| - Whether you're a complete newbie or a seasoned golfer, TopGolf is a ton of fun.
THE SETUP:
TopGolf is basically a three-level driving range with a variety of targets and with big screens (like the size they have at a large arena or stadium) showing sports on the far side. Each bay has an l-shaped seating area, a table, TVs coordinated to track your drives, and the actual golfing area which has an automatic ball machine and a full set of clubs (lefty clubs are available by request). Each pair of bays face each other.
As each bay accommodates 6 golfers, groups of up to 12 can use two side-by-side bays.
PRICING:
The golfing is actually pretty inexpensive. If you go midweek and before noon, you can get a bay for as cheap as $30/hour (plus a $5 member fee for each person). Friday/Saturday nights can go for as much as $90/hour. You can find discount vouchers from the booth in the lobby of the MGM, and don't need to do full hour increments (we ended up golfing for an hour and a half).
FOOD/DRINK:
Food and drink are really the way TopGolf makes its money. Beers start at $7 each and bottle service starts at $300. The best values are getting Beer for the Bay ($24 beers for $150) and getting shareable platters rather than individual dishes. Our group came for breakfast/brunch and shared the street taco platter ($75) and the fruit platter ($65). The food was much fresher and better than expected especially the carnitas tacos, and came with grilled onions, chips, salsa, pickled vegetables, peppers, and guacamole. I also enjoyed the manmosa (Blue Moon, prosecco, and OJ) for $10. You can spend a ton of money here but you don't have to.
