| - I have mixed feelings about Topgolf... There are definitely many pros but there are cons as well.
I'll tell you both.
The parking situation is terrible. If I was not here for date with the Mr, once experiencing the ridiculous parking situation, I would just go elsewhere. BUT as Topgolf put a dent in my vibe, I did not want to ruin the vibe for my honey so I kept it together. The parking lot is under construction so there is NO parking there. You have an option of parking at the MGM, which is a 0.5 mile walk OR attempt utilizing the valet which will likely be full, as it was for us. A chance for valet being full is pretty high since they are only able to take about 10 cars and the only other option is 0.5 mile away. So, dressed for date night, I had to walk 0.5 miles in 100 degree weather AND pay for parking at MGM. As much as Topgolf charges, it's unacceptable. There is a shuttle running between Topgolf and MGM but there are no signs anything else letting you know where it is or that it's even available, so good luck finding it.
After having my soul irritated by the parking situation and walking from MGM, we came inside to be treated by very friendly staff. Straight from the door smiling faces were saying hello and directing us where to go.
There are different levels with different pricing. Levels 1 &2 are $15 cheaper and cater more to families. Level 3 is 21+, has a bar, and better views. We opted for level 3 ($75/hr on a Monday). Each section has a leather sectional with some throw pillows and a table. Cool vibe. We ordered some food and drinks which were pretty good but I found to be a bit pricey. The Mr. ordered a wing app that came with 6 wings that carried a $13 price tag...
I am not a golf player so this was a pretty new experience for me. There were several club options which were divided between men's (left) and women's (right) sections. After trying out a few clubs, i found the right one for me and actually scored some points! Who knew golf can be fun? Or may be golf + cocktails is fun? Either way, we had a blast!
The concept of Topgolf is awesome. I just feel that at this price tag they should take better care of their customers, even with parking lot issues, it could have been better managed/organized.
