Top Golf

Take your own clubs but remember that your normal distances mean nothing there. The balls at TG don’t fly as far.

 

I was thinking the same thing. That and they have been smashed around with a chip inside for registering where you land, etc.... That said, different TopGolf's have different quality clubs in the bays too. Still, easier just to use them.

I have been only to the Top Golf in Chicago and I was not happy with the place. Maybe it's the noise within the place or something else. Within the same location as Top Golf Chicago is a short course so it is much better to go there and play.

I'm torn on it as well. It's not really a good environment for practice. So, at the end of the day I'm paying $45 an hour to hit crappy feeling limited flight balls from an elevated tee off a hard mat. I can go to my local range with my buddies and order a pitcher of beer and sit around and hit real golf balls in a real practice environment for much less money. I'm just not sure it's for me....

I'd just bring your own clubs if your going at night. Place is a madhouse and dragging the bag around while you wait for your bay is a pain.

 

If you go in the morning, bringing your own clubs is more doable. Their balls seem to be 10-15 yards short from regular balls.

 

Truthfully the games where you hit the targets inside of 100 yards are the best for "practice" and "competing" with hacker friends, since everyone can usually get a ball out to every target.

Top Golf is like going bowling with friends. It's not really meant to practice, but hopefully it gets a fewer non golfers into the game.

 

That being said, if there was one near me, I'd probably bring my own clubs. I might not bring a full bag, but I prefer hitting the clubs fit for me than swinging something new. There is no Top Golf near me though, and when I've gone on travels I am not going to bring a set of clubs on a plane just to go to Top Golf.

Ive done it both ways, brought my own and played theirs. Had a better time playing their antenna whip shovels because I didnt care to do well. That and the balls feel like s*** off a "real" clubface. Distance loss was a ton and it seemed like I hit a bunch of knuckleballs with my clubs but fared a little better using theirs.

The location I go to lowered their tees so that you cannot hit driver. I asked and they said too many people were hitting it over the net. I'm a scratch golfer and I can really move it if I want to..........its a HAUL to get it over that net. Especially with flight restricted balls. Then you look around and realize 90% of the people there are terrible or have never played in their life. I can only think that MAYBE they were hitting it over the net sideways. But you can still MacGyver it and use a wooden tee with some tape to increase the height.

When they were higher it was a danger issue. People hitting the hybrid or iron off the tee only to hit way under causing the ball to go straight up sometimes almost hitting the person in the face and also the ball hits the ceiling then bounces everywhere sometimes at high speed. I had to dodge a few balls before and seen some get pegged by a ball.
