Golf Saudi Announces Strategic Partnership
with Five Iron Golf to Expand the Game Across the Kingdom
Golf Saudi has announced a strategic partnership with Five Iron Golf, a global leader in immersive golf experiences, to launch a series of advanced indoor golf venues across Saudi Arabia. This collaboration supports Golf Saudi’s mission to broaden community engagement and build a sustainable, inclusive golf ecosystem in alignment with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals for the sports sector.
The first Five Iron Golf venue is scheduled to open in Riyadh in Q1 2026. Located on the ground floor of the iconic PIF Tower in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD)—one of the region’s most advanced business hubs—it is set to become one of the world’s most prominent indoor golf destinations, adding a new dimension to Saudi Arabia’s evolving sports and entertainment landscape.
Spanning approximately 1,500 square meters the venue will combine Five Iron Golf’s signature mix of cutting-edge technology, vibrant hospitality, and immersive design at one of the Kingdom’s most prestigious addresses.
Founded in New York in 2017, Five Iron Golf has grown into a global brand with over 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, a global membership program, and full-service hospitality. Backed by strategic investors such as Callaway Golf and Enlightened Hospitality Investments (founded by renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer), Five Iron is rapidly expanding through both corporate development and franchising, with over 60 locations in the pipeline.
This partnership aligns with Golf Saudi’s vision to expand golf’s footprint across the Kingdom by introducing modern, accessible venues that appeal to all demographics—particularly youth and women. Together, 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.
Noah Alireza, CEO of Golf Saudi, stated:
“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.
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″.
Jared Solomon, Co-Founder and CEO of Five Iron Golf, said:
“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.
As the Kingdom builds a vibrant golf ecosystem and inspires a new generation of golfers, we’re proud to be part of this momentum and contribute to its broader success story”.
Golf Saudi and Five Iron Golf plan to expand this innovative model to additional cities in the future, further accelerating the Kingdom’s golf development and reinforcing its regional leadership in the sport.
