golfnext-hero-about-us

By Golfers. For Golfers. Since 2012.

We started because we saw how golf could be simpler. 12 years, 400+ venues, and 18 countries later, we're still building - driven by the same passion for the game and the people who run it.

Why We Exist

We make it easier for players to enjoy every part of a golf venue - and easier for venues to run a smarter, more profitable operation.

Our systems help players use venue resources better: check in faster, rent equipment on their own terms, and access facilities around the clock. For venues, that means better utilization of courses, buggies, simulators, and driving ranges - with less manual work and more revenue.

That's it. No complicated vision statement. Just better golf experiences, powered by technology built by people who actually play the game.

How It Started

Peter Semler started his first company at 19. By his early 30s, he'd grown it into a graphic house with 65 employees - and sold it in 2008. Then came a few years of figuring out what was next.

The answer came on the golf course.

Peter had fallen in love with the game in his mid-30s - not just the sport itself, but the whole world around it. The social side, the travel, the community. But one thing kept bugging him: the way golf venues handled check-in, payments, and self-service was painfully manual. Paper-based. Outdated.

As someone who loved both technology and golf, the opportunity was obvious.

In 2012, the first prototype was installed at Silkeborg Golf Club. The company was called ProBox24 - because everything the club pro did behind the counter was now packed into a box that could run 24 hours a day.

The name changed over the years. The mission never did.

The Name Changed. The Mission Didn't.

In 2018, when we built our app for voucher management, we needed a name that could grow beyond hardware. ProBox24 became GolfMore - a brand that reflected our expanding platform.

By 2021, GolfMore was what everyone knew us as. Our driving range system had become our largest product, and we were serving venues across Europe.

Then came an unexpected twist. A respected partner in the golf industry had - coincidentally - chosen a very similar name. The confusion was real: support calls went to the wrong company, and emails landed in the wrong inboxes. After good conversations, we agreed it was best for everyone if we evolved our name again.

The new name came to our founder in the shower one morning. What do our products actually do? They get players ready for what's next - the next tee time, the next round, the next season. And what does our company do? We push the industry toward what's next - the next technology, the next integration, the next innovation.

GolfNext. It took about five minutes to know it was right.

On March 16th, 2026, we officially became GolfNext. New name. Same team. Same commitment. Same passion for the game.

What Drives Us

1
We listen first, then build
Most of what we create starts with a conversation with a golf venue. We hear the challenges. We sit with the frustrations. And then we build something that solves the problem - often a little more thoughtfully than what was asked for.
2
We want to be at the forefront of innovation
Golf technology has been slow to evolve. We're not afraid to take tough decisions and push the industry forward. When we see a better way, we build it - even when nobody's asked yet.
3
Support is not an afterthought
In a self-service world, your staff need to know someone has their back. Our hotline is open 7 AM to 10 PM CET, every single day — including weekends and holidays. It's consistently one of the things our venues praise the most.

The People Behind GolfNext

We're a small, dedicated team with HQ based in Denmark. Everyone here shares two things: a love for technology and a love for the game.

Peter Selmer

Founder & Chief Product Officer

Peter founded GolfNext (then ProBox24) in 2012 after selling his 65-person graphic house and discovering his two passions were a perfect match: technology and golf. He's the one who sees the product opportunities before anyone asks for them - and the one who still gets excited about every new integration.

Lives in Ry, Denmark, with his wife. Father of two grown-up children, Oscar (26) and Clara (22). Current handicap: mid-20s (it's been lower, but building a company takes time). Also a dedicated padel player.

Backed for Growth - Rooted in the Nordics

In 2025, VaekstPartner Kapital joined GolfNext as a strategic co-owner. Their role is clear: help us bring our platform to golf venues across Europe and beyond.

But international growth never means forgetting where we come from. Denmark and the Nordics are our home market - the most digitally advanced golf market in the world. Our Nordic customers are the foundation on which everything else is built. That will never change.

We grow outward. We stay rooted.
