![]() ![]() If given the option to choose between Drive Shack and Top Golf, we will choose Top Golf. My family thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Drive Shack. Whether you are a novice golfer or on the PGA tour, the concept is loads of fun for everyone!ĭo not get me wrong. ![]() You choose from a multitude of different games, many of which are family-friendly. The micro-chipped balls record the balls location on a screen. Both entities are multi-floored using golf balls with micro-chip technology. As a family, we have experienced the semi-indoor interactive golf range with Top Golf, but this was our first experience at Drive Shack.ĭrive Shack and Top Golf are both semi-indoor driving ranges. It's about 30 minutes for us to go to Top Golf but for now I think it's worth the extra drive.īecause the heat is unbelievable here in Florida, we were looking for our next indoor adventure for our son’s birthday celebration. Sadly though, I didn't go there for the food and I sure hope Drive Shack can improve since I live only 5 minutes away. On the positive side I had the "Bucket of Balls".tasty meatballs served with toasted bread with plenty of cheese and sauce. Many good shots that were within targets came up with "0" scores. Found the touch screen to be not nearly as user friendly as Top Golf's and my biggest complaint is with how inconsistent the scoring system was. At 930PM we were finally hitting golf balls. Then, as expected, we had to wait for a bay to open up which took another 20 minutes. Bottom line: the process to get signed up for a membership card took about an hour. I don't understand how Drive Shack can have all the time it took to finally get the facility open and to research what Top Golf has been doing and then when they do get open they completely drop the ball. Not much response other than a lame "sorry". I finally got the attention of one of the managers and told him how disappointed I was with the process. Why none of the greeters pointed this out to the people as they came in nor while they waited in line I don't understand. After standing in the exact same place in line for 20 minutes one starts to look around to see what the hold up was.only three people doing the work of signing people up while three guys who looked like managers were huddled around a laptop doing an extremely poor job of managing! We figured out on our own that you could go to their website and enroll and pay the $5 plus tax for a membership but still we needed to wait to see someone about getting our membership cards. They had four "greeters" at the door and our group found our way to the line to wait to signup for our membership cards and then get a bay. We went last night (Saturday April 21st) at 8PM for the first time and upon arrival found Drive Shack to be very busy as expected. If you live locally sure its a fun place but overall its a sad knockoff. Arcade games were free which is a plus but they really need help making this place better. We were with a big party celebrating and its just one of those experiences that makes me not care to ever go back. The food menu is lacking and barely has any good options. This place looks like they copied the idea and spent half the price. For being practically just as expensive as as its competition you get a far better experience elsewhere. The computers do not accurately know where your ball lands, as I hit multiple balls into targets and they didn't register inside, then due to there system if you don't place the ball inside a small square box it doesn't register your swing. So not only did we lose practically the first 10 minutes and the scoring was out of wack. It doesn't allow you to switch the order of players or allows you to choose how many swings you get. Then their computer system for scoring and keeping track of players is not customer friendly. They shouldn't start your time until you are ready to start playing. The attendant started showing us everything about there system while our play time was wasting away. ![]() Drive Shack employees were disorganized at the front counter and I could tell the operations of the place is lacking. So i finally tried Drive Shack, and there is a night and day difference on who spent more and has nicer facilities compared to their known competitor. ![]()
