    INSANE VALUE and OVERALL VENUE. Sims need to be tried to believe, unmatched 4k clarity, instant response as ball hits screen. If you like xgolf you are going to love golf square more. Massive sports screens, full bar, electronic darts, live music and the FOOD!!! This food would be amazing in a stand alone restaurant, including wood oven pizzas. The deal that is current at time of this review is a $15 Parma and Pot!! I mean that is a price from pre 2000s and was one of the best parmas going around. Honestly, and very very generous serving. I now basically live there due to the current limited $89 monthly membership where you can play every single day! GET DOWN AND SUPPORT THIS LOCAL GEM
