ABOUT

Pioneer Golf Company was founded in 2024 with a simple mission: to give golfers the tools, products, and knowledge to play anytime, anywhere. Based in Minnesota and proudly serving the entire state, we specialize in custom golf simulator installs built with precision, passion, and years of experience.

​

The founder, Jake Howes, has been in the golf simulator industry for over seven years—starting as the General Manager at a Trackman facility, Golf Lounge 18, and later leading national marketing efforts for Golfzon America and Uneekor. From managing trade shows to producing some of YouTube’s top simulator content, Jake has worked with PGA Tour pros like Beau Hossler, Sungjae Im, Kevin Na, and Cameron Champ.

 

Jake started playing golf at age 10, enjoying time on the course with his grandfather during summer visits to Kiawah Island, South Carolina. That early connection to the game inspires our commitment to innovation while honoring the game, and delivering expert guidance for both training and entertainment.

​

When not building simulators, you can find Jake camping up north, cooking, playing pickleball, and spending time with his family.
