Golf Business Expo

In one day you can see equipment, simulators, course machinery, software, insurance and pro shop suppliers side by side, and hear practical seminars on running a golf business. Golf Business Expo is a B2B golf trade show in the United Kingdom, held on 7 October 2027 at Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire, from 9am to 5pm.

The organizer, The Elite Luxury Events Ltd, describes it as the UK’s B2B golf trade show, aimed at golf course managers and people who run other golf businesses, from resorts and stores to driving ranges.

Suppliers you can compare on the show floor

The main exhibition hall, which the organizer calls demo friendly, lets you see products in action. The exhibitor brochure form groups suppliers into golf equipment, accessories and clothing, simulators, club and course, insurance and finance, travel, accommodation and associations, so you can cover pro shop and golf retail supply, golf simulators and indoor golf and clubhouse and operations in one visit. The website also publishes a page of show offers.

The 2026 exhibitor list gives a sense of who you can expect to meet:

• Course machinery and robotic mowing firms such as Kress and Autonomow
• Golf cart makers including Club Car
• Equipment and apparel brands such as PING and Adidas Golf
• Range and simulator companies such as inrange, Power Tee and Apex Golf Simulators, and netting supplier Huck Nets

Getting to Sywell Aerodrome

The venue was chosen to be easy to reach for visitors and exhibitors from across the UK. The organizer says Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire gives room for a growing main exhibition area alongside the seminar zone, in an easily reached, well connected location.
