Ten Reasons I Love Back Nine® Golf
I've spent my life around golf.
I've played it, taught it, studied it, competed in it, and built my career helping golfers enjoy the game more while playing their best. Throughout that journey, one thing has become clear to me: golfers don't just need more practice—they need better practice. They need better coaching, better technology, and an environment that makes them want to come back again and again.
For years, I searched for a place where all of those pieces came together under one roof.
When I found Back Nine, I knew I had found it.
Back Nine isn't simply an indoor golf simulator facility. It's a complete golf experience designed around today's golfer. Whether you want to learn the game, improve your swing, practice with purpose, compete with friends, or simply enjoy golf year-round, Back Nine provides an experience unlike anything else available.
As I looked at everything Back Nine offers—world-class Full Swing technology, a quiet country club atmosphere, first-class facilities, 24/7 member access, professional club fitting, guided practice, leagues, tournaments, and a growing nationwide network of clubs—I realized this wasn't just another simulator business.
It represented a new model for golf.
One where technology, coaching, convenience, and community all work together to help golfers improve faster and enjoy the game more.
That's why I made the decision to bring my programs to Back Nine.
Back Nine will be the home of Caveman Golf™ and Primal Performance™, where I'll personally lead beginner programs, junior player development, guided practice sessions, equipment fitting, and elite player training.
Golf improvement isn't about one great lesson or one great piece of technology. It's about having the right coach, the right environment, the right equipment, and the right plan—all working together over time.
That's exactly what this partnership creates.
Back Nine provides one of the finest golf environments anywhere, while I provide the coaching, player development systems, and personalized instruction that help golfers of every skill level reach their goals.
Together, we create an unbeatable team for anyone who wants to improve their game and enjoy golf more than ever before.
This book explains why I believe so strongly in that partnership.
These are the ten biggest reasons I love Back Nine—and why I believe it's helping shape the future of golf.
Let's start the countdown.
10. It's Always Sunny and 72°
Golf is hard enough without fighting the weather.
At Back Nine, every day is the perfect golf day. Rain, wind, heat, cold, or darkness never get in the way of improving your game.
Every lesson, practice session, club fitting, or round is played in ideal conditions, allowing you to focus completely on becoming a better golfer and increasing your enjoyment of the game.
Golf improvement begins with consistency, and perfect conditions create consistent practice.
9. Golf Fits My Schedule
Life doesn't revolve around tee times.
That's why I love that Back Nine gives members 24-hour, 7-day-a-week access. Whether I want to teach early in the morning, practice late at night, host a weekend clinic, corporate event, birthday party, or simply squeeze in a quick session during the day, Back Nine is always ready.
Golf finally works around your schedule—not the other way around.
8. Full Swing Technology—The Best in the Business
As an instructor, accurate information matters.
Back Nine uses industry-leading Full Swing technology because it delivers the data golfers need to improve. Ball speed, launch angle, spin, carry distance, club path, face angle, and shot shape provide instant feedback after every swing.
Instead of guessing, we're coaching with facts.
That's one of the biggest advantages indoor golf offers today.
7. A Quiet, Country Club Atmosphere
One of the first things you'll notice about Back Nine is what you don't notice.
No crowded driving range. No endless distractions. No pressure.
Instead, you'll find a comfortable, premium environment where golfers can practice, learn, compete, or simply enjoy spending time with friends.
It's a place you'll actually want to spend time.
6. First-Class Facilities
Everything about Back Nine reflects quality.
The simulators. The member spaces. The practice environment. The attention to detail.
Every visit feels like you're walking into a private club built specifically for golfers who love the game.
5. The Best Coaching and Player Development Available
This is where I believe Back Nine truly separates itself.
I'll personally lead beginner instruction, junior development, guided practice, and my Primal Performance™ Elite Player Training program.
Golfers will also have access to my Caveman Golf™ program—a simple, proven system that makes learning golf "Caveman simple." Whether you're picking up a club for the first time, introducing your child to the game, or you're an experienced player looking to take your game to the next level, Caveman Golf™ provides a clear roadmap for improvement without unnecessary complexity.
For golfers looking to add distance, I'll also offer Mach 3 Speed Training™, a structured performance program designed to safely increase clubhead speed, maximize power, and unlock more distance.
Together, these programs create a complete player development pathway—from your very first swing to elite performance.
When you combine personalized coaching, world-class technology, and structured player development, improvement becomes faster, more measurable, and a lot more enjoyable.
That's what makes the Mike Wray and Back Nine partnership unlike any other indoor golf facility.
4. Professional Club Fitting, Demo Clubs, and the Best Training Equipment
Great instruction deserves great equipment.
I'll personally provide professional club fitting using Full Swing technology to help golfers optimize every club in their bag. Whether we're dialing in wedges, evaluating new equipment, or improving distance gaps, every recommendation is based on measurable performance.
I'll also maintain a premium demo club program, allowing members to hit and compare clubs before making a purchasing decision. Instead of buying based on advertising, you'll experience the difference for yourself.
Members will also have access to the latest training aids and practice tools I use in my coaching programs, creating a complete improvement experience under one roof.
3. Complimentary New Member Training
Every member deserves to start with confidence.
That's why every new member receives complimentary simulator orientation and technology training. You'll learn how to use the equipment, understand your performance data, and make every practice session more productive from your very first visit.
The better you understand the technology, the faster you'll improve and the more enjoyment you'll get from your Back Nine™ time.
2. Local Competition, National Events, and a Nationwide Network
Golf is more enjoyable when you're part of a community.
Back Nine offers local leagues, tournaments, closest-to-the-pin contests, long-drive competitions, member events, and access to a growing nationwide network of Back Nine locations.
Wherever life takes you, there's a community of golfers waiting to welcome you.
