Five Iron Golf announced a strategic partnership with Golf Saudi to launch multiple Five Iron Golf locations throughout the country. The first venue is expected to open in Riyadh in 2026 and will be designed as one of Five Iron’s flagship locations. Measuring 16,145 square feet, it will be situated on the ground level of the PIF Tower, Riyadh’s tallest building, located in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD).
Founded in 2017 in New York City, Five Iron Golf has 36 locations across 16 states and five countries, including Dubai, India, Singapore, and Australia. The locations feature tour-level simulators, professional instruction, Callaway club fitting, a global membership program, and full-service sports bars and restaurants.
Backed by Callaway Golf and Enlightened Hospitality Investments, the growth equity fund led by restaurateur Danny Meyer, Five Iron reports that the company is “rapidly expanding through corporate development and franchising, with over 60 additional locations in the pipeline.” New openings are planned across the U.S., including the Northeast, Midwest, and additional markets abroad.
“We believe Five Iron is more than just a place to hit balls, it’s a cultural experience that has helped shape the modern face of golf,” said Jared Solomon, co-founder and CEO of Five Iron Golf. “We’re excited to bring our brand, energy, and commitment to inclusivity to Saudi Arabia. As the Kingdom builds a vibrant golf ecosystem and inspires a new generation of golfers, we’re proud to be part of this momentum and contribute to its broader success story.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Five Iron Golf to bring one of the world’s most dynamic and inclusive golf experiences to Saudi Arabia,” said Noah Alireza, CEO of Golf Saudi. “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to expanding participation, developing youth talent, and building year-round golf infrastructure. Together, we aim to create a vibrant, accessible golf ecosystem across the Kingdom in line with Vision 2030.”
