Top Golf Lafayette

[CajunSaint08]

If you are going for practice at a driving range, don't. Will ruin your swing. But if you are going to drink and eat and just have fun with your family or buddies, it's a must do.

Heard they have reservations already booked out for a few months.

I believe it. Place is tiny.

Lafayette loves shiny new things. Have y'all passed by the Chimes? Parking lot is always jammed up

Hope they like and support the OLOL stadium.

We'll see. I think because this is a multi-year, separated project, and a fully new stadium won't be ready in 2025 we won't see that full effect. JMO

Probably right.

Top golf will be opening soon and I wonder what golfers think about it. Not being a golfer it looks like a gimmick.

Avid golfer here.

Pros
-Great way to introduce your kids to golf
-Something the whole family can do
-A/C bays make it a good option in July-Aug in Lafayette
-Fun drinking activity

Cons
-Expensive af
-WILL destroy your golf swing
-Having to schedule days before stinks

Overall, glad Lafayette has something new to do.

MAT just curious how will it destroy your swing? I have never been to a Top Golf facility but I am also an avid golfer.

Any swing coach will tell you hitting off of turf is bad for your swing. Clubs that aren't fit to you and hitting off of a surface that doesn't provide correct feedback for your feel are both really bad things for your swing.

If you're a weekend warrior shooting 90 at your local muni, it probably doesn't matter. If you're a serious player trying to maintain a consistent swing, not great.

What if you bring a sq. ft of sod with you

Or your own clubs.

I’m a serious golfer. I’ve been to tg once in Dallas after the bowl game. Was drunk as hell. It’s fun, that’s about it. It’s about as golf as putt putt

[RaginDave]

It's a good time out regardless of skill level. Perfect for a date night or a buddy get together. Food is not bad, either.
This location is tiny, smallest I've ever seen, so I'll probably wait until spring to visit or 1100 on a school day.

This is top golf’s new concept. They basically have owned all the large markets in the US and have populated themselves everywhere possible. The new concept is for medium size markets of 100k -200k.

It is 2 story rather than 3 or 4 stories.

It is a brilliant idea and they will be opening these all over the country in the next few years.

It looks like the Lafayette location has 2 floors with 60 bays. The Baton Rouge location while it has 3 floors is around 70 bays (per Top Golf's website)

Not a huge difference in the amount of bays but the higher you are, the further you can hit the ball. Lol. Speaking as a non-golfer who has been to a few different TG locations

Most of their larger locations have 100+ bays. There are some smaller locations with only 30 bays
