| - My wife has spoken very highly of the Top Golf Austin location, so we decided to check out the Vegas one while we were in town. Our group of four arrived around 10 PM on a Wednesday night. First and foremost, this place is EXPENSIVE. The weeknight base rate is $75/hr and that is before you're forced to pay $5 for a silly plastic card for each person that you want to add to the "game".
We were placed in the 21+ area as the other areas had 45+ minute waits, even though we had no intention of ordering food or drinks. We immediately were hounded by a waitress looking to take a drink order and we were forced to show ID. If you're going to seat someone in the 21+ area, check ID at the desk beforehand. We stated we didn't want any food or drinks, however she returned every 5-10 minutes to try to get us to order drinks. I realize this person works for tips, but I just want to hit some golf balls and it's not my fault the people at the front desk placed us at this specific area. Go away.
I came in under the impression that we would all be able to hit balls in our own bay individually, but I guess that isn't how that works here. While the group games could be fun, I ultimately just wanted to smack some balls, and I wasn't able to do that. The price you pay for what you get is not a good value unless you fill the bay with a party of six, and even then the hourly rate is still bad.
I may check out Top Golf in another city, but I definitely will not return to this one.
