2. Top Golf

At Top Golf, you can leave the golf cart behind. Top Golf is a game designed for all players and abilities. Instead of an 18-hole course, you’ll be hitting balls at large targets on a field — kind of like a game of darts. The balls are micro-chipped for easy, automated scoring, and you’ll get points based on how far and accurate your shots are.

Top Golf Dallas has over 70 bays, so your team can rent one or more bays for the night. Best of all, the bays all have WiFi and climate control; in addition, you can order food and drinks without leaving your game. There are also fire pits on the patio and three miniature golf courses for additional fun.

And as mentioned, Upstairs Cirus also has a full bar and kitchen, so you can dine and drink while you craft.
