New Year's Eve at Topgolf

Overview

New Year's Eve is a great time to reflect on the weirdest and most wonderful trends of the year. There's some we'd quite happily leave behind (Baby Shark, we're looking at you). But one that we're very much on board with is activity-based nights out. Gone are the days of just sitting at the pub for a few hours — the time we spend with friends now comes with a side of fun (and perhaps a little competitiveness). A prime example: Topgolf.

This worldwide phenomenon opened its first Aussie location on the Gold Coast in 2018. It's essentially a modernised driving range — guests have the choice of seven 'games' to play from a private, climate-controlled hitting bay, and all the golf balls are microchipped, allowing you to track and gain points for accuracy and distance. It doesn't matter if you're a complete novice or a burgeoning Tiger Woods — the aim of the game is to have a good night out with your mates.

And if you're looking to up your New Year's Eve game, Topgolf has special NYE-only packages for groups of up to six available. The standard package, at $780 per bay (or $130 per person for a group of six), includes four hours of unlimited play from 9pm–1am, unlimited soft drinks and food platters, featuring shrimp cocktails, pork belly and chicken pot stickers. The premium package, at $1200 per bay (or $200 per person for a group of six) includes all of the above, plus three hours of beers, wine and spirits and a glass of sparkling for the countdown. Great company in a cool setting — sounds like the ultimate double eagle to us. Get ready to par-tee.
