We just had our five year old's birthday party here and it was legendary. Eighteen holes of mini…read moregolf, bumper boats, pizza, cake, ice cream, the works really. Staff was amazing and extremely accommodating. And the price couldn't be beat. Fun spot for some family activity. Batting cages were awesome. Would have hit the driving range too, but fam would probably be steamed if dad split from the party to go hit golf balls. Another time I guess.

Owner likes to make negative comments about customers' golf swings and will actually make fun of…read moreyour swing. (in the middle of when you are swinging) I genuinely thought this was supposed to be a place where people could come to learn and practice golf -- not a place where they would be criticized or embarrassed for how they swing. I am currently in the middle of a significant chronic inflammatory medical flare-up, and simply being out in public right now is already difficult for me. Unfortunately, the way I was treated caused me significant emotional distress and actually made my physical symptoms worse. What disappointed me perhaps more than anything was the lack of basic empathy and understanding. I have a visible medical condition, and right now, participating in normal activities takes significantly more effort for me than anyone looking at me may realize. Sometimes that means sitting in my car applying medication to my skin just so I can comfortably participate in something as simple as going golfing. I don't expect special treatment because of that. I simply expect to be treated with patience, dignity, and basic human kindness. I genuinely believed that most businesses -- particularly a place where people are supposed to be learning and practicing -- would understand that you never really know what somebody walking through the door may be dealing with. Instead of feeling welcomed and given a little grace, I felt rushed, criticized, and embarrassed. Personally, I have never felt the need to write a review before today. (neither good, nor bad..) However, I was not only disappointed by what happened, but genuinely shocked by the experience, which is why I felt it was important to share my experience. People should be able to go somewhere to practice and learn golf without worrying that the owner is going to criticize or make fun of their golf swing. A little patience and empathy can go a very long way, especially when you have no idea what someone else may already be going through. Unfortunately, because this experience caused me considerable distress and negatively affected an active health flare, this business has officially lost me as a customer. We have been regular customers during the summers and have spent a significant amount of money there purchasing large buckets of golf balls -- something the business itself has even commented on because of how frequently we purchased them. Going forward, that business will simply be going elsewhere. I would much rather spend my money at a place where customers are treated with respect, patience, and kindness. it's a pretty basic expectation.

Another stellar experience. Service was fast and accurate. Isabella was kind and on top of it…read more Music was Y2K which we weren't mad about! The clubs are definitely on the newer side. I've played a lot at the Myrtle Beach TopGolf lately and those clubs are hiiit. These were different too, no 5 or 7 irons but instead 4 and 6. We reserved a bay online, got half off and played on the third floor which is the best imo. Food came out fast and hot. The tortillas weren't the freshest I'd had there but they weren't necessarily stale. They were edible but I've had better from there. Bathrooms were practically spotless including the mirrors! Fun little photo op station on the second floor and also a Photo Booth on the first. The TVs are new and not all scratched up. Can get a little loud with the airport but nothing obnoxious. Can't wait to come back! My only real complaint is the party next to us was vaping and blowing it my way- why not blow it in front of yourselves? Kinda inconsiderate when you know you're breaking the rules. I just wish an employee was paying closer attention, the table was a little...intimidating but also I'm no narc.

Such a fun place to hang out with friends or coworkers! Service is usually quick and very attentive…read morein the bay areas, although it seemed a little less so on my most recent visit. I seem to only come here in extreme weather - on a freezing day on January, we were able to stay warm from the heaters that blast from the ceiling, even though you're 60% outdoors. However, when I went in the heat wave last week thinking they'd surely have just as strong air conditioning, I was sweating like crazy. There doesn't seem to be any air conditioning in the bays, and the fans rotated and only hit you briefly before moving on - not super helpful. I wish there was a better way to regulate the temperature in the heat. The appetizers are amazing here despite my incorrect assumption that it'd be mid bar food. I, unprompted, will rave about the queso here to anyone who even so much as whispers the word "Topgolf". The pizza was kind of meh, it reminded me of middle school cafeteria pizza (which hey, sometimes I'm in the mood for that, but it was not super fresh seeming?) We got a big assorted platter and the Mac n cheese bites were yummy, although I wish they didn't have a bit of kick to them. They really need a marinara sauce to come on the platter to dip them in though- the salsa it came with wouldn't go (and wasn't amazing), and the ranch also on the platter felt like creamy overkill to pair with them. The pretzel bites with cheese dip are the perfect size, never too dry or salty, and the dip is incredible, just make sure you eat it before it cools and gets harder because it's significantly less yummy that way. The donut bites with syringes of different fillings (what a fun format!) are a MUST, my coworkers and I have almost gotten into fights over the last shot of creme filling LOL I got the Tito's Mango Frozen Lemonade and it was fantastic, not too boozy (which was perfect for my needs) and helped cool me down. I always want a Jack and Coke when I'm here for some reason, but they only have Pepsi, and it's just not the same (and far inferior, let's be honest). The games are fun, although the instructions on the new soccer game they added for the World Cup and the Angry Birds games are not very clear and left our party confused. I've never handled the booking process, but it seems the standard time slot is 2 hours, after which the screens promptly boot you off. This never feels like quite enough time and I always wish we could stay for 2.5 or 3 hours! The parking lot is spacious and bathrooms are always clean. It can be a little pricy but they run promos. This would be a great spot for a birthday party, friend reunion, or I've been on multiple work team bonding trips.

My nieces are big golfers and they have actually played in international tournaments representing…read morePanama. So I decided to check this Golf Galaxy store to find some stuff for them. The store is HUGE ! It's part of the Dick's Sporting Goods brand, so your loyalty reward for Dick's works here. The amount of golf apparel and clubs is amazing...the store also offers lessons, fittings and simulator rentals. I checked their Clearance section and I found some great golf tops for my nieces at 90% off from their retail prices...so I got two nice looking shirts for them and I was a happy customer !

I went to the Golf Galaxy in Warwick to exchange a righthanded Scotty Cameron putter for the exact…read moresame model in lefthanded. It was a simple exchange--same brand, same model, same price. To my surprise, the store wanted to charge me sales tax again, even though I had already paid sales tax when I purchased the original putter. I wasn't asking for a refund or upgrading to a more expensive club--just exchanging it for the correct handedness. when I asked why I was paying taxes again he said that didn't buy it there originally. The manager on duty wasn't willing to resolve the issue in a way that made sense, which made for a frustrating customer experience. For a premium retailer selling high end golf equipment, I expected much better customer service and a smoother exchange process. I enjoy shopping at Golf Galaxy, but this experience left me disappointed. I hope management reviews their exchange policies so future customers don't run into the same issue.
