Our story

More than a swing.
A whole afternoon.

Birdies & Beaches is a veteran-owned, San Diego–local mobile golf simulator company. We bring tour-grade gear and a great host to your backyard, brewery, ballroom, or beach event — and we treat your guests like the day matters.

The story

Why we built this.

Birdies & Beaches is, before anything else, a family business. Dorian and Jessica Spencer launched it in 2026 after twenty years of Navy life and a corporate chapter that paid the bills but didn't quite light them up. They wanted something they owned together. Something that fit a SoCal Saturday. Something they'd actually pay for if someone else were running it.

A premium mobile golf simulator was the answer that kept making sense. It combines the parts of military hospitality that work — show up early, sweat the details, treat every guest like they came to see you — with the parts of San Diego living that work — keep it warm, keep it casual, keep the kids included. Tour-grade equipment. No country-club attitude.

Today, Birdies & Beaches operates across San Diego County — from backyard birthdays in Carmel Valley to corporate kickoffs in Sorrento Valley to welcome events at the Hotel del. Over the next three years, we plan to license the Birdies & Beaches playbook to other veteran-owned operators — so families in Orange County, LA, and Scottsdale can run their own canopy-and-cooler operation under the same brand and the same values.

What we believe

The four things we don't compromise on.

If we couldn't deliver on all four, we wouldn't be doing this.

Show up early. Stay late.

Our team arrives 60 minutes before your guests do — never the other way around. We break down quietly after the last ball is struck and leave the space exactly as we found it.

Every guest counts.

Kids, grandparents, first-timers, scratch golfers — everyone gets a fair shot at the tee, a lefty club if they need one, and a host who's actively rooting for them.

Tour gear, no pretense.

The same Foresight launch monitor, real-grass turf, and 4K projection the pros use on tour broadcasts. No corners cut on the equipment. No country-club attitude with the customer.

Hire vets. Buy local.

We hire San Diego veterans whenever we can, source from San Diego suppliers when we have a choice, and give 15% off to active military and first responders on every package, every time.

🇺🇸 Veteran-owned

Proudly veteran-owned. Proudly local.

Birdies & Beaches is built on the things military hospitality does well — arriving early, sweating the details, taking pride in the small stuff that makes the big stuff work. When you book us, a meaningful share of every dollar goes back into hiring more San Diego veterans, partnering with veteran-led suppliers, and supporting veteran-focused charities through our event partnerships.

Who you'll meet

The crew running your event.

Every event has a producer on-site from setup to breakdown. You meet them once, you book them again.

DS

Dorian Spencer

Founder · Producer

U.S. Navy veteran with over twenty years of service. Before launching Birdies & Beaches, Dorian spent several years in corporate operations and sales — the playbook that now drives how the business books, runs, and grows.

JS

Jessica Spencer

Co-Founder · Client Experience

The other half of the family business. Jessica brings the warmth, the planning, and the small-detail thinking — custom signage, welcome touches, personal follow-ups — that turn a one-time booking into a returning customer.

For larger events, we bring on additional certified hosts from our San Diego network. Every one of them has run at least 20 events with us.

Our mission

"To bring premium golf experiences anywhere — through a fun, social, and uniquely Southern California atmosphere."

Whether your event is six guests on a Tuesday or three hundred guests at a Saturday gala, our job is the same: build the kind of afternoon people text each other about for weeks afterward.
