#108 - Five Iron Golf: Jared Solomon (Co-Founder and CEO)

Send a textJared Solomon and his partners started with a vision, to make golf for everyone by delivering a dynamic, entertaining, and inclusive way to experience golf. Five Iron has quickly re-shaped urban golf culture by putting a modern spin on an old classic. They began their story in 2017 from humble beginnings with one location on Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District, the origin of our name (created by taking the “Five” from Fifth Avenue and the “Iron” from the Flatiron District.)Fast forward to the present day, Five Iron Golf has expanded nationwide across ten major U.S. cities and over 20 locations and counting, with international franchise locations in Singapore and India.Helping the masses to get their swing on, the 5i way is about access to play, practice, and party, inclusivity to bring out the golfer in everyone, and unforgettable experiences.For the serious golfer, Five Iron hosts high-tech Trackman simulators, access to teaching professionals, practice time, leagues, club storage, showers, top-of-the-line clubs free to use during your booking, and in-house club fitting services.For the less-than-serious golfer (and let’s be honest, most of the severe golfers too), Five Iron offers flexible event spaces, a full-service bar, locally-crafted food menus, table games like ping pong and shuffleboard, and widescreen TVs perfect for watching your favorite game.Support the show
