| - This is my first Top Golf experience and I was blown away. I am a Las Vegas local for part of the year.
Easy entrance can be found just off of Koval, between Tropicana and Harmon. The parking lot is huge and valet is there at specific times (when it is busy I would guess...it was not available when I showed up a noon on a Thursday).
As a general patron, I was impressed by the size of this place, the four extensive floors, the big bars (two total!), the pretty pool, ample shade and hospitable staff. As a local, without any charge to enter the facility, you could come on in, drink at the bar, people watch the golfers and even eat a meal. The bartender informed us that we could even take a swim if we wanted. We had lunch and enjoyed a really great meal! All items were fresh, creative and tasty, especially the rock shrimp appetizer. Food was about $10-15 an option and a beer set us back $7.50 a piece.
There are air conditioned parts of the facility, but the place for the most part is outside, heavily covered with fans and misters about. Even in 115 degree heat, I was surprised I did not feel hotter than I should, considering it was noon when I was there.
As a golfer, I was impressed by their golf set up. After lunch, we then paid to play for an hour, which for the two of us, was $30 a person, plus $5 for a little membership of sorts (this part is optional). Rates vary based on time of day, floor level and maybe day of week (not certain). First floor was more kid friendly, so it would be my rule to stay away (LOL!). They were busy at noon on a Thursday, but there was no wait and we easily were able to eat, drink and play some golf.
After you check in for your specific numbered spot at the front desk, a host will show you to your golf area. You pay for your time after you play, not before when you get your spot. Couches, bar/food server, Callaway club selections (for both men and women....although you can bring your own clubs as well). The yardage and games are all controlled via a computer screen and their golf Top Golf technology. Hit the ball and your yardage is recorded on the computer screen behind you. It keeps your score as you play with a partner or a group. The hour goes by quickly and it is easy to see how your tab could rise quickly...just kind of know this before you go.
This place I thought was awesome though, as a patron and a golfer. I was really impressed. I was advised that this is their cream of the crop locations in the Top Golf family of facilities across the USA, because of four floors and pool, amongst other things. To do with friends, a group or just my spouse, I would enjoy going back and look forward to doing so in the near future.
