New golf simulator and bar opens in Pa. - PennLive

You won’t find grassy links in Center City Philadelphia to pursue your golf game -- but you don’t need it. At least, not now that Five Iron Philadelphia has opened.

The golf simulator complex opened on Feb. 1 at 2116 Chestnut St. in the City of Brotherly Love. Boasting nearly 6,000 square feet, it has 8 full swing simulators, lesson studio, showers, full bar with food menu and event space. Five Iron offers customers access to golf coaches and allows you to rent top-of-the-line clubs. It also has leagues too so you can embrace your competitive side.

Simulator rentals will set you back $22.50 per half hour during off-peak times and $32.50 per half hour (or $60 per hour) at peak rental times. Off-peak horus are Monday through Fridays from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 8 p.m. to close. Peak hours are all day Saturday, Sunday from to 8 p.m. and then from 4 p.m. to close Monday-Friday.

Five Iron got its start in New York City, so setting up shop in the midst of a busy city isn’t anything new for the business, which also has locations in Chicago and Baltimore. You can learn more about Five Iron Golf at fiveirongolf.com/philly.

Golf simulators have slowly been making their way to Pennsylvania, with TopGolf set to open up its second full size facility later this year in northeast Philadelphia -- currently the only full size TopGolf is near Pittsburgh. There are multiple smaller TopGolf Swing Suites throughout the state and, in south central Pa., there’s also Harrisburg Golf Simulator.
