Golfers along the I-45 corridor are getting a new place to swing. Construction crews officially broke ground April 20 on Another Nine’s indoor golf-simulator outpost in Oak Ridge North, an entertainment newcomer set to transform about 2,635 square feet of retail space into a high-tech practice and play zone. The opening is currently targeted for late summer to early fall 2026.
A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing tied to the project lists the 2,635-square-foot scope and pegs the construction value at roughly $300,000. Company representatives confirmed that work kicked off April 20, details that were first reported by Community Impact.
What The Space Will Offer And When It Opens
Another Nine’s Oak Ridge North buildout will follow the company’s signature setup of private, book-by-the-hour simulator suites. The format combines practice tools, social play and small-group hangouts, with a model that leans heavily on self-service access and remote guest support instead of a traditional staffed clubhouse.
The brand’s locations page already lists Oak Ridge North as a future Houston-area site and notes that it will serve as the online portal for reservations once doors open, according to Another Nine’s locations page.
Where The New Studio Will Land
The simulator spot is slated for a retail bay in the Shoppes at Oak Ridge North, a neighborhood center that sits directly off I-45 with clear highway visibility and quick access to The Woodlands Mall. Property listings for 26824–26850 IH-45 Fwy outline the center’s tenant mix and remaining vacancies, putting the new studio in front of steady drive-by traffic as well as nearby subdivisions. The LoopNet listing details the center’s layout and available space.
Why It Matters Along I-45
In a corridor where entertainment and experiential tenants have increasingly stepped into gaps left by more traditional retailers, a private-suite golf sim studio adds another reason for people to linger into the evening and on weekends. The concept could help stretch visit times at the center and pull in groups looking for something a little more active than a standard dinner-and-a-movie night.
The company has been rolling out both franchise and company-owned locations in several markets, according to its LinkedIn updates, pointing to a steady regional growth strategy. Bookings and membership details are already posted on Another Nine’s website, and the public locations map currently flags Oak Ridge North as under development. Reservation options are expected to show up there as opening day approaches. This story will be updated once a firm ribbon-cutting date is announced.
