All things considered this thing was built quickly.

A long time in the making but it seems like the opening announcement came out of nowhere. They only recently installed the astroturf and had assumed they still had a ways to go. I guess not.

We should enjoy it before it’s ruined. Prob a month and a half tops.

Any word if they have any accommodations for cold weather? Seems like they’re opening late in the season if they don’t plan to have a way to keep ppl warm outside on the bay.

I don’t think taking your own driver and a few irons is stupid, but to each their own. I also never enjoyed drinking with most of my coworkers, you see them enough during the day.

I think they're overexaggerating about the crime, especially since I'm sure security will be tight around the area, but there's absolutely nothing weird about bringing your own clubs. Used to go on business trips in the Bay Area, and tons of those guys brought their own clubs.

I am assuming you're from Baltimore, and if you're really from Baltimore city you know damn fact it is a complete shit show. You should know that and if you don't see it you're part of the problem living in a fairyland thinking its wondeful. I am Born and raised in east baltimore city.

But... you didn't answer it. You made a sweeping generalization about the whole city and tried it sell it by saying you were born and raised in East Baltimore.

You didn't explain your initial response at all...

I wondered what the exact concept of this was (not a golfer) so finally googled it- which led to googling “drunk bros falling in net top golf” after seeing the setup. Did not disappoint.

I’m a different person but I also live in the city.

For context, I’ve been lucky enough to live in a lot of places, in different countries and here in the US. But nowhere i lived felt like home until i landed here in January 2014, almost nine years ago. I’ve lived here long enough to live in an apartment, then buy and sell a house in midtown (and I sorely miss living in midtown). And know what I did after selling my house in the city? I went and bought another house in the city.

I’m not blind. I know this city has problems. But I’ve experienced life in a broad range of places that, on paper, are “better.” Fact of the matter is everyone, everywhere has problems - and they impact people in myriad ways. Because of all that, and because I like living here so much, I do everything I can to stay involved and help make the experience better for everyone. It’s a lot of work but it can and does happen.

I’m sorry the experience of living in the city seems to have not worked well for you. But I really want to recognize that people can have full and happy lives here. And people who are happy with their lives are not “part of the problem.”

It’s basically just turning golf into a social, bowling alley-like concept. It’s worth doing for non-golfers, it can be pretty fun. It’s also probably going to be an absolute madhouse for the first few months.

I hate to lose good wetlands but the land there now is better than it was before. The contractors capped over contaminated soil that had been polluted with years of industrial waste and was leaching into the Patapsco river. The fill used was certified clean fill. So they basically made new clean land where old dirty land used to be. The "creek" that is now in a culvert is tidal. It used to lead to a mill where ravens stadium is.

Yeah, it’s worth checking out. The areas you hit from are elevated so the good thing is that even if you really struggle and top the ball (meaning hit the top of the ball and fail to get it in the air, which most beginners tend to do), it doesn’t just go like 10 feet, it will still go a decent distance and potentially make it into some of the closer targets. So you don’t really need to be able to consistently hit good golf shots to be able to participate. And you can set up a bunch of different games and competitions on the screen so you can specifically aim for the shorter targets or whatever you want to do.

My biggest suggestion to those who have never been is just to book a half hour or an hour and go from there. It can get VERY pricey very quickly and once you are in a bay you can always just add more time in 15 minute increments as you see fit.

Like the casino has been destroyed? Or ravens stadium has been destroyed? Or the aquarium has been destroyed? Or the art museum has been destroyed?

I literally have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

What attractions get destroyed?
