Figures above are as disclosed in Golf Envy's most recent FDD (registered 2025). Source: California Dept. of Financial Protection and Innovation — Franchise Registration · filing app-32677. The risk level, the Item 19 figures, how it compares to peers, and the litigation & churn detail are in the full report.
Golf Envy franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Golf Envy does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Golf Envy — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (many fitness franchisors do disclose), and the full report reads the risk signals Golf Envy's FDD does contain — fees, litigation, and outlet churn — against peers. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Gym & fitness franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Golf Envy lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Golf Envy. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Golf Envy closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Golf Envy will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Golf Envy's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a fitness of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Golf Envy's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Golf Envy's churn ranks against fitness peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Golf Envy?
Golf Envy's franchise is offered by Golf Envy Franchising, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Golf Envy franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Golf Envy — who is the franchisor?
Golf Envy's most recently filed FDD (2025) names Golf Envy Franchising, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Golf Envy franchise cost?
Golf Envy's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $276,400 – $696,900 and a 7% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. The full report breaks down every fee line and benchmarks it against fitness peers.
How much profit does a Golf Envy franchise make?
Golf Envy makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Golf Envy at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labour and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Golf Envy disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Golf Envy's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing; the report focuses on the verifiable risk signals instead.
Are there lawsuits against Golf Envy?
We do not publish a litigation answer for Golf Envy: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
