The audience

A growing audience buyers want, in a setting they can't reach elsewhere.

Off-course golf participation has surged over the last five years. Today over 30 million Americans engage with off-course golf annually, and the demographic indexes exactly where premium brands compete: high household income, high discretionary spending, and high openness to new brands.

The growth story

The sport's fastest-growing segment, with no advertising rails built around it yet.

Traditional golf has been flat for years. Off-course golf (driving ranges, simulators, modern entertainment venues) has gone vertical. Brands have noticed. There is no equivalent of the PGA Tour sponsorship system for the place where most golfers actually spend their time.

A category in the same window the early days of stadium signage were.

The audience is large, growing, and engaged. The inventory exists. The sponsorship rails do not. LinkLuxe is building them, range by range, ahead of the brands and agencies that will be bidding for this inventory in 2027 and beyond.

How it compares

Better attention than digital. Better targeting than billboards. Better CPMs than both.

Digital is getting more expensive and less effective. Programmatic CPMs are up, attention is down, attribution is breaking under new privacy regimes. Traditional OOH delivers reach without targeting. LinkLuxe sits between them with what each is missing.

Attribute Programmatic Digital Traditional OOH LinkLuxe
Attention quality 1 to 3 sec, declining Passing exposure 45 min sustained, screen-free
Audience targeting Strong, but eroding under privacy changes Broad geographic only Self-selected affluent golfers, demographically indexed
Ad blocking and skipping 30%+ blocked or scrolled past Possible to ignore None. Brand is in their hands.
Frequency per session 1 to 3 impressions 1 pass 60 to 100 ball contacts plus bay signage
Effective CPM $15 to $40 (display), $30 to $80 (CTV) $8 to $20 $6 to $15 effective
Category exclusivity None Rare Standard across all packages
Measurement Cookie-dependent, deteriorating Impressions estimated QR plus promo redemption plus lift study

The math

How a Core package actually performs.

A worked example using observed range data. Flagship facilities we partner with see 8,000 to 15,000 visits per month. We model conservatively in every campaign proposal.

Core Package · 2 facilities · 90 days
Avg. monthly range visitors per facility 10,000
Avg. balls hit per visitor 75
Facilities × Months 2 × 3
Total ball impressions 4.5M
Plus bay signage exposures ~600K
Total exposures ~5.1M
Package cost $75K
Effective CPM $14.70

This is the raw, conservative number. It treats each ball contact as a single impression, which understates attention. A ball impression is not a 1-second banner skipped on a feed. It is an object in your customer's hand during a moment of focused, intentional engagement.

Adjusted for attention quality using attention-based methodology (Lumen, Dentsu), the effective CPM drops significantly versus digital benchmarks.

  • Programmatic display attention-adjusted CPM: $40 to $90
  • CTV attention-adjusted CPM: $50 to $110
  • LinkLuxe Core attention-adjusted: $6 to $12
  • Plus category exclusivity, rarely available in digital or traditional OOH at any price

Numbers improve further at the Takeover tier, where multi-facility density drives down per-impression cost and unlocks formal lift study capability.
