The all-new experience is set to hit 13 new markets including Southern California, Northern California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and South Florida. Additional mobile markets will be announced in the coming months.
“Making Honma more accessible to discerning golfers throughout North America with our mobile experience continues to fulfill our mission of bringing premium, unsurpassed equipment to the golfers who value quality and craftsmanship.” – Brad Holder, Honma Vice President, Marketing,
Additionally, Honma Experience fitting destinations have opened recently at Reunion Resort & Golf Club in Orlando, Florida, Ko Olina Golf Club in Oahu, Hawaii; and The Golf Performance Project, Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
At a Honma Experience, golfers can test a full array of Honma’s hand-crafted heads and shafts, as well as leading third-party OEM shafts during the one-on-one personalized fitting session.
The experience will also include a private hitting space and data from the Foresight GC Quad launch monitor designed to optimize Honma equipment performance. Each fitting will consist of a follow-up email with launch data and equipment recommendations.
Speaking on the new club fitting experiences, Brad Holder, Honma Vice President, Marketing, stated
“We are excited to partner with these premium golf destinations and introduce more golfers to the Honma Way of beautifully-crafted performance.
Honma is a special brand with a unique story of traditional craftsmanship meeting modern style and performance. Partnering with luxury golf destinations like Reunion, Ko Olina and The Golf Performance Project, Victoria aligns perfectly with our vision of Honma reaching more equipment-savvy golfers.”

Great idea on Honmas part! One of the best examples of “knowing your target” and customer cultivation ive seen in a long time.
This will work better than they probably imagine. Might take a couple years to see the fruits of their labor. But if they do it right and have the right kind of people in those trucks they will in turn create a strong following of raving customers. Nothing better than having people out there bragging/validating to their friends they like and trust “how awesome Honma is”.
When you are serving a customer who isnt shopping on price alone you need to have a strong focus on quality and/or convenience.
My prediction is if they execute this properly, Honma will become one of the top brands stateside in 3-5 years.
