Golf Saudi and Five Iron Golf announced a strategic partnership to bring advanced indoor golf venues across Saudi Arabia.

The first Five Iron Golf venue is scheduled to open in Riyadh in the first quarter of 2026. Located on the ground floor of PIF Tower, it will add another attraction to Saudi Arabia’s evolving sports and entertainment landscape.

Covering more than 16,000 square feet, the venue will combine Five Iron Golf’s signature mix of cutting-edge technology, hospitality and immersive design at one of Saudi Arabia’s more prestigious addresses.

Founded in New York in 2017, Five Iron Golf has grown into a global brand with more than 36 locations across 16 U.S. states and five countries — including Dubai, India, Singapore and Australia. The company offers tour-level simulators, professional instruction, Callaway club fittings and a global membership program. Backed by strategic investors such as Callaway Golf and Enlightened Hospitality Investments, Five Iron is expanding through both corporate development and franchising, with more than 60 locations in the pipeline.

In Saudi Arabia, Golf Saudi and Five Iron aim to deliver a comprehensive, world-class model that blends technology, hospitality, and education to welcome players of all skill levels.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Five Iron Golf to bring one of the world’s most dynamic and inclusive golf experiences to Saudi Arabia,” Golf Saudi CEO Noah Alireza said. “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to expanding participation, developing youth talent, and building year-round golf infrastructure. Together, we aim to create a vibrant, accessible golf ecosystem across the Kingdom in line with Vision 2030.”

Five Iron Golf co-founder and CEO Jared Solomon added that, “We believe Five Iron is more than just a place to hit balls — it’s a cultural experience that has helped shape the modern face of golf. We're excited to bring our brand, energy, and commitment to inclusivity to Saudi Arabia.”

Golf Saudi and Five Iron Golf plan to expand this innovative model to additional cities in the future, further accelerating Saudi Arabia’s golf development.
