The announcement was celebrated on Nov. 17 as Invited’s Metropolitan Club members and Five Iron Golf members were given a sneak preview of the updated facility. At the opening, members from each side learned that the two entities would provide reciprocal four-month memberships. Five Iron Golf members will enjoy access to The Metropolitan, and Invited’s stadium, city and golf members will enjoy membership privileges at Five Iron Golf facilities. Invitees competed in long-drive and closest-to-the-pin contests while enjoying inventive cuisine and handcrafted cocktails served up with sweeping city views.
“Our new partnership with Invited aligns perfectly with Five Iron Golf’s desire to provide unique experiences that enrich communities while also spreading a love of golf,” remarked Five Iron Golf CEO and Co-Founder Jared Solomon. “We look forward to bringing the Invited membership a new way to connect and create memorable moments through our inclusive, urban golf experience.”
Invited’s leader concurred with Solomon’s thoughts.
“At Invited, our goal is to seek out and test new ways to build relationships and enrich lives. Five Iron Golf has quickly become the leader in indoor golf entertainment and is bringing a new audience to the sport,” said Invited CEO David Pillsbury. “This is a perfect connection between Five Iron Golf’s ability to provide all levels of golfer with an alternative entertainment experience with the ability of our city, stadium and golf clubs to provide extraordinary experiences, meaningful connections, shared passions, and memorable moments.”
The Metropolitan has anchored the West Loop business district since its founding in 1974. Arthur M. Wood of Sears Holdings championed the Metropolitan Club as the crown jewel of his Sears Tower when the building was envisioned. As Chicago and its businesses have evolved and flourished, so has the vibrant membership of the club.
As the two companies review the popularity and success of this initial partnership, the goal will be to include Five Iron Golf activations within other Invited Clubs throughout its portfolio while showcasing Five Iron Golf’s ability to provide value to beginners, experienced golfers and entertainment seekers alike. Five Iron Golf has quickly re-shaped urban golf culture and has expanded from Manhattan to Chicago, Las Vegas, Philadelphia and other cities nationwide.
