The top tracer is up and running, and they are officially $20 for a large bucket. Small is almost $15 with tax and still a worthless 30 balls. Same trash balls.

Unfortunately there aren’t many options around here. I think the top tracer is a total waste but I’m sure some people will enjoy it.

I think the tracer camera on the right side is already broken because half of the time it didn’t even register my shots unless I hit left of center or a duck hook. It’s a shite show.

Timberlane on The Wank installed top tracer and covered hitting bays. It’s really nice and has better golf balls.

Yikes. That's ridiculous. It'd be slightly better if they had some legitimate balls that were giving good feedback, not crappy range balls giving almost useless feedback.

It was nice the first week or two before they upped the price.

And in my experience the right 10 or so bays do not register any shots.

I would have much preferred them investing in newer, higher quality balls and/or lights than toptracer.

Supposedly they put up new lights. Idk I guess we‘ll see over the next month when it’s dark by 5.

I just heard that they have a $5 million renovation project planned to upgrade the driving range and old clubhouse. No details yet.

You can see pretty well out to the 100 yard marker in the dark with the new lights. Decent to the 150. Went early this am around 630 before a tournament

I go there relatively frequently (including 2 days ago) and it’s $10 plus tax for a small and $16 plus tax for a large. Still too much, but there is some exaggeration going on in this thread lol.

I always hit from the top bays. The tracer tech seems to work pretty well up there.

If you go frequently you should look into the punch card. Pretty good discount

Definitely a good thought. I just have commitment issues lol. Half the time, I’ll go out to Chateau in Kenner for the chance to hit off of grass around less of a crowd. Also, they don’t use a ball machine over there (so they don’t have the constant machine issues Bayo Oaks has)

It definitely is worth grabbing a punch card for that 30 ish percent discount though.
