Miami's Brickell is welcoming a cutting-edge fusion of sports, tech, and hospitality. The Tips Golf, founded by former Wall Street exec Alejandro Piekarewicz and creative director wife Elise, combines elite indoor golf simulators with lounge-level dining, drinks, and instruction by ex-pro Landon Michelson. 

Tech‑Driven Design & Atmosphere

• Spanning 3,600 sq ft across two levels, the space blends warm wood, caramel leather, and sleek marble, alongside floor‑to‑ceiling city views.

• Five Trackman iO bays—industry-leading simulators trusted by pros—support both practice and play.

• Architected by Stalemate Creative, the studio feels luxe yet cozy, balancing high-tech performance with laid‑back hospitality.

Instruction & Event Hosting

• Landon Michelson, a Miami native and former pro, leads the instructional program—melding swing mechanics, mental game, and data analytics.

• Simulator bays also double as unique venues for corporate outings, birthdays, and client entertainment, with customizable packages ideal for Brickell‑based professionals.

Food, Drinks & Hospitality

• Full bar crafted by a certified sommelier offers signature cocktails (e.g., “Caribbean Transfusion”), premium wines, and craft beers.

• The menu takes clubhouse classics up a notch: steak tacos with chimichurri, BBQ chicken flatbreads, shrimp cocktail, and a playful “bucket of balls” of sugar-coated donuts.

• According to founder Alejandro, “technology enhances but doesn’t replace the authentic golf experience”—and the food and hospitality echo that philosophy.

Memberships & Pricing

• Standard membership starts at $145/month, including off-peak simulator time, booking priority, partner discounts, and F&B perks.

• Premium tier at $295/month adds peak‑hour access, bag storage, unlimited play, and deeper savings.

• Bay rental: $65/hour off‑peak, $90/hour peak; clubs available onsite.

CRE Investor Perspective

• Tech + hospitality hybrids are shaping up as standout retail leisure assets, especially in urban centers.

• Situated in Brickell's dense financial core, The Tips taps into a high‑earning demographic craving indoor, climate‑controlled recreation.

• On‑site memberships and hourly rates offer diverse revenue streams, while F&B margins and event bookings add upside.

The Tips Golf arrives at the perfect moment—seamlessly merging cutting-edge simulation technology with the ambiance of an upscale clubhouse and a dynamic, multi-stream revenue model. For commercial real estate investors and landlords, it points to a rising trend: high-end experiential venues that fuse sport, socializing, and lifestyle under one sophisticated roof. As demand for immersive, activity-driven concepts grows, this model is poised to inspire a new wave of hospitality-sport hybrids across mixed-use urban developments.
