Welcome to NYC, the Big Apple. Power house of a city. You'd be forgiven for thinking golf is out of reach for most New Yorkers, either because of the cost or because, well, it's a concrete jungle. But indoor golf in Manhattan has changed the game. There's enough space in the city for the virtual fairways, good for tuning up your game, unique date nights, or just socializing.
If you're curious which spot fits your kind of round - serious practice, a casual hang, or an after-work league - read on. Each venue below brings something different to the tee box.
Tune-up with coaching or focused practice
If your goal is lessons, structured practice, or a quiet hour to work on contact, options include Golf Lessons NYC, Konnectgolf, The Hack Shack, The Bridge Golf Learning Center, Golf v.2 – Tribeca, and LoftLinks – Upper East Side. Book a mid-day slot, start with a 7-iron, screenshot your dispersion, and repeat next week in the same bay to fix your slice.
After-work hang with food & drinks
Planning a team outing or a friends-night? Filter for Bar and Food. You’ll see multiple Five Iron Golf locations across Manhattan (FiDi, Flatiron, Herald Square, Midtown, Murray Hill, Upper East Side) with social-friendly amenities. You’ll also find iGolf by Space NYC, Full Swing Simulators at Chelsea Piers, and T-Squared Social. All easy choices when not everyone in the group is a swing nerd.
Join a league
If you want a standing weekly plan, scan the cards for League. Many Five Iron locations, plus studios like iGolf by Space NYC, LoftLinks, Golf v.2 – Tribeca, and The Hack Shack, have league options so you can pick the night and neighborhood that fit your commute.
Late-night or off-peak
Need flexibility? Ready Golf Club is listed as Open 24 hours, with convenient online reservations and free clubs to use. Great for shift workers, insomniac range sessions, or a last-minute tune-up before a weekend round!
Editor's Note: Finding space to swing in the 'Concrete Jungle' can be a headache, especially with Manhattan traffic. If you’re trying to squeeze in a round after work, I recommend looking at the cluster of simulators in the Flatiron and Midtown areas—they have the best 'social vibe' for groups. Pro Tip: If you're a serious data nerd looking for a quiet session, target the early morning slots (6 AM – 9 AM) at the smaller boutique studios; they are often empty and much cheaper. — Sham/Founder
