Developer Comstock Companies is taking another shot at bringing a golf-related attraction to Reston Station after its previous attempt fizzled<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Back Nine Golf<\/a>, a Utah-based company that offers indoor golf simulators, has signed a lease<\/a> for 4,500 square feet at 1860 Reston Row Plaza, Comstock announced yesterday.<\/p>\n

The venue will be located on the ground floor of BLVD Haley<\/a>, the 419-unit apartment building that began welcoming residents late last year and is on track to be completed by the end of June. It will be adjacent to the restaurant Ebbitt House<\/a>, an expansion<\/a> of D.C\u2019s Old Ebbitt Grill that should open \u201csoon,\u201d according to Comstock\u2019s most recent earnings report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comstock\u2019s announcement of the signing didn\u2019t mention when the Back Nine Golf is expected to open, but Chief Operating Officer Tim Steffan said the developer is \u201cexcited\u201d to expand the \u201cvibrant mix of experiential concepts\u201d coming to the emerging Row at Reston Station neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir arrival demonstrates the leasing momentum and flight-to-quality demand we\u2019re seeing across Reston Station, as the neighborhood continues to evolve into one of the Mid-Atlantic region\u2019s leading mixed-use destinations,\u201d Steffan said.<\/p>\n

Started in January 2021<\/a> with a single venue in St. George, Utah, the Back Nine Golf quickly grew through franchising and now boasts more than 300 locations across the U.S. and Canada that have either opened or are in the works. The company currently has five sites in Virginia, most recently opening in Leesburg<\/a> on May 7.<\/p>\n

Richmond and Norfolk locations are also on the way, per the Back Nine\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

More from the press release on what to expect from the Reston location<\/a>, which has already has waitlists for memberships and free demos:<\/p>\n

The Back Nine Golf is as a place for golf lovers to gather, play, and learn that provides 24\/7 access to golf regardless of the weather. Featuring Full Swing Pro 2.0 Simulators that are endorsed by Tiger Woods and are the official technology of the popular TGL indoor golf league, The Back Nine Golf at Reston Station will offer guests of all ages the opportunity to enjoy the game in a welcoming, community-oriented environment. The Back Nine Golf simulators provide the opportunity to experience everything from iconic courses like St. Andrews and Pebble Beach to fun mini-golf and putting games designed for beginners and casual players looking to have fun.<\/p>\n

According to the website, members get 24-hour access to the venue, unlimited tee times, guest spots and various discounts, including on Back Nine\u2019s store merchandise<\/a>, but a membership won\u2019t be required to book simulator time.<\/p>\n

In addition to giving patrons a place to practice their swing or just enjoy a casual game with friends, Back Nine will host private events, kids camps and tournaments where participants compete with other players for prizes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly excited to bring The Back Nine Golf to the Reston community and to be part of the energy and vision behind The Row at Reston Station,\u201d The Back Nine Golf owner Elaine Spencer said in the release. \u201cOur team is passionate about creating a welcoming, high-quality space where players of all skill levels can come together to play, compete, and enjoy the game year-round.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comstock had previously booked space<\/a> in one of the two new Reston Row office buildings for Puttshack, which would\u2019ve delivered a technology-driven indoor mini golf course. However, the concept got pushed out by the consultant Booz Allen Hamilton, which is relocating its headquarters<\/a> to the development, where it will occupy 310,000 square feet of office space.<\/p>\n

When confirming that Puttshack no longer had a space in Reston Row, Comstock said it was still having \u201cdiscussions\u201d with the business to potentially find an alternative location, but Back Nine\u2019s lease suggests those talks might not have made much headway.<\/p>\n

Back Nine and Ebbitt House will join an expanding assortment<\/a> of retail options at Reston Row, including Tous les Jours, Vida Fitness and Noku Sushi. Inova Health System\u2019s concierge medical service<\/a>\u00a0also now appears to be open<\/a> in Suite 120 of the 10-story office building at 1880 Reston Row Plaza.<\/p>\n
