But as someone who is neither of them and who just lives in BR and hates seeing closed-down businesses, I don't love the idea.
Weren't you one of the posters that swore that Top Golf would fail because there was no market in Baton Rouge?

Competition is usually a good thing. If a place gets run out of business, it was probably meant to happen.
My guess is that Top Golf has more staying power between the two of them. But I've never seen a Golf Suites before. Maybe it's better.
17 acres isn't something that's easy to open up in a place like New Orleans. These places tend to open near highways, and Lafayette seems to be growing in the opposite direction of I-10. Covington, Slidell, Hammond or Mandeville are probably a lot easier marks than new Orleans for this. Maybe even Jefferson Parish.

Dude, I don't remember what I posted yesterday. I have no fricking idea
I stumble on old threads sometimes and see posts I have no memory of.
I like Top Golf okay and it seems to do well, but I think 2 of the same place in a city BR's size (with our fickle population) right next to each other is iffy for sure.

With exception to the proposed location, I think both can be successful. TG seems to stay busy and having an alternative to go to without an appreciable wait will help both facilities.
As with most businesses, its fate will be determined by the crowd it attracts and the experience it provides.
