| - YES! As good as it gets! I mean, I don't even play golf and I had a blast. It's just ridiculously fun.
Essentially it's a driving range, but it's that and so much more. There are a couple bags of various clubs (5s to 9s, as I recall, no woods) to use. There are RFID chips in the balls, so each player can track their shots. There are a variety of targets, both close in and far away, to shoot for. A computer keeps score. When you hit a target a computer display shows where your ball ended up.
I can barely hit a golf ball. About half of my swings totally miss the ball. But I was still able to hit the targets quite a few times. I even got one right in the center of the blue target (175 yds) for 40 points.
Neophytes need not worry, you really don't even have to know how to swing a club. You'll figure it out.
Real golfers will dig Topgolf in a major way. You can program the computer a dozen different ways to set up competitions between you and your friends.
We rented a bungalow bay for my niece's birthday party. She uses a wheelchair and access was easy through a side entrance, and an elevator was available to take us to the fourth floor. The bay came with a server, who was outstanding.
Food and drinks were brought out continuously. And damn, that food was TASTY. We had so many crazy things it was impossible to try them all. Highlights were the shrimp (breaded and deep fried, sort of like orange chicken but shrimp), the sushi (surprisingly good sushi!), and the kabob/skewer thingees (chicken, pork and beef). There was pulled pork and a lot of other stuff I didn't get around to.
Dang, almost forgot to mention the dessert! They make a pudding cup that kicks ASS. In fact, even if you don't want to golf, you should stop by and try this pudding if you are anywhere near the MGM. Wow! This isn't the pudding mix your mom used to make. This is the real deal.
If you are visiting Las Vegas and are looking for something different to do, I would highly recommend Topgolf. Great party venue. Great gift idea.
