Five Iron Golf, the indoor golf and entertainment brand, reported plans to open a new flagship location in 2026 in the Flatiron district in New York City and a family entertainment center in Shaker Heights, OH, in late 2025.
The Flat Iron site, located a few blocks from where Five Iron originally began at 19th and 5th Avenue, is at 611 6th Avenue. The venue will have 50 percent more space and expand from 10 to 13 Trackman simulators, with enhanced locker rooms, lounge areas, bar, and dining.
“It’s bittersweet to move from our first location — and our namesake,” said Jared Solomon, co-founder and CEO of Five Iron Golf. “The ‘Five’ in Five Iron was a nod to 5th Avenue, and no, we’re not changing our name to Six Iron. But this brand-new, much larger space is exactly what this part of Manhattan deserves. We chose Flatiron for our first-ever location for a reason — and we still believe it’s the perfect neighborhood for a flagship.”
Five Iron in Shaker Heights, OH, at 20040 Van Aken Blvd., resides in the heart of the busy Van Aken District. The center will combine Five Iron’s golf simulators with an 18-hole indoor/outdoor miniature golf course and the latest version of Detroit Duckpin, a bowling experience offered by Five Iron Golf, first launched in its downtown Detroit location.
Serving Shaker Heights and surrounding suburbs (Pepper Pike, Moreland Hills, and Beachwood), the new space complements Five Iron’s existing downtown Cleveland venue.
“We’re incredibly excited about Shaker Heights,” said Nora Dunnan, co-founder and chief development officer. “This location brings together some of our favorite concepts under one roof and will serve as a true hub for golf and entertainment in the suburbs. We’ve loved becoming part of the Cleveland community, and with two unique but complementary locations, we’re just getting started.”
