I built my own Top Golf in my backyard because it got too pricey

So I moved into a new house a few months ago and I’m lucky to have a drainage field right next to my place. I bought some targets, glow balls, and lights for the backyard. We hit from my patio and the drainage field goes about 85-90 yards into the woods. It’s like a chipping Top Golf and it’s actually turned out better than I expected. You know it’s a hit when even my wife says this is really cool. This video is my buddy Johnny’s first time trying it.

I’ll share some other photos in the comments. If you have any questions, feel free to ask…

He looked back like wow, that went where I aimed.

Can I be your neighbor?

Once they develop that field, anyone can be his neighbor.

Luckily, it’s a drainage ditch that’s been there for 30 years. I don’t think they can legally build there (keeping my fingers crossed).

I can sleep in a ditch.

Wouldn’t be my first time.

My life’s in a ditch.

My backyard is also a drainage ditch that they say can’t be built on, which has been true. Everywhere else is getting built up, but mine remains empty.

This is a great idea; I’m definitely going to try to create my own Top Golf too.

I thought you were hitting over water lol.

I thought those were street lights and you were hitting down the neighborhood road like Happy Gilmore.

@EmmaTaylor
What are those lights you’re using? I’m definitely doing this in my yard.

Also, just search ‘outdoor solar lighting’ and you’ll find a ton of cool stuff.

I don’t think you’re using Amazon correctly.

There was a seller who makes any sign you want for $30 and it delivered in 3 days. My wife doesn’t use Amazon correctly, though. She thinks it’s her personal playground.
