Indoor Golf Pricing Insights: Burlington, Ontario (Winter 2024)

Our complete Winter 2024 pricing insights for all active indoor golf businesses in Burlington, Ontario.

Burlington, Ontario is a competitive market for indoor golf. With an affluent and young demographic the city has 9 indoor golf businesses, 6 of which are full service and 3 of which are self service. With a total population of 196,048 people, this indicates a 21,783 people per indoor golf business.

6 of 9 Burlington indoor golf businesses engage in the practice of ‘dynamic’ pricing, which means they have different prices based on room type (standard vs. VIP) and booking time (weekday vs. weekend, busy hours vs. off hours). This pricing practice is one of our top recommendations for indoor golf businesses and reflects the competitive nature of the Burlington indoor golf market.

The analysis below compares full service and self service golf business pricing trends in Burlington.

We plan further analysis in the future.

  2. Self Service Indoor Golf Business: An indoor golf business with limited or no on premises employees whereby customers book and pay online.
  3. Assumption: Not all indoor golf businesses are uniform in deciding what constitutes a weekend vs. weekday price. Some businesses include Friday and some do not.
