Topgolf is a blast whether youвЂ™re a frequent golfer or a beginner. I went with my kids and we played the signature game, Topgolf.

The standard game allows for you to compete by shooting for the targetsвЂ¦the further shots earn more points. There are nine different games to choose from. Each bay has its own temperature gauge so you can make it as warm as you need. Additionally, the bays are each heated so you donвЂ™t get cold while playing. You can play year-round as the course itself is heated to melt the snow so you can see the greens and targets. We went on a Friday at noon and it was pretty full.

Topgolf, the company said, was started in North London, England, by two brothers in 2000 who were 'bored on a driving range.' The new ranges solve two problems: There's no long walkВ - or riding around on a cart - and it eliminates waiting for other players in groups ahead of you. Last year, while the National Golf Foundation's annual report showed that the number of golfers dropped, it also pointed out that new driving range facilities, like those being built by Topgolf, are increasing off-course golf participation, according to.
