Five Iron Golf, a leader in the indoor golf arena, has opened its second Northeast Ohio location. The first opened downtown in 2023. The second has just opened its doors in Shaker Heights, specifically the former home of 1899 Golf and Social Club at the Van Aken District.

Billed as a “first-of-its-kind family entertainment center,” the Shaker Heights venue (20040 Van Aken Blvd.) combines the Five Iron Golf concept with Strike Club Bowling, described as a modern, family-friendly twist on duckpin bowling.

This new location features nine Trackman-powered golf simulators with multi-angle cameras that let players access more than 300 top courses around the globe. In addition to the golf sims, the two-level complex includes a full-service restaurant and bar, lounges, six lanes of duckpin bowling and multisport simulator games like soccer, baseball, and hockey.

“Opening in Shaker Heights means a lot to us,” Jared Solomon, Co-Founder & CEO of Five Iron Golf, said in a release. “Our downtown Cleveland location has already shown us how much this community embraces what we’re building, and Shaker Heights gives us a chance to take it even further. We’ve designed this to be a place for everything — from working on your golf game to bowling with friends, celebrating with family, hosting corporate happy hours, or just finding new ways to play together. It’s a space to perform, to party, and to connect, and we can’t wait to welcome people of all ages through the doors.”
