Get ready, Buckeye fans and golf lovers — one of the most unique sports experiences you’ll ever have is coming to Columbus this week.

Upper Deck Golf is taking over Ohio Stadium from Thursday, April 24 to Saturday, April 26, and trust me, you’re going to want to clear your calendar for this.

Imagine Top Golf… but inside the Shoe. That’s the vibe.

At this one-of-a-kind event, you’ll actually play a round of golf from the upper deck of the stadium, aiming for custom greens scattered across the iconic field below. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or you’re just in it for the vibes (no judgment here), it’s an insanely fun way to get outside, get active, and experience Ohio Stadium in a way most people never will.

After your round, the stadium clubhouse will be bumpin’ with music, cold beer, food, and interactive golfing challenges — basically, the perfect hang whether you’re rolling deep with your friends or bringing the whole family.

Bonus: If you want to level up your experience, you can snag a VIP tee time.

VIPs get access to the driving, chipping, and putting challenges for free, plus complimentary food and drinks. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Other important stuff to know:

  • Standard clubs will be available if you don’t want to lug yours around.
  • You can bring your own clubs if you want (but for safety reasons, no drivers or fairway woods allowed).
  • It’s family-friendly but still a blast for a grown-up night out.

Why You Should Go

Whether you’re a die-hard golfer or just someone who loves an excuse to hang out inside the ’Shoe without 100,000 other people around, this is a rare, bucket-list kind of experience. Plus, when else can you say you took a wedge shot from the upper deck at one of the most iconic stadiums in the entire world?

Tickets are already live and some time slots will definitely sell out, so if you’re thinking about it… just go for it.

(Trust me, this beats another round at the local driving range.)
