Five Iron Golf, with 18 locations across the U.S., introduced a franchising program.
“Independent data supports our position that the future is very bright for modern, non-traditional golf experiences,” said Jared Solomon, CEO and co-founder of Five Iron Golf. “According to the National Golf Foundation, for the first time, more Americans are playing ‘off-course’ golf more than playing on green grass. This shift in consumer behavior mirrors our growth strategy, as we’ve opened eight locations since the start of 2022, with five more coming online later this year.”
Five Iron Golf’s expansion to a franchise model is similarly rooted in data, with early signs of success at its two international locations in Singapore and New Delhi, India (opening this summer).
“Moving forward, our franchise program will serve as an accelerant for additional growth so that we can keep pace with increased consumer demand,” added Solomon. “As operators ourselves, we have experienced and perfected all aspects of the business, from build-outs to programming and service. We’re excited to attract franchisees who, like our team, are passionate about the game of golf and eager to increase its approachability and accessibility.”
This year, Five Iron Golf expects to add new locations in Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, and Indianapolis, among others.
