There is a new Golf Simulator in town at Campus 805. Kind of neat. They sell beer and food, play 100+ courses.

I believe it's called X Golf.

Heard about it but haven't been. Heard how the Top Golf's coming along?

 

[57stratdawg]

It's coming along. Haven't heard an open date, but I'm assuming it'll be 2018. I saw they have put pillars in for the nets and the main building is framed up.

Targeting Fall 2017

I'm struggling to recall the exact month but they are on a very aggressive schedule that is
well before the end of 2017.

That entire development is going to be really nice.

Oh wow. They're pretty fun. I expect it to be packed for the first few months.

I would think Huntsville is one of, if not the, smallest cities they're in. Every time I've been to one it's like Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Austin, etc.

I believe that's correct. They're also building one in Birmingham (the smallest city before the Huntsville announcement). I suppose the owners see a bright future for this place.

Yeah, it's coming up quick. I was driving south on Research yesterday and was amazed to see the steel framing for the entire tiered teebox structure and building was already complete. Birmingham has one coming as well and I think they are scheduled to open around the same time.

That's definitely correct. I was amazed when I heard they were coming. I suppose having the largest number of engineers per capita in the nation goes a long way. Wahlburger's is also coming to the new development at the old Holiday Inn location near downtown. That's another franchise that typically only opens locations in very large cities.

Can't remember where I saw it, but there's some aerial photos of the site from a week or so ago. They've poured the target areas and the footprint of the entire Top Golf is easily visible. It's less than five minutes from my office so I can see a lot of after-work team building exercises in my future.

Please enlighten me. What is a "Golf Simulator" and how does it compare to the real McCoy?
