Development & Launch Timeline
From initial commitment to grand opening, our process is designed to build momentum, reduce risk, and generate revenue before the doors ever open.
Unlike traditional concepts that build first and hope demand follows, Links Golf Cafe is engineered to create demand, community, and cash flow before construction begins.
Phase 0: Founders Club Pre-Sale (Weeks 1–12)
Before construction begins, we activate one of the most powerful parts of our model:
👉 Pre-selling Founders Club memberships
During this phase:
Early Members secure exclusive Founding Charter positions
Significant upfront capital is generated
A built-in community begins forming
Local awareness and demand accelerateure
This model is inspired by ClubCorp, which used this strategy to build over One Billion USD in golf assets.
👉 Outcome:
Revenue, demand, and community established before construction begins
Phase 1: Pre-Construction Planning (Weeks 8–16, overlapping Phase 0)
While Founders Club sales are underway, we simultaneously begin:
Architectural design and layout
Engineering coordination
Permitting preparation
Vendor and contractor alignment
👉 Key Advantage:
Sales and development happen in parallel, reducing total time to opening.
👉 Outcome:
Fully designed space ready for approvals and build
Phase 2: Permitting & Approvals (Weeks 12–20)
We navigate the permitting process alongside local authorities:
Building permits
Health and food service approvals
Electrical and mechanical permits
Landlord approval
Because of our standardized model, this process is streamlined and repeatable.
👉 Outcome:
Approved plans ready for construction

This is where the vision becomes reality:
Demolition and site preparation
Framing, electrical, and plumbing installation

Flooring, lighting, and finish work
Kitchen and service area buildout
We coordinate closely with contractors to ensure timelines and budgets stay on track.
