Following success at Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina, the golfing simulation experience arrives in the capital.
It’s time to swing into action. Five Iron Golf Abu Dhabi is coming to the capital. The entertainment venue is expected to open in early 2026 and will be located in Yas Bay Waterfront. It will be the second of six venues to open across the UAE.
Opened in September 2024, the Dubai Marina flagship has set the tone for a tech-forward, community-first concept that blends sport and nightlife. The Abu Dhabi location will be one of the largest in the global Five Iron network, spanning just under 24,000 square feet. Plans include 12 state-of-the-art Trackman simulators, Callaway Tour Club Fitting and equipment, chef-driven food, cocktails, craft selections and a terrace overlooking Yas Bay.
In Dubai, a new Business Bay venue will feature five Trackman simulators and a lively sports bar with augmented reality games, designed for corporate events, after-work play and weekend gatherings for the Business Bay and Downtown communities.
Matthew Csillag, Managing Partner of the UAE franchise group, commented: “We are excited about our openings at Yas Bay and Business Bay, two anchor locations that reflect the energy, diversity, and sophistication of the Emirates. These projects mark just the beginning of our ambitious regional and international expansion plans.”
Fellow franchise partner David Zabinsky added: “The UAE is fast evolving into the entertainment capital of the world, with a broad and sophisticated landscape of offerings, from sport, to leisure, to best-in-class dining, to gaming, and more. Five Iron sits at the intersection of these, offering something for everyone, golfer or not, and we could not be more ecstatic to grow our dynamic concept throughout the Emirates.”
Five Iron Golf Abu Dhabi is backed by North Castle Partners, Callaway Golf and Danny Meyer’s Enlightened Hospitality Investments, and operates more than 30 locations across 16 states and five countries.
