That’s no slight on Franklin’s baseball team. My support for the team and that component of Franklin’s Ballpark Commons is well-documented.

But hold on to your socks. Luxe Golf Bays that officially opens Friday will enjoy skyrocketing popularity. Luxe Golf Bays is a high-tech driving range, with a beer garden and two restaurants. Ever since the impressive reach to the sky poles went up at the site there’s been a buzz that actually started about the project months and months ago.

Last December Today’s TMJ 4 gave us a preview.

So, why do I say that this attraction could eclipse the allure of the Milwaukee Milkmen, who will always be a draw, thank you very much.

I don’t have to tell you how much people love golf. It’s not a sport. It’s a religion.

As Mike Zimmermann stated, this is for everyone, not just the scratch golfer.

And this isn’t rocket science. The absolute beauty of Luxe Golf Bays…open all year-round.

Finally, a reliable source I won’t mention, but he works at the Rock and is on the Milwaukee County Board tells me the food is phenomenal, prepared by top notch chefs.

Luxe Golf Bays. The latest Franklin diamond. Thank you, Ballpark Commons.
