Among a series of housing and commercial development news at a recent Coralville City Council meeting, it was announced indoor golf facillity X-Golf will open at Iowa River Landing.
A plan to enter into a 10-year lease agreement with two five-year options to renew for 211 E. Ninth Street was approved unanimously by city council.
X-Golf is also building a location in Cedar Rapids. It is expected to open in early June at 5235 Buffalo Ridge Dr. Its only other Iowa location is in West Des Moines.
“The X-Golf locations will have golf simulators that can be rented on an hourly basis year-round,” said Bryant Nicholson, a member of the ownership group, told The Gazette. “There will be an opportunity for leagues, lessons, corporate events and more. The locations will offer something for golfers of all ages and levels — from beginner to experienced.”
According to the X-Golf website, each location includes a full bar and club fittings and trade-ins.
In December, an indoor golf facility called Ringer Golf opened in the Czech Village. It utilizes Trackman, a technology that provides ball and player tracking data for each swing.
And in Tiffin, development is underway for Pinseekers, an outdoor golf driving range alongside I-380 that is owned by Topgolf Callaway Brands.
Coralville West
As part of the Coralville West development, city council agreed to rezone a 1.42 acre lot on Spring Rose Circle to make way for a 9,900-square-foot, one-story, multi-tenant, commercial building on vacant land near Bachmeier Carpet One Floor & Home.
Put forward by Advantage Development Inc., construction will begin at 3408 Merchant St. this spring until the fall, reports The Gazette.
Housing
Several housing developments in Coralville were also approved by city council.
Under three separate hearings, site plans for phase two and phase three of the Forevergreen Heights project — which will include 170 single-family residential homes, 40 duplexes and eight fourplexes in total — was unanimously advanced by the council.
There are two builders working on the Forevergreen Heights development. Construction company D.R. Horton is building much of the single-family detached buildings, while single-family attached buildings are being developed by Jason Dumont, said Coralville community development director Dave Johnson.
The Forevergreen Heights master plan was first approved by city council in 2021.
A 36-unit, multi-family residential building with 81 parking spaces on a 1.42 acre lot on
Spring Rose Circle by Jajesska LC was advanced April 25 as well. It is the continuation of a development approved by city council in 2018.
