WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.,
Oct. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Drive Shack opens the doors today to its
three-story, 96-bay West Palm
Beach venue. Based on the premise that good times are meant
to be had, not just talked about, Drive Shack ignites the fun with
a mix of friendly competition, food and drinks, and interactive
golf gaming.
Drive Shack will also kick off Drive4Change, a club donation
drive to benefit The First Tee of The Palm Beaches. Committed to
supporting the communities in which it serves, Drive Shack—with the
support of 2nd Swing and the PGA TOUR Superstore—will be collecting
used clubs to help benefit The First Tee and support its mission to
positively impact the lives of young people through the game of
golf. People can swing by Drive Shack anytime from opening day
through Nov. 3 to donate golf clubs,
anything from a single iron to a putter to a full set of clubs. In
return, those donating clubs will receive up to $100 of free BayPlay, based on the number of
clubs donated.
Donated clubs will be valued and converted to cash donations
with the help of 2nd Swing, and all Drive4Change proceeds will
be given directly to The First Tee of The Palm Beaches. In
addition, Drive Shack, with the support of the PGA TOUR Superstore,
Delray Beach, will be presenting
The First Tee of The Palm Beaches with brand-new sets of junior
golf clubs to give to the young members they serve.
The go-to entertainment outlet for social seekers who want a
fresh alternative to the typical day and nightlife scenes, Drive
Shack offers guests the chance to socialize in one of 96 private,
all-weather driving bays as they try to best one another at a
variety of fun augmented-reality games. No membership is required
to play; access to the range, golf clubs, unlimited balls,
interactive games and virtual courses are all included in the
hourly price.
Guests can also compete at a number of retro arcade games
dispersed throughout the multilevel venue; sip cocktails at the
rooftop bar and lounge equipped with firepits; watch sporting
events on one of the venue's more than 300 TVs; and hit up Drive
Shack's special and themed events, including social leagues, boozy
brunches, live music nights and holiday bashes.
Drive Shack offers a chef-driven menu with dishes designed to be
shared, from truffle flatbreads to pork wings to watermelon poke
bowls. For dessert, there are specialty ice cream sandwiches
featuring unique and locally influenced flavors — like key lime,
which can only be found at Drive Shack's West Palm Beach location. The bar offers a
variety of creative cocktails, canned wine, local craft beers and
surprising treats, including boozy cereals.
The West Palm Beach venue is
located at 1710 Belvedere Road, West Palm
Beach, FL 33406, and will be open from 9 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and
from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and
Saturday. Pricing ranges from $25 to $45 per
hour, based on the time of day. For more information, visit
