Five Iron Golf Opens Second Location in Greater Seattle Area

KIRKLAND, Wash. – Five Iron Golf, the nation’s leading indoor golf and entertainment venue has announced the upcoming official opening of its second location in the Seattle market. Arriving mid-September to Kirkland, the vibrant town within the Emerald City’s Eastside suburban area, the location will feature Five Iron Golf’s leading-edge Trackman golf simulators, utilizing multi-angle camera systems to give guests access to top-of-the-line tour-level tech. It joins Five Iron Golf’s first location in the area, which opened three years ago, and has successfully built a strong membership foundation in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Golfers of all levels—from beginners to experts—can enjoy an entertaining and inclusive environment, where golf blends with several other immersive entertainment experiences for guests. For example, Detroit Duckpin Bowling lanes will provide a fun alternative activity with a unique twist on traditional bowling by using smaller pins and balls, making it accessible for all ages. This feature will offer a refreshing and exciting alternative to traditional bowling, catering to a broad range of skill levels. This variation of bowling features smaller pins and lighter balls, which are easier to handle, especially for children and beginners. Whether guests are looking to enjoy a casual game with friends or introduce younger family members to bowling, duckpin bowling provides a lively, inclusive experience that adds a unique twist to the venue's entertainment offerings.

Additionally, guests will find elevated comfort in the lounge area’s stylish environment and its outdoor patio alongside the full bar, which aims to create an atmospheric destination for fun and relaxation. The venue will also offer the brand’s enhanced new food and beverage menu, featuring an array of delicious options designed to complement the Five Iron Golf experience.

"The excitement in Kirkland has been building for some time for this Five Iron Golf and Detroit Duckpin Bowling to open, especially after the buzz that our Capitol Hill location has created,” said Mike Julian, West Coast Regional Manager of Five Iron Golf. "Our goal is to create a welcoming space where members, local companies and organizations, and everyone in the community can come together, not just to golf, but to enjoy great food, drinks and experience our fun atmosphere. We're confident our concept will be a welcomed addition to the Kirkland community as we officially open our one-of-a-kind experience." 

Membership options for Five Iron Golf are available but not required to reserve a simulator, play in golf leagues, host an event, or book a lesson. The site will be integrated into the brand’s indoor golf league, the largest in the country. The location will offer coach-led golf instruction, as well as membership options for players seeking to work on their game with extended hours.
