The short answer

Another Nine, the fastest-growing 24/7 indoor golf franchise, opens three Cincinnati locations in Liberty Township and Maineville. Five total in the metro.

Another Nine Opens 3 More Cincinnati Sim Locations

Another Nine just made its most aggressive expansion play yet.

The fastest-growing 24/7 indoor golf franchise opened three Cincinnati-area locations simultaneously — two in Liberty Township and one in Maineville, Ohio.

This brings the total to five Another Nine locations in the Cincinnati metro by September 2026. For context on how this fits into the broader indoor golf franchise boom, see our franchise comparison guide and franchise cost analysis.

The Density Play

Most franchise brands expand by spreading out — one location per city, maximum geographic coverage. Another Nine is doing the opposite.

Three locations in a single metro, opened at the same time, by the same franchise owner. That’s a bet on density over reach. The thinking: if members know there’s an Another Nine within 15 minutes no matter where they are in Cincinnati, membership becomes more valuable. You don’t just join “your” location — you join the network.

This is the same strategy we’ve seen work for 24/7 sim facility models in other cities. More locations in one market = more touchpoints = higher utilization per member.

The Larger Picture

Another Nine now has 75+ territories sold nationwide, making it one of the fastest-growing sim golf franchise brands in the United States. The company hit 50 franchises just three weeks ago, and this Cincinnati cluster puts them well past that milestone.

The brand’s 24/7 access model — members use a keycard or app to book simulator time around the clock — has proven particularly effective in suburban markets where traditional entertainment options close by 10 PM. Cincinnati fits that profile perfectly.

What’s Next

Another Nine is eyeing additional Midwest markets for similar cluster expansions. The company’s approach suggests they’re less interested in being in every city and more interested in dominating the cities they choose.
