hour; Free opens one fixed day, Thursday, November 5, 2026.

## What does it cost?

Free costs nothing; Pro is $200 a month or $1,800 a year; Investor is an annual agreement, contact us. Research is quoted per project ([pricing](https://golfsimdata.com/pricing)).
