For the First Time, Most Golfers Play Off-Course

Trevor Underwood now plays golf in a complex off the highway more often than on the lush course he has frequented for years.

“It sure beats the driving range,” says the 34-year-old marketing executive from New Braunfels, Texas. Underwood says his local Topgolf, a chain that offers food, drinks and simulated golf, is more convenient, even when driving there takes him past his longtime traditional golf course.
