I've been there when it is 5° outside last winter...and the heaters are amazing. You can be out there with a fleece on and it feels maybe 40°. If it is 40° outside, the heaters would probably make it seem like 65°. Year round, outdoor driving range.


I'm gonna have to disagree on this point. I was there when it was between 15-20 degrees out and even with the heaters it was still way too cold. Our group decided that 30 degrees would probably be the tipping point.
Top Golf is great as a niche place in the winter. In the nice weather I'll take a real driving range obviously. In the winter, only a couple of times a year. I would rather pay $20 to play an hour on a simulator than go to top golf. I can get a full bar and a waitress anywhere, so that is not a perk for me.

Also, while the targets and games are cool, its a little bit screwy because the balls tend to roll all over the place so even a "bad" shot can end up scoring big points.

I will say that their heaters are pretty nice. Cog Hill has heaters and a year round range as well, but the cutoff there is about 30 degrees and that is if there is little or no wind.

We're talking about Chicagoland area places, not St. Louis area places. :)
