The golf clubs used for the simulator are extremely bad quality. You have to pay for better clubs and it isn’t much of a difference. The simulator glitches a lot, for a hefty price you get maybe 15 minutes of actual use. They didn’t honor a Groupon. Bad customer service and extremely over priced. No one really goes here, surprised they are still in business. I’d recommend anywhere else to spend your time.

Food was awful and sooo over priced. A McDonald’s burger was better. Our fries were $10 and sooo small. Bartender seemed annoyed to serve us with an empty bar in front of him.

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.
