Canada’s most premium and exciting off-course golf brand, LaunchPad, has recently announced a big move for the company. The Inrange® partner has agreed a deal to spread their wings and bring the best in golf, entertainment and large group events to the USA. This is the start of the group’s global brand expansion with the first venue set to open in Minnesota in 2025. 

Having been involved with the group for some time now, we’ve seen first hand how their customer-first approach to their offering is a key to driving real success for building a golf brand in an ever-busy market. Barry Ehlert, Paul Nonis and the whole LP team have been working behind the scenes for many years to ‘tee up’ this expansion of their brand. We asked them what this move into America means for them and this is what they had to say:

“Our vision for the LaunchPad brand is now starting to come to fruition. We want people from all corners of the globe to visit LaunchPad venues and feel part of the LP community. This first venue outside of Canada is a major milestone for us and one that our whole group is proud of. 

\\ Barry Ehlert, CEO, LaunchPad Golf‍

The new two-storey, 25,000-square-foot facility will include a 160,000-square-foot driving range fitted with the latest Inrange technology, 40 heated golf suites, two bars and a full-service restaurant that can service more than 500 people at any given time. 

Building will commence shortly in Prior Lake, MN - and the range will be situated alongside Mystic Lake Casino Hotel where locals and tourists are sure to spend time.
