    Great place to socialize with a group. Negatives is food came out cold, drink menu was not accurate so there were some inconveniences and the price of the simulators are expensive.

    UPDATE: I really appreciate the level of support and involvement in the matter, that Mr Kirkpatrick had attending my bad experience, they did everything to subsane my situation and full filed my requests beyond what i was asking, I would definitely go back, to try again. Thanks again. The sim experience was ok, but not for serious golfers.., service was very bad, only one person there, order hamburger bc of bacon jam, didn’t get it, they said it did it wasn’t true.. charge 125 per hour as stated in they’re site but not as stated in my reservation in open table that soda 2 hour simulator experience for 125… they didn’t have the rental equipment either..

    Great food, fun simulator games, and wonderful staff! Were super helpful, friendly, and courteous despite being short staffed when we were there. Even offered us a free play on the simulator later on in the evening when there was an opening! Would definitely recommend

    Absolute worst service I have ever had. Server did not check on us once. We sat at the bar before we got our stimulator and took bartender 10 min to ask us if we would like anything and it was not busy at all. They were to busy talking amongst themselves.

    We came for the Father's day rib special. However, the rib special began at 3pm, which was not posted anywhere, and we were there at Noon. We decided to eat from the brunch menu instead. The food was pretty good and a decent portion. The staff was friendly, but not efficient at all. We waited for everything, from getting an order taken, to getting refills, to the check. The golf experience is misleading when read online. If you want to use the simulator, you have to book in advance for the whole hour. My impression from what was stated online was more like a Dave and Busters type experience where you could walk up and use the simulator for a fee, not a private rental. That was certainly disappointing, as that was the main draw for my dad. Would I go here again? not likely. The staff was friendly, but the restaurant's systems definitely need some work.

    Great spot to take friends and or business partners so many options besides golf as well. So if you’re thinking this is just a golf bar you’ve got it wrong go check it out you won’t be disappointed.

    We were a party of 9 w/ a reservation and were seated quickly. Everyone from the hostesses to all service were super friendly. The food is decent for bar food & drinks were on the small side with tons of ice. We reserved the simulators for 2 hours and we had great time!

    We visited during a week night celebrating a birthday for a party of two. Cocktails were okay, food was excellent and we finished dinner just in time for our turn to play games.
