Five Iron Golf is expanding its footprint, announcing plans to open a new location in downtown Austin, Texas, in January 2026. The 13,500-square-foot venue, located at 501 Congress Avenue, will mark the brand’s entry into the Austin market.
A Combined Experience
The Austin location is designed to offer a “premium, club-like experience” integrated with a fitness facility and locker rooms. This setup aims to provide a convenient space for training, practice, and recovery. Garage parking is available next door for easy access.
The venue will feature 12 Trackman simulators, coach-led instruction, and Callaway Tour club fitting services. Beyond golf, the space will include a full-service bar and restaurant, duckpin bowling, leisure games, and event spaces suitable for happy hours, leagues, and corporate events.
Strategic Expansion
According to Jared Solomon, Co-Founder and CEO of Five Iron Golf, Austin’s “fast-growing professional community and strong demand for social, experience-driven venues” made it a natural choice for expansion. Valon Hidra, Head of U.S. Asset Management for AFIAA, noted that Five Iron Golf’s concept “aligns perfectly with the energy and evolution of downtown Austin.”
This Austin announcement follows recent openings in Nashville and plans for a Miami location in early 2026, as well as expansion into the Dallas–Fort Worth market in 2026. Five Iron Golf is backed by North Castle Partners, Callaway Golf, and Danny Meyer’s Enlightened Hospitality Investments.
