We’ve got some good news for golfers — the Capital City’s golf scene is teeing off.

Expect several new venues and golf-related experiences to open in Austin this year, so if you’re ready for a good walk spoiled, check these out.

PopStroke Cedar Park | Opening mid-2026
The Austin area’s second location of this chain, which is famously owned in part by Tiger Woods, is set to be much bigger than the first, which opened in August.

Five Iron Golf | Opening late 2026
An indoor golf simulator franchise based in New York, Five Iron will open a 13,500-sqft spot, which will also feature a full kitchen and bar, Downtown.

The MacKenzie Club | Opening late 2026
For the golfer that views the sport as a lifestyle, this members-only club will be built around the social aspect as much as the game itself, while also featuring wellness, dining, and simulator suites.
