For years I've heard people talk about Top Golf, a driving
range-inspired entertainment center, and I finally had a chance to experience
it myself while visiting family in Houston over the Thanksgiving holiday. My
husband, kids, parents, sister, nephews and I opted to skip the Black Friday
shopping madness and a enjoy a friendly golf competition i nstead.
The Top Golf concept is very cool. The set-up reminds me of a
bowling alley with players assigned bays with electronic scoring screens, but
instead of rolling balls at pins you choose a golf club and hit balls onto a
large green with various targets. Aside from putt-putt I have very minimal golf
experience (although I did consider golf lessons as a potential 40x40), so
actually hitting the ball was my biggest challenge. I did manage a few good
swings thanks to some coaching from my dad and husband and actually ended with
one of the higher scores in our group.

But the game is really just a small part of the Top Golf
experience. I loved the fun, social atmosphere. We were there early in the day
to to beat the crowds and get the half price hourly rates they offer before
noon, so didn't take advantage of the full service restaurant and bar aside
from hot chocolates for the kids, but next time I'll go later. Maybe a couple
glasses of wine will help my golf game.
Experience #29 was a fun family outing. I look forward to trying
the Dallas-area Top Golf locations soon. Only 11 experiences to go!
