Top Golf in Chesterfield 1-18-2020

This is not the first time Mike, Anna, and I have been to Top Golf.  We went for Father's Day last year.  But the 3 older kids are home for our family Christmas (since Anna is in town from Taiwan) and we decided to Top Golf together.

It is a fun thing to do together.  It is about $38 per hour.  The problem is there are some hidden charges.  EACH player has to pay a "once in a lifetime" membership fee of $5.  So, we had 4 new players, thus $20 more.  Also, if you don't want to wait for a long time, you can reserve a bay.  For a $50 reservation fee you can walk right in and begin playing.  This $50 doesn't go toward anything else, it just eliminates the waiting.  As we were wanting to do other things on this day, we paid this fee.  I know other people who arrived about the same time we did (2:30 on a Sat. afternoon) were waiting about an hour to play. 

It took 6 people about an hour to play a game.  We stayed for 2 hours and played 2 games.  There are a variety of games (hit the targets, distance, scramble, etc.).  We stuck with the one we knew. 

We had fun.  Some people are definitely better at this than others and that's why it is fun.  Everyone cheers for everyone else.

Just a side note...Since the first time I was at Top Golf was in June, I assumed that the big heaters they had would keep the playing area warm during the winter.  They do help, but I wouldn't say it was warm.  I still wore my winter parka the entire time.  It was about 35 degrees outside while we were playing.

I'm sure we will go again at some point.  I still think it is a fun thing to do once and awhile.
