FRESNO \u2014 A Visalia-based indoor golf and entertainment center is putt-ing its best foot forward with plans to expand into northern Fresno. <\/p>\n
Mulligan\u2019s Sports Bar and Indoor Golf, which opened its first location in July 2024, is a tech-powered indoor golf and entertainment venue offering food and drink. According to officials, the new location will feature eight indoor golf simulators, a 46-seat bar and dedicated dining area, as well as room for private events such as birthday parties and fundraisers. <\/p>\n
The Fresno spot will also offer the same programming as their original location, which includes league play and partnerships with local businesses and organizations. Officials say they are looking to hire 20 people to staff the business, including someone to fill the role of general manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cMulligan\u2019s has become more than a business. It\u2019s a passion,\u201d said co-owner Scott Wright in a press release. \u201cAs a Central Valley native, I love being able to create opportunities for our community to connect over something I love: the game of golf.\u201d<\/p>\n
While construction is currently underway at the new 12,500-square-foot facility at 9439 N. Fort Washington Road, officials say the location is slated for an early 2027 opening. Co-owner Shane Moss told the Mid Valley Times that the expansion has been a long time in the making, noting that they had always planned to eventually open five locations over a five-year period.<\/p>\n
After surveying the Fresno-area and observing what he described as a growing worldwide love for off-course golfing, Moss said that he and his business partner Wright agreed the move would be a good opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe figured, if we\u2019re not gonna do it now, when will we make the next move?\u201d Moss said.<\/p>\n
The original Mulligan\u2019s location operates out of the Main Street Theatre building in downtown Visalia. Since their initial opening in 2024, officials say they have hosted over 200 competing golfers. They also support social events and community give-back nights.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat started as a vision to create a place where people could come together over golf, sports, and great company has grown into something really special in Visalia,\u201d Moss said in a press release. \u201cThe Fresno space lets us take everything we\u2019ve learned and build on it, with a real dining room and plenty of space for leagues, events and game days. We look forward to building that same sense of community here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO \u2014 A Visalia-based indoor golf and entertainment center is putt-ing its best foot forward with plans to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":507283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[4249,11104,112,114,113,412,5386],"class_list":["post-507282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-businesses","tag-expansion","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news","tag-restaurants","tag-visalia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=507282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/507283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=507282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=507282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=507282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
