The new location will combine golf, bowling, dining and nightlife under one very large roof.<\/p>\n<p>Set to debut this spring at The Plaza Coral Gables, the venue spans roughly 30,000 square feet, making it Five Iron\u2019s largest U.S. location to date. Inside, there will be 12 high-tech golf simulators powered by Trackman (the same kind used by pros), along with 12 full-length bowling lanes, part of a concept called <a href=\"https:\/\/strikeclubbowling.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Strike Club Bowling<\/a> that\u2019s being folded into the experience.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is to make a space where serious golfers and total beginners can coexist without stepping on each other\u2019s toes. On one side, there\u2019s tour-level instruction offered in partnership with the Jim McLean Golf School, complete with swing analysis, club fitting and lessons. On the other, there\u2019s a much more social setup, centered around leagues, casual play, group bookings and plenty of opportunities to just show up and mess around.<\/p>\n<p>The real pitch here is that you don\u2019t even have to care about golf at all. The Coral Gables location will also function as a full-scale entertainment venue, with a chef-driven food and beverage program, multiple bars and spaces that work for both daytime hangs and late-night. (Think a happy hour that turns into a competition, then into a party.)<\/p>\n<p>That hybrid approach of sports-meets-hospitality-meets-nightlife is exactly what\u2019s fueling the brand\u2019s rapid expansion. Since it launched in 2017, Five Iron now has dozens of locations and it\u2019s leaning hard into markets like South Florida as demand for \u201coff-course\u201d golf experiences continues to surge. (Additional locations are planned for Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale.)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all a sign that golf is increasingly becoming less about hushed fairways and more about social, all-weather fun. And in Miami, that might be the most natural fit of all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If your idea of a night out involves equal parts swings and strikes, Miami\u2019s about to deliver.
