Living it up on Top (Golf)

Top Golf Driving Range View

It’s just about that time of year to take a trip to the driving range, and there’s no better place than Top Golf. Top Golf is a rapidly growing driving range chain. It was conceived by two brothers who were both serious about their golf; so serious that they started Top Golf in 2000. The first-ever Top Golf was located in Watford, UK (A town right outside of London). After Top Golf was struggling to put up numbers, it found its way across the pond in America. The first Top Golf in the States was in Alexandria, Virginia, and was in a similar predicament as the location in Europe. After opening locations in Chicago and Dallas, they finally struck gold. The Dallas location was an instant success, and the company finally took off.

As fascinating as the company’s history may be, some would say the experience at Top Golf is much more exciting. It is the perfect family fun activity even for those who aren’t avid golfers. Bryan Mesaros told us, “I don’t really golf a lot, but it was still fun.” Bryan is someone who isn’t a big fan of golf but was able to find fun at Top Golf. The environment is almost always upbeat and fun, and the reason it attracts so many is because of the variety of entertainment they have. Of course, the biggest attraction would have to be the game catalog, which is closely followed by the wide variety of food and drinks they can bring to you at your bay! And it’s not just your basic run-of-the-mill appetizers and simple courses. They’ve got a dense menu including mostly appetizers and a decent amount of sandwiches and burgers. Even with all that, there’s one attribute of the game that will definitely spike your interest. Top golf uses an extremely unique and fascinating technology called “Toptracer.” This technology essentially can track the balls by RAIN RFID chips inside the ball. The chips not only track speed, distance, and trajectory but can also keep score for players. This technology makes it effortless to keep score and enjoy the games Top Golf has to offer.

All in all, Top Golf is a wonderful place for families, friends, business, and everything in between. If you need a place to get down the perfect swing, top golf is right for you. If you need to let off some steam and enjoy an evening to yourself, or with friends, top golf is right for you. If you just want to chow down on some quality food and treat your golfing buddies to a night of fun, you know exactly what is right for you. Whoever you are and whatever you enjoy, you will find something to enjoy at Top Golf.
