Strike Club Bowling, dining, and more family fun opened in the Van Aken District — just in time for Ryder Cup
Shaker Heights, OH – Five Iron Golf, the global leader in indoor golf and social entertainment, opened its newest location in Shaker Heights on September 25, just in time for Ryder Cup weekend. The 17,000-square-foot destination is the brand’s second in the Cleveland area and third in Ohio, and anchors a first-of-its-kind family entertainment center in the Van Aken District.
Located in the heart of the Van Aken District, a growing mixed-use neighborhood with dining, shopping, and residences, the Shaker Heights venue expands Five Iron’s Cleveland presence, joining the downtown Euclid Grand location that opened in 2023. The space blends performance, play, and social energy with Trackman-powered simulators and the Cleveland debut of Strike Club Bowling, a modern take on duckpin designed for all ages. Additional partners will be announced in 2026 to further expand the family-friendly lineup.
On the golf side, the new location features nine simulators with multi-angle cameras that allow players to analyze their swings, compare against the pros, and access more than 300 world-renowned courses. Guests can sharpen their games with Five Iron’s roster of golf coaches, upgrade their equipment through Callaway Tour club fittings, and join seasonal league play. Junior Clinics for ages 6–14 launch in October, giving kids the chance to learn the fundamentals in a welcoming, cutting-edge environment with a 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
Beyond golf, the two-level center includes a full-service restaurant and bar, multiple lounges, mezzanine seating, six lanes of Strike Club Bowling, Dartsee, and multisport simulator games like soccer, baseball, and hockey. The space is designed to host everything from private parties and mitzvahs to corporate happy hours, holiday celebrations, or nights out with friends.
“Opening in Shaker Heights means a lot to us,” said Jared Solomon, Co-Founder & CEO of Five Iron Golf. “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.”
Membership isn’t required to enjoy the venue, but Founding Members unlock unmatched value — including free daily golf, walk-in access, and exclusive discounts on lessons, leagues, fittings, food, and drinks. The first 150 Founding Members also receive a launch offer of $99 per month for the first 12 months, plus a $100 credit, complimentary swing evaluation, a Founding Member bag tag, and a signature hoodie. With the holiday party season ahead, memberships are in high demand and available only while spots remain.
