Top Golf

If you can't afford your own Trackman (space and/or money) then there are plenty of options to play outside the home. First, you need to decide the atmosphere you are looking for: quite social, foursome social, and solo (focus on your swing). Top Golf has done an amazing job creating a social spot where there is a variety of golfers and non-golfers hanging out. It is as much of a restaurant & bar as it is a golf experience. Unfortunately, there isn't a location in Manhattan...yet. If you want a slightly more golf-focused experience, bring your own foursome, you may consider slightly less social 5 Iron Golf; the music is lower and the bar is less vibrant. And last, there is a variety of experiences where it is simply a golf simulator, like LoftLinks on the UES. This is a perfectly fine simulator experience with no other frills. My advice is to figure out what you want and book at least an hour, as 9 holes in the simulator still can take over an hour to play, despite not walking to your ball...maybe it's all the eating, drinking, and socializing.
