Whether starting the day in Miami or traveling in from West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, or even Orlando, Brightline makes getting to Brickell effortless. With direct service into MiamiCentral and seamless last-mile connections via Metromover or rideshare, the journey is smooth, fast, and entirely stress-free. For those looking to bypass traffic and parking altogether, Brightline offers a more elevated alternative—one that aligns perfectly with the polished experience waiting at the destination.
That destination is The Tips Golf, a new luxury golf lounge in the heart of Brickell that blends hospitality with sport in a striking two-story space. Located on the ground floor of the AC Hotel Miami Brickell, just steps from the Eighth Street Metromover station, The Tips brings a refined, club-like atmosphere to the city’s financial core. Designed by Stalemate Creative, the 3,600-square-foot interior features rich leather, dark woods, and a warm, social tone. It’s a place where guests can swing, sip, and settle in—without needing a tee time or country club membership.
At the core of the concept are five TrackMan iO simulator bays, offering best-in-class technology for both seasoned golfers and first-timers. While the simulators anchor the experience, the lounge is equally focused on ambience—complete with a full-service bar, crafted cocktails, and a curated small bites menu. Founder Alejandro Piekarewicz describes the vision as “a fusion of top-tier golf tech with the feel of a high-end hospitality setting,” and it shows in every detail, from the marble finishes to the thoughtfully programmed guest experience.
Getting there via Brightline only enhances the appeal. The journey from West Palm Beach takes about 75 minutes, with onboard Wi-Fi, snacks, and lounge access available in Premium class. From MiamiCentral, a Brightline shuttle or uber is only a 2 minute ride, or the free Brickell Loop Metromover, just a block away, runs every few minutes, delivering riders within walking distance of The Tips. For those coming from outside the tri-county area, the new Orlando extension makes a day trip entirely feasible—transforming what was once a long-haul drive into a seamless, car-free outing.
The Tips is the latest addition to Brickell’s evolving identity as a destination for more than just finance and real estate. With high-end dining, luxury residences, and now a first-of-its-kind indoor golf concept, the neighborhood continues to expand its lifestyle offerings. The arrival of The Tips, paired with Brightline’s growing network, signals a new chapter for urban recreation—where the journey is just as stylish as the stay.
