Great cheaper alternative to Top golf. Great prices for bay rental. Food was good. Had some other fun games for kids or to be lighthearted. Inside was really cool too, very clean and spacious. Seemed great for events. They can do a food spread for a party which looked great. Minus one star because we asked for the check, our time runs up, we hit a ball 20 seconds after the clock is up, and the manager comes out to rudely ask us to stop unless we pay for another hour.....when we explained the time literally JUST hit zero and we were actually waiting for the waitress to check us out, then he got nice again. Very odd treatment for paying customers! read more

We love Rudy's! We're sad to see it closing soon but we're hoping for a quick and smooth re-opening in their new location. Tariq is amazing and we hope to see him move to the new location as well! We can't wait to see the new spot! read more

Rudy’s Golf - My longest hit! (the blue guest lol) - Golf Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

See all

In town visiting some friends. They suggested hitting up Rudy's for some entertainment and to get out of the house. They gave a disclaimer and explained it was like Top Golf but a couple notches down. They were correct but we had a good time. Service could have been better. We didn't have a bay host meet us to begin. Our server gave some good recommendations. However, we didn't get water refills on a very warm and humid evening. The range was in disarray with several broken targets and standing water. If you don't bring your own clubs, they let you rent a set of 4 clubs for $10. If you're looking for Top Golf, this isn't it. Lower your expectations and enjoy the company you're with. read more

Food eh.... Chicken tenders? If I'm really hungry but Their service for golf and great. Staff members are AWESOME. Love the girls at the front especially this one sweetheart. The guys coming by to check if we need anything else is good too. Ambiance, Bar meets golf I like it. But I love golf more than alcohol and food there hehehehe read more

Located in Alexandria, VA near Kingstowne, Rudy's is your place to go for all your golfing needs! Rudy's has a driving range for those who want to bring their own personal clubs to practice! They have their own bar and your traditional bar food (chips and dip, wings, quesadillas, etc). They also have 2 miniature golf courses with 18 holes. The service here was pretty good (obtaining items for miniature golf and for bar service). read more

Came here for Mini golf and that is clearly not where they focus their attention. There are two courses;however the one is pretty decrepit and the other only slightly better. Price was $12/adult, $10/child. You can bring food and drinks outside. Clearly the focus here are the bays. They were nearly full on a beautiful Spring evening. Seems like a less expensive alternative to Top Golf. Lots of dining nearby if the food menu disinterests you. read more

Rudy's Golf is a nice venue to hang out w friends, alone, or small group. As I understand it, it's a former Top Golf location that is not rebranded and owned and operated under new management. While it looks like an early version of Top Golf what I enjoyed was the service for the event I was attending was A+, the drinks were good, and the food, ok. Tbf it was chicken fingers and sliders. I was told by several people that the sliders were dry but I can say the chicken fingers were like normal average chicken fingers. Rudy's also has a putt-putt course that looks cool and they have other events that look interesting like Bachata lessons. I plan to come back again after work sometime. read more

Rudy’s Golf - Me - Golf Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

We came here the first day of my daughter's spring break. We wanted a place to have a good time and get a bite to eat as well. Ambiance - We got here around 12:30 so there wasn't a lot of people there when we arrived. It definitely had a golf/sports bar vibe as soon as you walk in. Food/Drinks - The food was ok. Nothing impressive, but if eating is not the main reason you're there, you'll be fine. I think the food was better when it was Too Golf. Service - The attendants were great. We got our food timely and our drinks were refilled before we could even ask. One guy even helped me with my swing. Overall, I would definitely go back. The family had a really good time. read more

Was super impressed with this place. Didn't have super high expectations for a "knock off" Topgolf, but it was the same experience for way cheaper. The staff was friendly and the food was good, especially great for the cost. read more

We came here on a Saturday night around 8pm as a group of five. I expected it to be crowded, but we were able to get a bag right away. We paid for 2 hours and then you had to pay an extra $10 to rent clubs. Then you have to carry those clubs to your assigned bay. For those who may not know, this was the first Top Golf in the country back in 2005 and then were eventually sold and bought to become Rudy's golf. You can very much tell how dated the entire place is and how there had not been good up keep overall. They have a large bin of golf balls just at your bay versus at Top Golf where you have a sensor that releases the balls. We never ran out of balls so that was a plus. We ended up mainly playing the distance game and had tried one of the golf course games, but it made no sense on where to hit so we had a lot of frustrations with that game. Our waiter came and checked on us pretty regularly, but we did only order a pitcher of beer and water. One thing I did notice about the place was that there were a ton of spider webs near the ceilings which I wish someone would have tried to clear out. I would say my conclusion is that this place was local to where we were staying and we were able to have to fun, but don't expect anything fancy. It could use some love and attention to bring it back to its glory. The prices were fairly reasonable. It does not seem like a place that gets very crowded as normally a Saturday night it should have been packed. read more

Rudy’s Golf - One of the bays with a table that sits 4 - Golf Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

$30 unlimited balls is a deal! I cannot complaint about it. But the place is DIRTY! like super DIRTY. Now they don't take cash but they will charge you multiple charges in your card and that's my problem! Wtf! I clearly pay and left 10 minutes earlier so they don't pull theft on me. And they did! I gotten multiple charge and you bet I'll despite and maybe sue! They get lots of kids for customer so maybe they think they can get away from it. Not me buddy! I'll shut this place down soon! read more

Review: Trash Experience Premium Prices If you're thinking about coming here instead of Topgolf to "save money," let me warn you now: you're not saving -- you're downgrading. Hard. This place is the definition of "you get what you pay for." And in this case, you're paying for a disaster dressed up as entertainment. Let's start with the so-called mini golf course -- a complete joke. It looks like it's been through a hurricane, a frat party, and a garage sale all in the same week. Tattered turf, crooked obstacles, and dead zones where balls literally disappear. And they have the nerve to charge for it? That's bold. That's delusional. The clubs they hand you? I'm almost certain they were scooped out of a Goodwill donation bin. Worn grips, mismatched brands, and so flimsy I was afraid I'd snap one mid-swing. It's like they're actively trying to make you feel like you're in someone's backyard in 2006 -- and not in a charming way. Meanwhile, the whole venue feels like it's held together by duct tape and broken dreams. Dirty bathrooms, sticky tables, random trash in corners -- just an overall sense of "no one cares." The only vibe you'll catch here is regret. At Topgolf, you're paying for clean facilities, great food, friendly staff, and tech-enhanced games that actually work. Here? You're paying to be disappointed in public. Pros: * It technically exists * Probably fun if you're under 10 or completely hammered Cons: * Mini golf course looks like a war zone * Clubs clearly thrifted from Goodwill * Facility is dirty, outdated, and depressing * Zero effort put into guest experience * Not even close to being worth the price Final Verdict: Do yourself a favor -- spend the extra money and go to Topgolf. This place is trying to charge you for a premium experience while delivering bottom-of-the-barrel quality. The only thing worse than spending money here is realizing you could've had a great time somewhere else. Rating: (1/5) Only reason it's not zero stars is because the app won't let me. read more

We've been to Rudy's a few times now. The service is always great. The food menu is limited (especially the dessert menu) but what they do have is pretty good. The staff is nice and they handle your needs and get your food and drinks out quickly. I heard that they're not staying open much longer though. Pretty sad if that's true cause it's been great having golf there again. read more

Rudy’s Golf - The course - Golf Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Rudy's is in the old Top Golf off Van Dorm. They did a little remodeling of the space. Expanded the dining area off the bar. They upgraded the hitting bays and added different game options or just a practice option. The bays have servers and the menu is a QR code. Full bar. They bays are by the hour instead of per game and have unlimited golf balls. Bay rates depend on the time of day and weekdays vs weekends. 6 people per bay. They have reopened the 2 mini golf courses too. It's nice to a place to hit balls rain or shine while having a nice snack and a full bar. read more

Rudy’s Golf - the practice area at the golf club - Golf Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Affordable place if you want to play golf, grab a drink, and or a bite to eat. Mini golf course course was pretty basic but can't complain for $12. Draft beer selection was good. Food was pretty average, decent flavor with decent portions. Severs seemed much more focused on the golfers in the bays instead of the people in the restaurant / bar area. read more

Brought my two boys here to play a some putt-putt. The course was large and fun, but is outdoors and has faced some wear and tear. Nothing major, just depleted turf and a general "this was created 25 years ago" vibe. People were friendly. We didn't try food or drink. I was surprised how many people were there at the range Saturday 12pm hitting balls. Perhaps it's much cheaper than a TopGolf and there aren't many public golf courses in the city? Not sure. Good spot but not something I would write home about. read more

We came to play putt putt, and to say it is in need of some TLC is an understatement. We didn't even play all the holes due to duck tape and the turf is ripped in numerous places. This definitely needs so upkeep and a good sweep of the greens. read more

The girls at the guest services couldn't be nicer! Super helpful and polite. Wait service was top notch also, she came around at least 5 times to see how we were doing and was happy to keep the cold beers coming! This is a neighborhood staple! read more

This used to be a TopGolf back in the day but has since been rebranded as Rudys. I never went to the TopGolf here but those who have say it looks about the same. We stopped by on a Saturday night and there was about an hour wait. We put our names down and were called up 40 minutes later. We were seated on the ground floor but I wish we were higher. Out of our group, there were only two people who golfed so the rest of us just sat at our bay and ordered food. The ambiance was nice but the service was a little slow. It took a while to get our water and food but the food was fresh when it arrived. We tried the fries, pretzel and mozz sticks; the pretzel was definitely everyones favorite. Next time, I would love to check out the mini golf area! read more

I came here once to see what the hype was about. I had just finished teaching and I knew my husband was here to wind down from his busy schedule. From what I was told Wednesday nights, is their league nights. Ofc, not knowing where I was going and was instructed to come to bay 5, I saw most of our dad friends just hanging out and having a good time. Not that I am against dads having their own and personal ME time, I just thought it was humorous as I was walking towards my husband's bay, as I was greeted with such warm welcomes. Ive noticed the service was on par. The servers took well care of their guests and was very attentive to their needs. Everybody seemed so friendly as bay 5 was buying drinks for bay 6,7,8,19... strangers to besties. You definitely felt the warmth! Im not a golf player, but the technology and screens seemed pretty cool. I hear their membership is priced decent which explains why I saw all of NOVA's fathers hanging out. Also, their finger foods wasn't bad. I had their fries, loaded nachos, and onion rings that wasn't soggy and just paired well with a cold refreshing beer. read more

Great food and good service but don't play the Putt Putt. Went there today with my grandson and the course was horrible.. saw 3 snakes .. 2 dead squirrels and 1 dead fish otherwise it was good. We played 36 holes... not even close to a Top Golf experience! read more

Update - no cons here! The pretzel was absolutely delicious... 1000% improvement from 10 months ago. read more

Pls don't close Rudy's... For real tho, love this place! $25 an hour to hit golf balls, $3 margs, wings that are good. What more could you ask for?! read more

Overall, Rudy's is cheaper than top golf..if you continuously swing balls quickly (price based off time but unlimited balls). The setup is not as comfortable - all seating consists of uncomfortable woven hard chairs. No fans in all bays, and old school track down a server to order F&B rather than the easy modern day QR ordering. It's also hot everywhere - AC doesn't seem on, even indoors. Not a bad spot to swing some balls but not the most comfortable. read more

Awesome spot. Half the price of top golf and the same experience. Alec was our server and he was top notch. Constantly checking in and refilling drinks. We were really impressed with how positive and accommodating he was. Food was decent, just your typical bar food. Would highly recommend bringing your own clubs, unlike top golf that was the norm here and club rentals were $10. read more

I was on my way to the range, and saw the sign for this place. I knew what used to be here, so, naturally, I had to walk in to see the changes. I was not disappointed by what I found.

Rudy’s Golf - Golf Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

8/16/25 Our family stopped in to play miniature golf. We had driven by this place several times previously and thought today a round of golf and late lunch would be a perfect afternoon. As we approached the entrance I noticed how dirty the steps were and the front door hadn't been cleaned or windex in quite some time. The charge for golf was reasonable once we got to the course we were shocked to see the condition. The turf was ripped and frayed there was dirty beer bottles and cocktail glasses everywhere, Cigarette butts and the landscaping bricks were not safe and I twisted my foot trying to take a shot. The waterfeatures were atrocious mold, green water and more glasses from the restaurant along with balls. Needless to say we did not stay for lunch because of the filth and lack of upkeep at 1:00pm on a Saturday I can't imagine what the kitchen looked like. Sad because not much in that area for families to enjoy. read more

1st time at Rudy's was amazing. Our bartender, Cristian, is the absolute best. very knowledgeable and helpful when deciding on the best drink and what pairs best the food. also side note they have different events each day. and I'm not sure who is in charge of the activities but they are on point. we did the candle painting and they also have karaoke nights. it was overall an amazing experience. read more

good facilit, decent food. bad service , I think you all need to step it up, be it pay or training. Everyone who works there avoids eye contact, and interactions in genera, poorly managed staff to keep it short read more

My son and I only did the mini golf course. The bottom of the course was ripping off, the water features were not working, the course was covered in leaves, there were places near the holes that were uneven where we thought they should be even, and there were bricks out of place that caused strange bounces or the ball leaving the course. We hope Rudy's Golf can repair the course as it would be a wonderful course to play. read more

We love Rudy's! The service was amazing! I think the manager handled our bay and he went out of his way for us. We truly had a wonderful time and will be back!! read more

I remember when this used to be a Top Golf location. I am not sure what happened, but ever since this spot opened up as Rudy's Golf it has been disappointing. I was really rooting for this spot to be a hit, but it just does not deliver. First of all, the food and drink menu is extremely limited. While having a smaller menu is not necessarily a bad thing...at Rudy's the quality of the food is not that great. C'mon, you gotta at least have some good food and drink. If you compare this menu to a Top Golf menu, you'll notice that Top Golf has so many more food selections, and even a large choice of specialty cocktails as well (Makers Mark, Four Roses, Absolut, etc..). The number of bays is limited as well, and there are not that many game options. Interior is a but run down in certain spots. Sorry, but I have not been back to this place since. Going once was enough. read more

Rudy's Golf is for everyone looking for low scores and high vibes! This place is a gem for golfers in the DMV area. The one thing that stands out to me is the exceptional customer service, specifically by Stephanie. My buddies and I always try to pay our compliments to her attentiveness and great hospitality. I highly recommend this spot for a great time with great people. I suggest giving it a try the next time you feel like swinging a golf club! Make sure to say hi to Stephanie, she's easy to spot because she's always smiling and checking in to ensure that you and your group have the best time! -Mark B. read more

I was expecting more from the ambiance. Very few tables inside, and I get it a golf place, but could put some more into the inside. I was there to check it out to consider having an event for my employees, but i just wasn't impressed. read more

Old top golf location so it has all the perks of Top Golf without the crowds. Quesadillas are great, and not having to generally wait forever for a bay is even better. Grain of salt, I am a golfer, so I'm very interested in the golf half of this golf/social equation read more

Go see Tariq at the bar! He is the manager and he is Amazing!! Manages the bar area really well with customer satisfaction at high priority. Makes sure that the drinks are made and served at appropriately. We went with a large group and Tariq made sure that the entire group was satisfied. I highly recommend hosting your next happy hour, social gathering or any other event at the bar at Rudy's! You won't be disappointed! read more

The golfing experience is great but the waiter (lightskin curly hair stocky gentleman) helped everybody around us but didn't ask if me and my gf needed anything until 40 minutes later and we had an hour of range time he showed no attentiveness. He was socializing with everyone else before he even spoke to us another guy had to tell us he was our waiter before he even came over I am appalled that he had no interest in helping us.. I expected more (Lets just say the people that he was helping around/before me were not of my melanin) read more

We're regulars (2-3x/week) at Rudy's. What I appreciate as much as anything is the effort they put into improving the overall experience.
