Do they have left handed clubs?

Again, this has the potential to be a nice addition to the Jackson area. Spend any amount of time outside of Mississippi and you'll realize just how little Jackson has to offer in the way of entertainment. Hopefully the prices are high enough to maintain a certain quality of customer. (No, you cannot have low prices and high-quality customers in Jackson. Pick one.)

The state of Mississippi has little to offer in the way of entertainment. "Pricing out the riff-raff" isn't going to necessarily work because as much as people like to think it's strictly a Jackson problem, a ton of people have been complaining about the price of things for the past four years. Also a lot of people just aren't raking it in out ins Madison as many assume. Look at Renaissance for example. $60 an hour before drinks and food adds up. All I can say is Good Luck!

Wonderful addition to Ridgeland/Madison area. Hope Top Golf will do as well here as in other cities.

A lot of golf eggs will have to be shot to re-coup the cost of that facility

You sound like such a joy

It's in Ridgeland

The real entertainment will be watching some drunk Rankin rednecks shooting at golf balls.

My concern is they are not using RFID chip golf balls and the holes with nets for this location. They are using shot tracking software.
With the nets anyone can play and you get points when your ball rolls in and stops. People who are terrible at golf can still have fun. With shot tracker it is going to appeal more to people who are good at golf.
I am hoping once I go play that these concerns are alleviated. If this doesn't do well it is going to make it tougher to get anything else to come for awhile.

Nice photos and inside views! Thanks! Wish them a great success in Ridgeland MS.

I'll enjoy playing mini-golf with the little ones. Being able to buy lunch and maybe an alcoholic drink there will be nice but don't care about the other stuff.

Just in time for new full service UMMC hospital across the interstate. Goodnight Jackson.

According to Top Golf, all of their locations use RFID chipped golf balls and CMOS image sensors along with multiple other cameras and sensors to track the balls and score. The ball dispensing machine also uses the RFID chip associated with the ball and club to register it to you when you wave the club over the machine. This location will not be any different

Working class person and non-golfer here. I've never been to a Topgolf venue in another city, so I'm just curious about how much it costs to 'play a round'.

I assume you can use your own clubs?

Their profits will be in booze sales. Ridgeland will reap the rewards of the inevitable drunk driving fines.

You poors really should stick to sitting at home and watching TV while consuming fast food.

I drove by tonight. The parking lost was full!

I really want this to be a good thing and I hope it is.
As others mentioned though, it feels like Top Golf as a concept is on the down-slope of popularity in general.
Reminds me of Gigi's cupcakes or Crumbl Cookies. I worry the craze for Top Golf has peaked and that we won't have enough visitors or locals with expendable income to sustain it long term...but I hope I am wrong.

I the prices are high enough to keep out the undesirables.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
