Per @K...S...U request. Quick review of my experience of top golf.
Music - who cares? I couldn't really hear it very well but it was probably that club pop BS that every sports bar and clothing store plays these days. Do not need anymore Lady GaGa or Pitbull in my life.
Food - Food was good. Think sports bar food but good quality. Had some chips and guac and some nachos and both were good.
Beer - decent beer selection. go with the buckets as they stay colder than the pitchers. didn't enjoy drinking warm beer as it was a bit humid last night.
Golf - damn fun and for all. Think golf's version of darts. Many games you can play or you can just go out and smash the ball. My wife and her friends don't play golf and they had a blast hitting the ball 20 yards. They provide 6 clubs. Apparently they are calloways and they aren't bad for what you are out to do.
Wait Staff - I can't speak for the wait staff as a whole but the 2 people we encountered (waitress and a bartender) SUCKED at their job. I believe we may have just been unlucky but our waitress took forever to take our order and then got it wrong. I got tired of waiting on the waitress so I went to the bar. Bartender took 5 minutes putting 6 beers in a bucket and filling with ice. I believe they either suck at their job, are under trained and/or understaffed. This is the only part of the experience I was not impressed by.
Venue - Venue is great. Nice bar when you walk in. Down stairs they have free Xbox, pool tables and shuffleboard for those waiting on their booths. The booths are spacious and the outdoor couch/sectional are comfortable. Bathroom only had 1 urinal, who does this?
Price - can get expensive but can't complain. Demand is there and people are paying it. $5 lifetime membership fee. $40 per hour for the booth(this is not per person). $19 for bucket of 6 16 oz beers. $18 for the 2 appetizers.
Final Recommendations
- request and wait for a booth on the 3rd floor. You will hit it farther and there is a bar on the upper deck. Really enhances the experience.
- weekdays are cheaper.
- play an hour and a half or 2 hours. 1 hour is not enough.
- buckets not pitchers. should be more beer and the beer sits in ice. those pitchers were half full of warm beer quick
- wear sports bar cloths, you aren't going to the clubhouse.
- don't bring your golf bag. you look like a dick and if you want to show off your new 5 wood hybrid then bring 2 or 3 clubs. otherwise use what they provided.
- finally, wait til it cools off and for the shine of this new attraction to wear off. there was way too many people and it hurts the experience waiting in lines.
We had a lot of fun. Mostly at the expense of watching my wife and her friends "swing" a golf club.
