TopGolf is coming to Des Moines.

I tried out the TopTracer range at Toad Valley with heated bays and indoor lounge area. Definitely different than TopGolf because you are hitting uphill instead of from an elevated tee. Also, all of the results you get are from a couple of cameras rather than where the ball actually goes.

Not a big fan of the price, and hope more courses don't take away their grass ranges to put in these facilities.
Is this just a simulator? When I searched on it the pics looked like one. I was under the impression you were in a building hitting into the open air.

Their website hasn't updated to include any pictures of the new facility. They do have a pair of very nice indoor simulators.

The new facility is a building with seating, but you actually hit outdoors (under an awning) at targets similar to TopGolf. Somewhat similar to the picture below, but the doors between inside and outside are smaller, and there is an automatic ball feeder like what TopGolf has.
