A New Kind Of Watering Hole: Five Iron Golf Swings Into Westchester

PORT CHESTER, NY — The weather will soon be less of a concern for those looking to hit the links and enjoy libations at the 19th hole.

Five Iron Golf, an indoor golf and entertainment company, just announced the signing of a lease for a new franchise at 179 N. Main St. in Port Chester. The company says the new location, led by John Cornelius, Jake Dowden, Jeff Kelly, and George Jamgochian, will have "state-of-the-art simulators, premier golf instruction, and an engaging social atmosphere at this dynamic sports bar and event venue."

The 7,655-square-foot facility will feature 10 TrackMan simulators, and will be located in the Tarry Lighthouse development. The company says that the new location, in between Rye and Greenwich, will be a great opportunity to introduce the Five Iron Golf experience to a thriving golfing community.

"We are thrilled to partner with Five Iron Golf to create a premier destination for golf enthusiasts and sports fans in Port Chester," said John Cornelius, Operating Partner of the franchise group. "Our mission is to build off the success of the Five Iron brand and establish a welcoming environment where individuals can enjoy golf, connect with others, and experience top-notch hospitality. We also anticipate working closely with organizations like the First Tee to support local mission-driven initiatives and promote the enjoyment of golf for all skill levels and ages."

Five Iron Golf Port Chester, which will open in late 2024 or early 2025, will offer a range of amenities, including free on-site valet parking.

"This represents a fantastic opportunity to broaden our footprint and offer a unique golf experience to the local community," Jared Solomon, Five Iron CEO and Co-Founder, said. "We look forward to partnering with our franchisees to positively impact the area's golf and entertainment culture, and economy."
