Five Iron Golf

Been doing my lessons with Hugh and he’s been awesome. I’m a beginner and just after 2 lessons, I’ve learned and improved a lot. He breaks down the complexity of the golf swing in a way that’s simple and straightforward. He goes through drills and concepts with me in a memorable way so I can easily practice on my own too. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable in the golf game, but also he makes learning golf really fun and engaging! Definitely will be continuing my lessons with Hugh!

Hugh Heo at 5 iron golf (Herald Square) is a fantastic Golf Pro and instructor and will keep me coming back for lessons to this location even though it’s farther for me than some of the other locations in the city. Hugh is not only super personable and fun to work with but also has a way of cutting through the fat of the analysis and really targeting high value things to work on together. Hugh is great at analyzing my swing and using the track man technology to show me what he’s saying visually. Hugh has made huge improvements to my swing and approach to the game after just two lessons. I’m always looking forward to my next lesson and meeting with Hugh to work on my game! The facilities 5 iron and rest of the staff are great too, this is an absolutely great location.

This location is fantastic. I first visited in August and saw that the facilities are great; the simulators, changing rooms, bar area etc. are in top condition. The staff are always really helpful and friendly - Shelby goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. It didn't take long before I signed up for a membership. I've also taken lessons with Jacinth Thomas and he's excellent. I've been playing golf for about 25 years and he's been able to improve my game more than anyone else I've worked with. I'd highly recommend coming here!

If you are looking to take lessons, whether you are a beginner or someone who is looking to just fine tune their skills, I highly recommend working with Jacinth. Through his expertise, he quickly recognizes the areas where you can improve and is able to help you master those areas through his clear and concise instructions and exercises. Overall, he is an immense pleasure to work with.

I took my first proper golf lesson at 5i with Hugh, and he is an outstanding instructor. His deep knowledge of golf mechanics, patient approach, and attention to detail are all fantastic. He focuses on deconstructing bad habits and problem areas, then rebuilding proper swing fundamentals. Hugh’s tailored feedback, honest engagement, and ability to explain or draw out complex concepts make him an incredible coach. Highly recommend — thanks Hugh!

I’ve had the pleasure of taking three lessons with Hugh, and I’ve already seen remarkable improvement in my technique, consistency, and distance. Hugh has a great way of breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, making each lesson both informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend Hugh to anyone looking to improve their game!

Absolutely incredible lesson with Jacinth! He is unbelievably knowledgeable, patience, and an amazing teacher. He really takes the time to understand you and your game and tailors the lesson to you. I would recommend for anyone getting starting golfing or looking to improve their game. I added the before and after stats from just our first lesson

I recently started taking lessons with Hugh, and so far, it has been a great experience. He's excellent at breaking down complex concepts and simplifying them, making them easy to apply. I've already seen noticeable improvement. Highly recommend!

I'm a complete amateur when it comes to golfing, so it's great to play on a simulator without having to fish a ball out of the pond or accidentally hitting someone in the head. The location is excellent! Right near K-town, so you can come here before/after getting a boba or kimchi and slam some balls. There's a wide selection of clubs for both men and women, which are color coded. The options on the simulator are kind of overwhelming, so definitely pay attention when the staff does a demo. We did some candy crush style mini-game, but you can also just practice driving down range, or play a fake course. They even have a little TV that records your last swing so you can analyze your posture. Besides golf, they have a bar, and a arcade style basketball hoop which is free.

The $5 bottomless wings are such an insanely good deal that I almost want to gatekeep this. Offered at the bar on football Sundays, the $5 bottomless wings come in 6 different flavors - garlic parm, bbq, korean, buffalo, carolina reaper, mango habanero. The wings are also served with celery, carrots, and ranch. Service has been fantastic - I wish I got the name of our server! Great place to cach a game and practice some golf.

Hosted my employee group here & we had a blast! The service & food was good. Very cute inside. The simulators were fun though very different than top golf experience. It's very popular for work groups & it'd be cute for a date as well. Shoutout to the sales team at Five Iron for making my first experience working with them a seamless one. Go, enjoy!!

I literally just flew into New York four hours ago and of course had to stop by Five Iron with my boyfriend. We came for the late night special - from 9PM to close on Friday and Saturday nights, simulator rentals are only $1 as long as you bring a friend and order 2 drinks. We also decided to get dinner here - Korean bbq boneless wings, bang bang shrimp tacos, the fried chicken sandwich, and the Transfusion cocktail: The highlight of the meal was definitely the bang bang shrimp tacos - wow, incredible. Not gonna lie, I've had them before and if I ever get food here they're a must order. The tacos are packed with flavor, sweet with a little bang. The order comes with 3 tacos and a side of tortilla chips with salsa. The Korean bbq wings were also really yummy. They were sweet with a little kick and came with some celery and carrot sticks and ranch. The fried chicken sandwich was also yummy though I was expecting a bit more flavor. I ended up dipping it in the sauce from the Korean bbq wings haha. Also, it usually comes with fries but we subbed it for a salad. The transfusion drink was super delicious! But maybe because the vodka content wasn't that strong lol, I couldn't really taste it but I'm also not sure if I'm feeling either lmao. Food aside, golf was super fun! The staff are also super friendly and attentive. The bathroom is also packed with free toiletries, from tampons to disposable razors and spray on deodorant, which is so kind of them. I see why my boyfriend loves this spot.

The staffing is amazing! I've played at other 5-iron locations but I've made the UES location my go to bc Brendan is my go to guy. He and his staff make sure we have everything we need before we even knew we needed it. Even if you live near other locations, I'm closer to Herald Square, go to UES at 86th. They're the best up there.

Great experience with service that's not found much today. Shelby was fantastic in arranging our sim and getting drinks. Made sure we were satisfied the entire time. Next time in in NYC, I'll come back.

Here for the Saturday night special. Place is large and comfortable though a little confusing at first. Fairly quiet but no issues with service as we were usually able to flag someone down if they didn't check in with us first. A few cocktails, pitchers and food. The mixed drinks are fine but seemed a bit weak. The food was surprisingly decent but expensive. Also a little strange to have finger food as I would worry about keeping my hands clean. That said, the shrimp tacos were decent. I'm not really qualified to talk about the golf part, but everything seems to work. Good fun. Basically a good reliable choice to fill a night out if you book ahead of time. It's actually perfect in my view because you get drinks, sports on tv, some physical activity in a relaxed space where you can actually sit down and have a conversation. Looking forward to more visits here. Definitely prefer this location to the Flatiron location too.

Fun! Came on off-peak with a friend who has a 1 month membership through work. Staff is super low key, friendly and helpful. May try to come back soon, a little pricey but if you bring more ppl it is not a bad deal. Food and drink options were good.

We did an office social event at Five Iron Golf and everyone had a great time. The service was outstanding and the food was very good for an entertainment venue. Heather, in charge of corporate events, took very good care of us. I would recommend 1 simulator per 4-5 attendees. It is a place we will return to for another team outing.

Was awesome that they had a $1 promo during the summer months for last 2 hours every weekend. In addition, the facility is clean and has some fun amenities. However, that's where the positives end for me. Recently I was improperly charged for an hour when I didn't even call to make a reservation or show up to play at a booth. I just received a random email with a charge on my credit card and this is completely unacceptable. As a consumer, there are major privacy concerns that I have with this that are more than just poor service. Because of how this situation transpired, I would not be a customer again and I highly encourage you to proceed with caution should you visit five iron. They have a cool space but these concerns with them storing my card information without telling me is very frustrating and potentially illegal but I'm not bothering to dig further with that. Their response was that I agreed to that but I can say that I was never informed about storing credit card information as I always decline merchants keep this whenever I transact.

Five irons newest facility is bright and lively with roomy simulators for large groups and bee food offerings that are fresh and delicious

Fun, Video golf where you can hang out with your friends and family on the couch and play Golf with real balls and clubs indoors. The video screens are large and you can watch a replay of yourself after each swing. There are alcoholic beverages to drink. No pool tables! Apparently, they had to sell that portion of the business during the pandemic and no longer offer pool tables.

How many times did I swing and miss? At least 20. On a scale of 1-5 how much fun did I have? A for-sure 5. I've never been golfing before, nor have I even swung a club. It felt like a video game with real golf clubs - a very pleasant experience. Convenient location, great weekend activity. Something fun to do in this socially distant time at a gorgeous place hidden in the middle of the city. While I'm no professional, I think they offer a pretty cool service - nice for private events or a date. There's a full bar and food made ready to order. No need to bring your own clubs, they have plenty - both male & female, lefty and righty. Separations between each section (giving you some privacy) are perfect for beginners who don't want everyone to see their (lack of) skills. The simulation software offers you challenges for friendly competition or just a chance to see how long you can drive. Definitely something you can get hooked on... I'm going again, soon!

Five Iron in Herald Square is a fine establishment built during the pandemic, where you'll have a tee-rrific time. I can absolutely see this place thriving in a post-pandemic world, whereby corporate events are held here that is in a central location, providing upper-scale in-door golfing experience. It can be a good spot for developing your game, and bringing friends also. The place itself has a ton of real estate, offering 14 Trackman bays, 2 putting greens, a gym (separate $ charge), bar/kitchen and some lounge activities (pool, ping pong, some hoops). It's very well laid out and easy to 'physical distance' in this COVID world. The staff are attentive, helpful and have a great balance of leaving you alone/making sure everything is OK. The mask policy and COVID protocols are all intact so you feel very safe being here; the patrons and staff take it seriously, which is great (I don't ever see someone without their mask on). You can rent a bay and even borrow clubs (they are very nice clubs: Mizuno hot rods irons, Mavrik woods/hybrids/drivers, PING/Cobra drivers, Betti wedges, etc.) They also have putting mats with putters galore, and you can try them all out, spend as much time as you'd like putting. I got a lesson here once from James Cunha, and he was a great instructor, very informative, professional and tailors to each golfers development areas. Hope to get another lesson soon. It's a bit expensive but it's in a central location of Manhattan, and given the a"FORE"mentioned details and the experience they provide, it may be worth your time (and dime). I've been here several times already, and plan to be back many times in the future.

We had a really good time here. Unfortunately the sensor wasn't set up correctly so everything was going way left. The manager effectively comped our whole session which was really very generous. We had the Buffalo chicken pizza and guacamole which were very good. The price point is pretty good considering it's only $15 more per hour than Chelsea piers which is worth it in this heat. We're planning on going back soon.

I've been here a few times over the years to hit around on their simulators, which is a ton of fun. But the reason I'm leaving this review is because I just had my first lesson with Jacinth, and will absolutely be coming back for more. He was a tremendous instructor who opened my eyes to a few elements of my golf game that I'd been overlooking, and I'm looking forward to developing further as a player with his guidance.

I hosted a Sweet Sixteen Social corporate event for clients to coincide with the Sweet Sixteen on Thursday, March 24th. We had 25 people in the fitting lab location (back-to-back simulators) and the putting green off to the side. It was perfect. NCAA on the TVs, we had one simulator with closest to the pin competition and the other with a foursome playing 3 holes and others were putting and/or enjoying great food and drinks. It was perfection. The event lasted 3 hours, and we were having such a good time, we rotated down to the bar on the 1st floor to continue fun. The staff is very attentive (no one ever had an empty glass and food was promoted replenished when we devoured it) and golf pros there are outstanding, super knowledgeable and helpful - not trying to do too much, just make the experience more enjoyable.

Place just opened and is awesome!! There's a ton of bays and would be good for events. Bar and food not open yet but awesome bays. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We had a great time and will for sure be back a lot. Technology seems legit.

great experience with even better service! the team was tremendous, food was delicious & the ambiance was perfect for the occassion. will definitely be back!

Was looking for a spot to work on my game during the week in the city and what a place! The membership options is an unreal deal in NYC! They also make an awesome spot to come to any night during the week/end with a great menu, comfy simulators, and an awesome selection of drinks! Staff is super dialed in and gives a great experience regardless of golf experience level!

This is the place where I started to learn how to golf! The sims are top of the league (Trackman), staff members are super friendly and the place has good food and beer selection. I took lessons from Susan Choi and I couldn't ask for a better teacher! As I was moving out of the country, I only had limited time to practice so I emailed her directly as she was FULLY BOOKED already. She carved out her time to teach me from the scratch and I can easily tell that she has a lot of experiences as she taught me a number of drills. On our last session, she wrote (hand writing) me all the ideal postures / different ball positions so that I can remember after I leave the country. Definitely ask for Susan if you are looking for a lesson!

What a great time! Big golfer, but tied to the city on the weekdays so this place will serve as my oasis when I cant get out to the course. Sims are great, accurate and the course selection is awesome. Service was fantastic - Graham took care of us at the bay and couldn't have been more helpful and on top of it. All in all a really great experience. We'll be back!

I started taking lessons with Coach Jacinth and have improved alot already. Definitely recommend!

Five Iron Golf is awesome, and their newest spot is truly impressive. It is a huge space and beautifully done. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and everyone is taking lots of covid precautions. The instruction is also top notch, I have taken lots of great lessons with the golf pros here. I can't recommend this place enough! I can't wait til they're allowed to start serving food and beverages again.

My friends and I came for a session this past weekend and the experience was nothing but great times. Making a reservation online was easy, and no issues at all once we got there. Great location, place is absolutely massive and well organized. The standout feature of Five Iron Golf is their staff. Everyone who works at Five Iron Golf is polite and goes above and beyond to assist with whatever you need. Cannot wait to come back.

Five iron is a must for any casual or serious golfer in NYC who doesn't want to spend hours on a subway. Lauren and the rest of the staff is super friendly. Overall great vibes and a cool place

I have been receiving the greatest lessons from James at 5 Iron Golf. I have gone to other golf pro's in the past for lessons but it wasn't until I came to 5 Iron golf that I started to how the corrections to my posture and club positioning are paying off. James is easy going and makes it a comfortable environment to enjoy the learning process on how to create the perfect swing.

Everyone at this Five Iron is amazing from start to finish. Bryan was great getting me signed up as a member and helpful every step of the way. Then when the head on my driver snapped, Bryan connected me with the Fitting Lab and the team there lead by Chris helped me find a shaft replacement, then got it repaired and reshafted in no time. Couldn't recommend this place more.

Herald Square location is spacious and beautiful. Brian, Alex and the whole crew are warm and welcoming. My daughter takes lessons with Lois and she's amazing - she's patient, knowledgeable and shares an overall love of the game.

Great staff very fast alotta new teens working great experience food is fantastic just needs a upgrade some French fries some more soft drink selections for younger groups simulator is top of the line u can't get any newer an better then there technology here a little bit pricy but if u go with groups u can spilt the bill 60$ a hour seems like 20 minutes when ur playing a round if ur just practicing the 60$ rate is fantastic for new comers they hand out a free 25min simulator card so u can come back.. which you will if u love golf they also have an amazing putting green that reads ur putts plus they have ping pong tables fuzzball table an even a open bar to watch the games for a guys night out or even a date night u cannot go wrong at five iron golf this is why i rate it 5stars

This place is THE BEST! The staff is incredible and makes everyone feel welcomed. We are absolutely terrible golfers and never once did we feel out of place or judged. I cannot say enough about this space and cannot wait to go back! Molly, Bailey, Kiara, Bryan and Alex- you guys are rockstars!
