'Golf entertainment facility' coming to Sanford Sports Complex in Sioux Falls —- Top Golf like

[Uffda]

The $12 million, 54,000-square-foot building is being billed as a “golf entertainment facility,” with a restaurant, a video game-filled children’s area, meeting space, Sanford POWER Golf Academy and an interactive driving range.

The concept was originally based on interactive driving ranges made popular across the United States by Dallas-based Topgolf, Krabbenhoft said. Topgolf has dozens of locations including one coming soon to Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.

Great Shots, however, will be owned and operated by Sanford and will include a few unique features designed to keep with the authenticity of the sport and serve athletes who want to improve their game.

The heated driving range will be open year-round, with interactive technology provided by Big Shots and Flight Scope for ball tracking.

The range will have three floors of bays to hold up to 60 golfers at a time.

Like Topgolf, players will hit balls into a heated outdoor bay into different zones that will be used to score games. Unlike Topgolf, Great Shots will use real golf balls, said Kevin Lampe, executive vice president for Sanford Sports.

We saw it a few weekends ago when in Sioux Falls for a hockey tournament, looks very nice. The air show was going on at the same time which was cool because it was right by the rinks.

In that case, I saw it too. We were there as the same time as the airshow too. We stayed right across the street from the airshow.

Were you in that hotel right by all the sports facilities? I think it's a Fairfield? That area is very impressive. We stayed by the mall in a Holiday Inn Express.

No, we booked on Priceline and that was one of the options, but we stayed in the Baymont. Kinda run down but it was clean and the staff was great. Also loved having such easy access to everything. I really like Sioux Falls. This was the first time I had been there in 6-7 years and that area just continues to grow.

We tried this while in Sioux Falls last weekend for a hockey tournament. Took a bunch of the boys there between games on Saturday. Very nice and reasonable. Staff was great too.
