Golf & Games Family Park

id-south residents and visitors can now experience interactive golf entertainment at Golf and Games Family Park. Toptracer Range, owned by Topgolf, has be added to 40-acre family entertainment park. “We’re very exited to bring the Toptracer Range brand to Memphis and the mid-south,” said Golf and Games Owner Aubrey Smith. “By adding the Toptracer Range system to our park, we are adding golf entertainment to our already successful golf range.” Toptracer Range’s ball tracking technology, currently used on televised PGA events, offers six options to experience:

The Toptracer system offers a launch monitor, what’s in my bag (great for testing each club), virtual golf (Pebble Beach and SpyGlass are two of the courses), closest to the pin, long dribe and points contest. “We have a strategic plan to transform and enhance the range experience for golfers and non-golfers alike,” said General Manager, Aaron Bos. “We look forward to serving the next generation of mid-southerners, as we have the last 55 years.” In addition to the Toptracer system, Golf and Games Family Park renovated the multi-level Lasertron arena, updated party rooms and games in the arcade.
