Experienced St. Louis-based hospitality designer Lawrence Group has been selected to design a trio of Five Iron Golf venues in the St. Louis area.
The first venue will be located on the ground floor of Emerson Tower at 8027 Forsyth in the heart of Clayton, MO. Construction on the Clayton location is expected to begin in early October and be completed in the first quarter of 2025. Sites are currently being considered for the other two locations.
With 32 locations and counting across 13 states and 5 countries, including international franchise locations in Dubai and Australia, Five Iron Golf offers state-of-the-art golf simulators, locally crafted food and drink menus, table games like ping pong and shuffleboard, lounge and bar areas, and widescreen televisions for a dynamic, entertaining, and inclusive way to play golf or just socialize.
An avid golfer, Lawrence Group Interior Designer Lisa Morrison, NCIDQ, WELL AP, Fitwel Ambassador had a personal interest in wanting a Five Iron Golf franchise in St. Louis. She was thrilled to learn that Lawrence Group was selected to do the design work for this first location through the franchisee owners’ representative Cobalt Construction Consulting. Pinnacle Contracting is the general contractor on the project.
“I am super passionate about golf, so I am really excited to be involved in bringing Five Iron Golf to St Louis. Last year, our workplace team designed the building owner’s headquarters and spaces for other tenants upstairs in Emerson Tower where the first venue will be located, so we have a vested interest in seeing this development thrive,” said Morrison.
Lawrence Group worked closely with St. Louis Five Iron Golf Franchisee Carlton Blood to bring his vision to life.
“St. Louis is an absolute sports town and golf has a lot of history here. To bring a golf-forward and technology-focused event space here was very exciting! I truly believe that customers will enjoy our blend of local flare and the Five Iron brand as it really appeals to a wider audience beyond sports as well,” said Blood. “We have an excellent food and beverage program with some local bites, craft beers and cocktails that customers are certain to enjoy. The facility itself is purposefully designed for parties, corporate events, birthdays, community engagement, or just small gatherings. Overall, from our state-of-the-art simulators to the lounge and bar area, to the entertainment and television wall that we will provide, customers will feel immersed in a very fun, active, social and interactive experience; exactly what they will feel anytime they are in a Five Iron space.”
