I was on I40 between Harrison and US 1 today for the first time in quite awhile, and noticed the Drive Shack facility being well underway along the eastern side of the highway. I just visited their website, and it looks like they're planning to open in the spring. I hadn't seen anything posted here in quite some time.
That may turn out to be a pretty good location for them. Has anyone been to a Drive Shack, or does anyone know how it compares to a TopGolf? Obviously, they're similar in concept.
I was reading a book about dinosaurs with my Kindergartener, and we got to the page on the Euoplocephalus. It was a large herbivore with thick scaly plates, spikes, and a large clubbed tail. After reading about about a bunch of other dinosaurs, including predatory carnivores like T-Rex, I asked my son why he thought it had developed the spikes and that clubbed tail. His response: “So it could play GOLF!” I have not laughed that hard in a long time...

Haven't been to one as the company is a lot newer then Top golf but I expect it to be an almost identical experience.
Callaway backs TopGolf and Taylormade backs DriveShack so I expect the quality to be just as competitive when it comes to these "golf party venues" as it is between their golf products.
Can the Triangle support two similar venues so close together once TopGolf builds in Durham at Page Road/40? (Assuming they go through with their plans.)

Possibly not. There's nothing on the TopGolf site that indicates a "Coming Soon" location in North Carolina (https://topgolf.com/us/locations-by-state/ ). They may have scrapped any plans they had..

Top Golf originally had plans to build a location at CTC, but the Cary NIMBY's ruined that. The silver lining is, that allowed an opening for Drive Shack to build its site off of I-40. A big tourist city like Orlando can support two of these facilities, but not the Raleigh area.
