Our Entrepreneurial Story

Par4Success began in the back of Chris Finn’s car with nothing more than a treatment table, resistance bands, and a dream to deliver better results for golfers in early 2013.

Our first facility, affectionately called “the shed,” was located at Hillandale Golf Course in Durham, NC. Opening in late 2013, the 20×20 space quickly became the foundation for our unique approach to golf fitness and performance training.

A year later, we moved to Cary, NC, subletting from Athletic Lab. Here, our 20×25 space included a hitting bay, treatment table, and a private office. Sharing a premium training facility allowed us to grow our membership until, 12 months later, we expanded to a 5,000-square-foot facility in 2015.
