It’s official, The Back Nine is open for business—and it never closes. The state-of-the-art indoor golf simulator facility is a brand new addition to Carmel City Center, featuring 24/7 access to more than 50 world-renowned courses. But the owner, Coleman Gerstner, had more than just golf in mind when he decided to build the business. “I set out to create something meaningful,” he says. “A space where people could connect, improve, and unwind on their own schedule.” The Back Nine Golf Carmel offers monthly, annual, and corporate memberships to players who can access its Full Swing simulators—the official simulator of the PGA tour. Members can track every swing with instant data as feedback and enjoy the luxury of three-hour tee times in a relaxed, low-key environment. Whether it’s a solo practice session, a night out with friends, or a corporate event, the experience is built around comfort and quality.
“It was designed for people like me: busy professionals, parents, and people who want to get better at golf but who want to do it on their own terms—to supplement outdoor play with the technology and feedback that help elevate their game,” says Gerstner. “Anytime, and as much as they want.” Public tee times can be booked online at their website. For Gerstner, a Hamilton County resident, Carmel City Center is the perfect location for The Back Nine, keeping company with sought-after restaurants, retail, and experiences already available nearby. “We love being at the heart of a thriving, golf-loving community,” he shares. “These are people that value excellence and experience, and The Back Nine is proud to offer both.” sl For more information, visit thebackninegolf.com/carmelin.
