    Nice facility and generally a fun experience, but overpriced for what you get. During my visit, the TrackMan in our bay was misaligned, which took a while to identify and caused inaccurate ball flight unless you aimed far left. Simulator calibration issues are frustrating, especially at this price point since they can make you second guess your swing. Overall, a decent place, but the quality didn’t match the cost.

    I had a blast here! I’m not usually much for golf to be honest with you but I had never used a golf simulator before let’s start from the beginning. If you take the 7 train to court square the place is literally right around the corner. You go in and you see ads with all sorts of deals and discounts on specific days. There are escalators which take you up to the main lobby or where everything sits. Just as you see the amazing scenery, a relaxing chill spot anyone is welcomed to come. The WiFi is free to use and pretty fast and good. The heat is on during the cold winter days and the AC is on during the hot summer days so props for temperature control. On the left side theee is a bar and a kitchen where you can order drinks and items and don’t sit out the wings they are to die for and with an amazing deal. $5 all you can eat boneless wings with a $3 purchase of all you can drink soda! I honestly could not have found a much better spot than this. In the middle you als have a long shuffleboard you can play in case you get bored of golf and they also showcase the league play and teams they have going around there various stores and franchised businesses. After all this is just one of many stores they have all around America and NYC specifically as well. I bought my reservation ticket online and for cheap too. 1 hour of play for 2 people about $30-$40. Tax was minimal as well since I paid with card which is something I usually look for when it comes to reviewing these services. You can enter your email to record and receive the shots you take in the simulator. The way it works is simple: They give you your own booth which houses a central computer, a projector and a screen to view, and a tracking camera that sits right behind you so they can time your accuracy, power of the shot and distance it goes as if you were in an actual golf field. There are several modes you can play none again AI unfortunately but you can play with or against people online as well as set records against the top golfers in the country. You have access to a whole plethora of golf clubs which just makes sense seeing as they are a golfing institution and by my count I’d say you have between 20 options of clubs to choose from give more or less to take. They all specialize in various aspects of golfing from putting to farther shots to accuracy buildup etc. I find it a whole lot more fun if you bring a group to play with so you guys can take turns seeing how your shots went and where it would on a real course. They can also bring the food and drinks to you depending on how long you have the booth for but it gets cheaper the more time you spend. Overall I really did like this place and it gave me a new found respect and admiration for the sport in general. Even the bathrooms were top notch as in they have showers for you to use, towels and various soaps, lotions, moisturizer and shampoos too use and best of all clean, nice smelling and totally hygienic.

    Unfortunately, my experience with 5 Iron Golf has been very disappointing. I booked two lessons, but the online booking system is broken and would not allow me to book available time slots. After finally managing to book a lesson over the phone, it was canceled less than an hour before the scheduled start time. While I understand the reason for the cancellation, the notification came very late. What made the situation worse was that when I tried to use the same time slot for individual practice, I was told it had already been given to someone else because I “didn’t respond in time.” This was especially frustrating because the cancellation email explicitly stated that I could still use the slot. I only received that email roughly 50 minutes before the original lesson start, yet the slot was reassigned before I could even arrive, despite being told in writing that it was available to me. Overall, the customer service and booking experience have been extremely frustrating, and it feels like customers are not valued. At this point, I regret choosing 5 Iron Golf and would not recommend it based on my experience so far. Maybe it was just bad luck several times but I had better experiences with other providers like mulligans.

    I’m new to golf but wanted to take a couple lessons to learn foundations and join friends on rounds - Hugh came highly recommended by a friend who took a couple lessons with him. He’s really changed my appreciation for golf and is a great teacher that is patient but pushes you to be better. It’s a great balance and makes the sport very fun and rewarding, can’t wait to get better! Besides my lessons, I really appreciate the family vibe the staff gives every time I’m there. I feel very taken cared of and am glad this is the location I decided to come to over the others. I hope to come by more often in the summertime as well!

    I planned a fun outing for my husband and his friends at Five Iron, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. I booked a bay and ordered food in advance since I could not attend, but things didn't go smoothly. Despite ordering ahead, the food arrived late, 1 hour before the end of their session, and they didn't even bring the correct order. When they asked about more bone-in wings (which were supposed to be unlimited), staff said they ran out, even though other tables were still being served bone-in wings with no such disclaimer. It felt like they were policing our order; my husband believes it was because we had to order wings per person. That wouldn't have been a problem if staff had just charged us for everything the group wanted - I told them to charge my card for whatever was needed. The customer service team was helpful in adjusting our bay booking when they removed one of the bays, but overall, communication was lacking. If you're planning ahead, be aware that food ordering and service might not be the smoothest. My husband and his friends enjoyed the games, but I'd say Top Golf might be a better experience. Service: 6/10 (helpful but inconsistent) Food: 5/10 (issues with ordering and availability) Overall: 7/10 (fun experience, but service needs work) I'd deduct more points for the poor communication and food service, but my husband had a great time, and that's what mattered most.
