What AVID GOLF does
AVID GOLF operates a single indoor golf simulator and sports lounge facility at 1580 Taylor Avenue in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Founded in 2022 by Luc Bohunicky, the venue combines six Foresight Sports GC Hawk ceiling-mounted launch monitors running FSX 2020, FSX Play, and GS Pro software with a 22-seat front-of-house bar and lounge, a 24-seat back-of-house simulator area, a putting green, and a big-screen TV for sports viewing. The GC Hawk platform provides access to over 2,500 true-to-life virtual courses and advanced ball and club-head analytics; bays 1 and 2 offer a paid club-head data upgrade ($4 per club, $2 per club for 10+ clubs). Three PGA-certified coaches, Ryan McMillan, Bri-ann Tokariwski, and Bret Thompson, deliver individual, couples, and group coaching clinics on-site.
The business generates revenue across seven streams: hourly simulator bay rental ($35/hour in summer, $36-$54/hour in winter), coaching sessions ($65-$100), club fitting ($50 per hour), a 22-seat licensed bar with local craft beer partnerships (Brazen Brewing Company house beers, Good Earth Coffee, JURA espresso, A Little Pizza Heaven food delivery), memberships (Club Membership $100 one-time, Club Fellowship $240/month, Summer Membership $140/month), physical and eGift cards, and the AVID League Majors ($25 per player, 16-week Texas Scramble). GTM is direct-to-consumer via the avidgolf.club website with golfbooking.ca online reservations, supported by Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn organic social, email newsletter, and direct corporate/group sales for events accommodating 4-40 people. Average customer spend is approximately $40-$50 per visit. AVID GOLF operates year-round, addressing Winnipeg's climate constraint on outdoor golf. The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no named enterprise customers, and remains a privately held, single-location operator.
