Whether you’re a weekend golfer, a recreational rookie or a seasoned regular at Miami Beach Golf Club, the latest addition to bustling Brickell will inspire you to chip and putt your heart out—or maybe even score a hole-in-one.
On Friday, June 27, The Tips Golf, an innovative new indoor golf lounge, will debut at the AC Hotel Miami Brickell with lavish flair. Merging state-of-the-art technology with luxury hospitality, the bi-level complex welcomes both casual and competitive golfers to practice, play, and socialize.

There’s a sophisticated yet comfortable vibe to the sprawling 3,6000-square-foot lounge, awash in verdant greens and wood paneling, with supple, caramel leather seating and floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of downtown Miami. From the menu, expect modern twists on clubhouse classics, like the Caribbean Transfusion (vodka, grape juice, ginger ale), chimichurri steak tacos, barbecue chicken flatbread, and a particularly playful “bucket of balls” brimming with sugared donut holes.
Guests can sidle up to an intimate, 10-seat bar or flock to one of the play bays with enough room for five or more golfers. While the scene is quite luxe, no snooty country-club rules will kill the vibe; with no formal dress code in effect, athletic attire is totally fine.
Hourly rates vary during peak ($90/hour) and off-peak ($65/hour) times, with memberships starting at $145 per month. Clubs are always provided, so you don’t need to bring your own—though purists are more than welcome to caddie their own irons. Members definitely get the most bang for their buck, including perks like guest passes, free simulator time, dining discounts, and priority booking.
In addition to simulator play and practice, ambitious guests can book private lessons with Miami native and decorated professional golfer Landon Michelson. His coaching expertise airmails everything from mechanics to mindset to course management—all bolstered by The Tips’ cutting-edge swing analysis tool.
This brand-new match-play mecca is the brainchild of avid golfer and Wall Street exec Alejandro Piekarewicz and branding expert wife, Elise. “I created The Tips for fellow golfers who value both performance and atmosphere,” Piekarewicz said. “Whether you’re taking a lesson, practicing on your own, or teeing it up with friends over drinks, our goal is to deliver a premium experience driven by genuine hospitality in every aspect.”
The Tips Golf is situated on the second floor of the AC Hotel in Brickell and will be open Monday to Thursday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 7 a.m. to midnight, Saturday from 8 a.m. to midnight, and Sunday 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
