Cost to Play:
If you do not already have one, there is a $5 lifetime membership card required in order to actually play Top Golf. This membership can be used at almost all Top Golf facilities around the country. You do not need a membership if you are just eating lunch.
Each Bay will cost $40/hour for up to 6 players each bay, so
depending on how many people we have playing and how long we decide to play will determine the per person cost.
You DO NOT need to bring your own golf clubs, they have plenty you can use for free (but you can bring your own if you want).

Lunchers Only and other Activities:
Even if you do not plan to play Top Golf with us, please join us for lunch. They have a pretty extensive menu to order from and the food is pretty good. Top Golf has a very casual and fun atmosphere (like bowling). There are also areas where you can play billiards and other activities if you would like to.
