Our first visit here. The restaurant was almost empty. There was only one other table filled. The food and service from Drew were wonderful though. We will be back.

This was a great way to kill some time before dinner. The staff was great. Checked in with us often to see if we needed anything. Played for 1.5 hours. The simulator also had a variety of other games aside from golf like soccer, baseball, football, carnival games, etc… which made it fun for everyone. Room was clean and spacious just a little warm even though the temp was set at 68 degrees. It was pricey at $30 per person per hour. The hour goes by really fast.
