Whether you’re wanting to hit a few balls or chow down on some delicious bites all while having a good time, Top Golf is the place. I had mixed feelings about Top Golf before I actually went because I didn’t know what it was all about. It’s a place for guys to go and play golf, right? Well, I was wrong.
Upon arriving at Top Golf, we were greeted and got our play cards set up. The Top Golf cards are personalized (fancy!) and resemble a credit card, the card keeps track of all your previous scores from the games you’ve played. Instead of renting out a set of golf clubs, we opted to bring our own. If you don’t have your own set, you can rent clubs for free so don’t sweat it.
Three stories of golf bays line the complex, luckily we were set up on the second floor in the very center with a gorgeous view of the course. To start golfing we inserted our cards and we were good to go. To keep things interesting, you are able to choose from 5 different styles of games: Top Golf, Top Chip, Top Pressure, Top Shot, and Top Drive. Here’s a break down…
- Top Golf: Score points by hitting balls into any target. The closer to the center and the further the distance, the more points you earn. Hit your ball into any shaded area and your next ball counts double.
- Top Chip: Perfect to work on your short game. This game utilizes just the red target (5 shots), yellow target (5 shots) and green target (10 shots). Hit the correct target and you’ll score points, but hit the wrong target and watch your points disappear.
- Top Pressure: Test your touch, accuracy and how well you work under pressure by hitting all 9 sections within the yellow target. There’s two more levels with points worth 2X and 10X the section amount. Be careful not to hit the same section twice in these levels or you’ll lose points.
- Top Shot: Challenges you to hit the targets at 4 consecutive distances (5 shots each). Determine the level of difficulty by the starting point you choose (red, yellow, green or brown target). Hit the correct target and you’ll score points, but hit the wrong target and say goodbye to those points.
- Top Drive: Think you can hit the ball hard and far? This game will prove you wrong. Drive the ball to the pink/white and black targets. I watched many men attempt to get to the back targets and didn’t see one hit it, quite entertaining to say the least.
Each game was exciting and kept me interested. While testing out each game, I had a few drinks and looked over the menu. I was starving and assumed they would only have bar food but I was wrong! For starters I ordered the Mushi as recommended by my waitress. She told me that it was one of everybody’s favorites on the menu, so I took her word for it. Trust me when I say, the Mushi did not disappoint. Think of eating sushi with mexican ingredients, pretty awesome, right? A few drinks later, I was ready for dinner. Nothing too crazy was ordered, just a Classic Cheeseburger and Margherita Pizza. Both were delicious and highly recommended.
It was a chilly night and I did not come prepared, as usual. I figured I would freeze my butt off but was pleasantly surprised that the bays had outdoor heaters that kept the area nice and cozy.
No matter if you are an amateur or pro golfer, Top Golf is for everybody and every level. Test out your golf skills, devour the food and enjoy the atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed.
My fave part about visiting Top Golf is the cool lounge environment. We had a great time relaxing in the covered outdoor section and enjoyed challenging each other to who could make the longest drives.
I love Top Golf because it’s the best day or night hangout place. There is something to do for all ages. drinks (adult and non-adult bevrages), food, games, golf.. annnnnd amazing heaters to keep you warm! What more could you ask for? Its the best way to start out a day or evening with friends!
I love the atmosphere there plus their food!
There’s no place that can match the experience at Top Golf.
I love Top Golf, great for parties, date night, or even for my husband’s guys night out. I really loved how the golf balls were trackable. It’s a really neat place and a great place in DFW. A definite must-go when I have family or friends from out of town!
Top Golf actually makes golf fun…imo. I love the driving range feel with the added competition not to mention the booze and food. An all in one experience that I would make a Saturday ritual!
I love Top Golf because of the great customer service and exciting atmosphere. I hate golf but this made it fun! Putt putt for grown ups!
I like that I don’t have to go find my ball in the bushes, the parking lot, or wherever it ends up when I hit a bad shot.
Most of the time when you play golf, you have to wait until after the last hole to drink. I love Top Golf because you can drink the whole time!
Top Golf is awesome because it provides an informal place for those of us learning how to hit golf balls for the first time! And, of course it’s a great place to simply relax and hang out with friends.
I love how much fun it is! I like playing golf and it’s just a great atmosphere to play in
Top Golf is the shit! I’ve only gone once, but it was a damn good time! Hope I can go again soon 🙂
The best thing about top golf has got to be the full stocked bar and the covered tee box areas.
I love that you can go Top Golf and be competitive with those who are better or worse at golf and it’s still a great time!
I would love to have the chance to try out top golf.
I love Top Golf because you can suck at golf and still beat your boyfriend because the points are what matters. 🙂
