Five Iron Golf, an indoor golf and entertainment company backed by Greenwich-based private equity firm North Castle Partners, plans to open its first Connecticut location this summer in South Norwalk.
The 8,500-square-foot venue will open in the SoNo 50 building at 50 Washington St. and include 10 Trackman golf simulators, two bars and kitchens and event space, according to the company. It is expected to create about 40 jobs.
The Norwalk site, which is targeted for an August opening, will be owned and operated by franchisees John Cornelius, Jeff Kelly, Jacob Dowden, George Jamgochian and Bruce MacKenzie.
Five Iron Golf has launched a founding membership program for the first 100 members at the Norwalk location. Memberships start at $175 per month with a 12-month commitment.
Founded in 2017, Five Iron Golf operates more than 40 locations globally. According to its website, North Castle Partners invested in Five Iron in 2020.
