Five Iron Golf’s second Philadelphia location is a walk-in simulator lounge and sports bar at 27 E Allen St in Fishtown. It brings the formula that made the Rittenhouse room a Center City staple to the river wards: golf, food and a bar under one roof.
The bays run Trackman launch monitors paired with high-speed cameras, and each one fits up to six players. You can play full rounds at PGA Tour venues like Pebble Beach, grind through a practice session with full ball and club data, or load one of the games when the group is more social than serious. A real putting green with a mural backdrop sits off the main floor for working on the flat stick between rounds.
Booking runs through the venue’s reservation page, with hourly rates set by time slot. A membership costs $289 a month and includes 90 minutes of free golf daily, anytime walk-in privileges, and 20 percent off lessons, leagues, food and drinks, plus club storage and member nights. Rates and perks change, so confirm current pricing with the venue before you book.
Hours are long. Doors open at 6am every day, closing at 11pm Sunday through Thursday and 1am on Friday and Saturday nights. Early tee times before work are part of the draw.
The kitchen serves a full food menu, and the bar pours cocktails with drink packages available for groups. Lounge seating sits between the bays, so the people waiting on their turn have somewhere to land.
Lessons start with a swing evaluation before one-on-one or small-group coaching with the house pros. The location also holds a Callaway Tour Fitting studio, where certified coaches fit drivers, irons, wedges and putters using the same Trackman units in the bays. Leagues run through the year, and the events team handles birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties and corporate outings.
It suits after-work groups, beginners who want a low-pressure first swing, and serious players chasing winter reps. As of this writing it holds a 4.9 rating from 361 Google reviews.
Call (800) 513-5153 with questions, or reserve a bay ahead of time on the venue’s booking page. The door is at 27 E Allen St, Philadelphia, PA 19123.
