TeeGo is a UK-based network of golf clubhouses designed for local, distraction-free golf practice.
- The Concept: Founded in London, TeeGo was created as an alternative to "social entertainment" golf venues (like Topgolf or bar-centric simulator lounges). The founders aimed to build a hyper-focused environment strictly for golfers who wanted to play, practice, or get coaching without the noise of corporate parties, bars, or DJs.
- The Launch & Expansion: Operating through its parent company Okava Ltd, TeeGo began rolling out neighborhood-centric clubhouses across London—including locations in Battersea, Hampstead, Balham, and Angel (N1).
- The Tech Evolution: The clubs grew in popularity by utilising cutting-edge Trackman (including Trackman iO) simulator bays. They introduced a tiered membership model (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Off-Peak) and launched a dedicated TeeGo mobile app (integrated with Mindbody) to allow Londoners to seamlessly book 30-to-60-minute local practice slots, cross-London simulator leagues, and PGA-coached lessons.
