This allows each player to track their golf ball and more accurately score their shots.
Much like how a bowling alley gives separate lanes to each group of players, with Topgolf each party (up to 6 people) will play Topgolf within their own private "bay." Besides the golf game itself, Topgolf also has an extensive food and beverage menu, climate controlled hitting bays, and music, all to make the customers' experience at Topgolf that much more of an enjoyable experience.
