Are You a King?™
A Putter King franchise provides a challenging, exciting, fulfilling and fun work experience for those with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and the desire to take control of their future.

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Putter King franchisee, please reach out. At Putter King, we look for the following qualities in potential franchisees.
Strong Work Ethic
The candidate must demonstrate that when everyone else was jogging, they were running. The potential franchisee must be highly self-motivated.
Leadership
The franchisee should be able to motivate, inspire, organize, develop, coach and guide any employees they might have.
Versatility
The franchisee will need to be able to wear many 'hats' (e.g. owner, manager, cashier, accountant, etc.).
Creativity
To keep customers coming in the door, this business requires the franchisee to continually be finding innovative and creative new ideas (i.e. marketing, hole design, etc.).
Financial and Business Acumen
The candidate must have strong business and financial skills. The franchisee should be able to demonstrate that they have a firm understanding of accounting in addition to past business experience.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
Potential franchisees need to possess a passion for creating something new, a certain appetite for risk-taking, the ability to persevere through adversity, and a 'never give up' attitude. The candidate shouldn't just have a dream, but also the follow-through to do whatever it takes to make it happen.
A note from Kevin
This site is an archive. The door is still open.
Putter King began in 2010 as a daydream on the Yamanote line — 18 themed holes, a little character named Putty, a warehouse in Oyama that never got built. The app shipped, the scavenger hunts connected people across three continents, and then the world moved on.
I kept the dream. If you’ve read this far and something in you lit up — if you’re thinking “I could actually build one of these”— I’d love to hear from you. I’m open to helping, investing, or co-founding a real Putter King location with the right person.
