I don't really golf but there was a bday party for my adult son there Saturday. I was impressed! Food was really good, service excellent, beer, cocktails, kids versions so when they hit balls, the screen shows them like video games. No pressure other than to have fun and hit balls. The adults could just hit balls or play the video version with courses. Heaters above the seating that you can control, patio/deck type furniture. I would check it out for sure!

I took a group to drive shack for the first time. The time you walk in you are greeted. The front desk assisted with getting everyone where they need to be. The catering was on point. They worked with my group and the food was hot and ready for us when we arrived. As they golfed I visited the bar down stairs. Let me be the first to say Ryan is the best. He handled coming into a mess and the. The bar got busy and he cleaned it up and took care of everyone. Kudos to him for staying on point. The food was so great. Make sure when you go say hey to Ryan and tip him well. Thank you for a great night. We will see you guys again soon.

A Must-Visit for Families, Beginners & Golf Lovers!
(Ummm but… definitely get the top section!! 😬)
Kid-friendly, clean, and consistently fun — my son absolutely LOVES it here! It’s been the perfect place for him to practice everything he learned in his First Tee sessions without the pressure of being on an actual course.
If you’re thinking about introducing your child to golf (or testing out your own interest!), Drive Shack is the ideal place to start. It’s casual, fun-for-all, and gives you a chance to enjoy the game without needing experience. Add in great drinks, tasty food, and a relaxed atmosphere, and it really is a 10/10 experience every time.
Games & Interactive Golf Options
One of my favorite things about Drive Shack is the huge variety of interactive games you can choose from at the kiosk in your bay. They’ve got everything from lighthearted, cartoon-style games perfect for kids, to more advanced skill-based games that challenge adults.
The games feel like giant arcade-style experiences, where you earn points for hitting different targets across the range. Some games reward accuracy, others reward distance or strategy — so there’s truly something enjoyable no matter what your skill level is. You can be a total beginner or an experienced golfer and still have a blast.
Club Selection
I’ve always been impressed with the quality of the club sets available. They offer:
• Men’s clubs
• Women’s clubs
• Youth/kid-sized clubs (perfect for my son!)
Everything is organized, well-maintained, and easy to swap out if you want to experiment with different clubs during your session.
Family-Friendly Food & Drink Options
One small but amazing detail I love:
They offer organic juice for kids.
That is rare to see at entertainment venues, and it’s always appreciated. It’s such a thoughtful option for families who prefer healthier choices.
Their overall food and drink menu is solid, and it’s great being able to relax, eat, and play without feeling rushed.
⸻
Overall, Drive Shack Raleigh is fun, safe, accessible, and genuinely welcoming to both kids and adults. Whether you’re practicing, playing games, or just enjoying time together, it’s consistently a great experience. I highly recommend it! 🙌⛳💚 (again, top section!!)

We had such a nice date night at drive shack! There are plenty of options for vegetarians. The drink selection was exactly what we needed. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. If you don't know how it works, the staff was very helpful in explaining everything. The games are fun. We worked up a sweat and worked on our golf skills. We are going to make this a regular thing.

We had the absolute BEST experience at the golf bay center thanks to our incredible waiter, Noble! From the moment we arrived, Noble made us feel like VIPs. He greeted us with the warmest smile, checked in on us consistently without ever being overbearing, and had a great sense of timing with food and drinks.
What stood out the most was how attentive and personable he was—Noble anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask. He gave excellent menu suggestions, kept everything flowing seamlessly, and created such a welcoming, upbeat atmosphere that really elevated our night.
It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with genuine kindness, but Noble does it effortlessly. Our group agreed that his service made the entire outing unforgettable. If you’re coming to the golf bay center, do yourself a favor and ask for Noble—you won’t regret it!
👏 Huge thanks to Noble for making our night five stars all around.
