PITCH, the immersive social golf concept, has signed a franchise agreement to open at least seven venues across the United States over the next five years. Its first US Clubhouse is expected to open in California in early 2027.
Founded in 2019 by PGA professional coaches, PITCH was created to redefine the traditional golf experience by combining immersive golf technology with music, premium food and drink, and a vibrant social atmosphere.
Today, the brand operates five sites, with locations in London’s Canary Wharf, Soho and the City, alongside venues in Manchester and Dublin. Each venue features Trackman technology, delivering an exceptionally realistic golf experience for experienced players, beginners, corporate groups and local communities seeking a modern way to play and socialise.
Building on its success in the UK and Ireland, PITCH has been working with Presman & Colard, the award-winning international franchise consultancy, to develop its franchise model and support its expansion throughout the UK and internationally.
The partnership has now secured PITCH’s first franchise agreement in the United States. Working with an experienced multi-unit development partner, the brand will open at least 7 franchised Clubhouses over the next five years.
The first location is expected to open in California in early 2027, introducing PITCH’s distinctive combination of golf, hospitality and competitive socialising to the US market.
Further openings are planned across Texas, Nevada and Arizona, establishing an initial presence in four key states where the brand sees considerable potential for long-term growth.
PITCH will also continue exploring new franchise opportunities across major UK cities and selected international markets, supported by Presman & Colard.
Charlie Mander, Co-Founder of Presman & Colard, said :“Over the past six months, we have worked closely with Jess and the PITCH team to prepare the business for franchising and take the opportunity to market.
“PITCH is a fantastic and proven concept with multiple revenue streams, a strong operating model and a genuinely distinctive customer experience. We are therefore not surprised by the level of international interest the brand has attracted.
“We have secured an excellent development partner who shares the team’s ambition and is passionate about bringing high-quality social golf experiences to communities across the United States. This agreement represents an exciting first step in PITCH’s international growth.”
Jessica Ormrod, Chief Operating Officer of PITCH, said: “Signing an agreement to open our first sites in the United States is a major milestone in PITCH’s history and an important step in our international growth strategy.
“The US has an extraordinary passion for golf, and we believe our concept is ideally positioned to offer something distinctive for both committed golfers and customers looking for a fun, vibrant place to spend time within their local community.
“We are incredibly excited about what lies ahead and look forward to sharing more about our plans as we work towards opening our first US clubhouse in early 2027.”
