& The People Behind It

& Nine is a family business built around a simple belief — that golf is at its best when it's social, accessible, and a little bit unexpected. We started this because we kept seeing the same thing: events that needed an anchor, communities that needed a reason to gather, and people who assumed golf wasn't for them.

We built & Nine for all of them.
