Kingfish, I'll pay for a round of golf with you at Top Notch.

That's some good looking arch pipe!

I know they've done their research, but i question whether there's enough local population with enough money to keep a top golf going for more than 5-10 years or so? I hope it is profitable long range.

@2:54
Top golf is cheaper to run and more profitable than a golf course. What is more likely to happen is local golf courses will suffer because everyone is enjoying the cool shady comfort of Top Golf.

I hope this works out. I’m concerned that it will be ruined by the element that keeps us from having nice things, but I hope this works out. It’s not cheap, so hopefully that helps. This can be a really nice amenity for the area.

Just an observation - I've never laid eyes on a Top Golf so I have no idea how big one is or the extent of the interior finishes, but we are half way through May, and if that thing is to be opened before Christmas, somebody is going to have to get off their ass.

2:54,over a short time, it will follow the history of the water park in Ridgeland.

Wow, bunch of negative crap!

Does anyone know if Trader Joe’s is coming there?

Trader Joe's is for a bunch of snooty people. Where is the Piggly Wiggly.

@8:29 - there is a difference between being negative and being realistic.

"Does anyone know if Trader Joe’s is coming there? "

I heard they were not, supposedly because state law prohibits liquor sales on Sunday, so they opted out. But I noticed last week at Costco that their attached, but separate, liquor section was closed on Sundays while the rest of Costco was open. So it must be a corporate decision by Trader Joe's if that story is true.

I have visited Top Golf in several cities. It includes great food and drink, golf attire, and golf equipment for sale. The place is not cheap, which should keep out many of the troubled youths who frequent this area.

Been to 2 or 3 Top Golf’s around the country for mainly Corporate functions with clients and prospective clients. It’s also great for
Families. They have 2 or 3 different Putt Putt courses on site plus baseball and softball batting cages. The staff goes thru rigorous training. It’s not cheap.. but well worth the money spent. Ridgeland has the highest per capita income in the state and that will help.
TG will target companies in the metro area and that is where the most profitable ticket happens. Hope it’s successful.

Great news!

To hell with Trader Joe’s. Give me a damn Publix.

I'm with 2:32 on this.

" Ridgeland has the highest per capita income in the state and that will help."

All those Ridgeland apartments adjacent to Jackson? They're bringing the per capita income in Ridgeland up above Madison's? That seems, uh, dubious.

Prediction: It will be great for the first six months or so while the corporate staff is here. Once they leave and it is left up to the local population to staff and operate the facility the whole experience will quickly go to sh#%. Hope I am wrong.
