A pro shop is a sporting-goods shop in a public or private-membership amateur sporting activities facility, most commonly a golf course, where it is typically located in the country club building.
Pro shops are also frequently found at bowling alleys, pool and snooker halls, tennis and racquetball courts, ice and roller hockey rinks, and football (soccer) facilities.
Shops may also be run by a retail manager at larger venues (or those too small to attract a pro).
House pros are often available to advise on game-related issues such as rules, and the proper equipment for particular needs and conditions; and sometimes for instruction, including group lessons and one-on-one training (usually for a fee).
They also sometimes perform paid personal equipment maintenance, such as restringing tennis racquets, drilling and fitting bowling balls, re-tipping pool/snooker cues, and skate sharpening.
