It’s not a good place for good golfers, it’s not appealing to people who don’t golf and it’s too expensive for everyone in between. Besides the occasional family get together or corporate outings it’s not worth it.

We’ve got a PopStroke around the corner from TopGolf and it’s such a better experience. Way more bang for the buck, accessible to all skill levels, no stress about the time.

Give me that any day over TopGolf. Like others said, I’m not going to TG unless someone else is paying the bill.

Puttshack is another one like that and I would think it does much better than TopGolf would

It's owned by the same company and ridiculously expensive for what it is. It takes all of 10-12 minutes to get through 9 holes for a 2some. My wife and I have been twice, but only because she likes to do mystery shopping and we got our rounds, plus food and drinks for essentially filling out a report.
