Five Iron Golf, an indoor golf entertainment venue, is looking to grow in Colorado, with an emphasis on Denver.
The company calls itself an “eatertainment destination,” offering a diverse range of amenities, including state-of-the-art golf and multisport simulators with Trackman technology and high-speed cameras, monthly memberships plans, food and beverage options, indoor golf leagues and event spaces for parties or corporate gatherings.
“Denver for us, you know, would be an ideal first entrance to the Mountain West,” said Five Iron Golf Vice President of Franchising Josh Frankel.

Five Iron Golf venues typically have a full-service sports bar, lounge areas and 4-15 simulators, according to venue floor plans listed on their website.
