Not to far from me have you seen the new top golf going in at independence?

Welcome from Akron!

We had heard there is a top golf going in up there. That should help with some of the withdrawal symptoms to go with living in this area.

@MattF have gotten together to play a few times and I'm sure we will play more next year.

Max...is the one he's talking about the one that was down the road from the pizza place where we ate?   I'm not sure if it was open then, but I recognized netting/fencing anywhere!

gotcha.  It looked like a a pretty location, just from the little i saw during my trip out there this fall. 

[Mizuno_fan]

Oh yes it is. I’m sure it will be packed during opening, however won’t need it until October/November so it would be ok by then

The very first one in the US opened up in Alexandria, VA about 15 years ago.  My office at the time was about 2 miles away.  At the time Top Golf was more about the actual practice and competition versus the entertainment aspect of it.   So even in good weather, I'd go there at least once or twice a week for an extended lunch, as there was really no other practice facility around.   It wasn't the cheapest way to practice and I certainly didn't hit 100 balls...ha   but usually had 3 or so games which I think consisted of like 20 shots at the time.

there is one of the new ones opening up near us in Baltimore in the next 12 months I believe.  I'll check it out at some point just to see, but I know it's not near the same model it used to be.   But that's fine, as I now have a practice facility about 80 yards from my desk

That one was just North of Columbus. There is apparently another one going in between Akron and Cleveland.

I personally wouldn’t consider top golf a practice facility. I think they are more of an entertainment/bar/restaurant model that happens to also have a driving range. I know the one about 30 minutes from me is too crowded all year and cost prohibitive for actual practice.

I was talking about the practice facility that close to your desk. Not top golf.

There is a beautiful course in Sandusky I believe it’s called saw run or something like that

I think he  may have been  referring to my comment about my practice facility being 80 yards from my desk.

But I agree  completely about Top Golf, in the original concept it was part practice and part entertainment.  Now I'd say it's 100% entertainment, and that's ok, if it' brings new people to the game.

I think you're referring to Sawmill in Huron just east of Sandusky, it use to be a nice course. I play there a couple of times a year with our men's group,  most recently I found it a bit run down. I believe the entire resort (which probably hasn't been updated in years) is on the market. The preferred public course in the area is Thunderbird. The north course has narrower tree lined fairways, the south course is wide open. Both are very well maintained.

When I played it this year there was water pooling in the bunkers and the fairways were a bit rough. A course that's closer to you that I really like is Pine Hills in Hinckley. If you didn't know better you'd think it was private the way it was kept.
