Just a reminder that this place continues to be closed (3 years now 11/18 to 12/21 as of writing this). Drive Shack - who owns the lease - is not in a hurry to develop this place and has shifted its business strategy to high-end mini golf venues in the Southeastern US. From the company's 3Q21 earnings call, they only mentioned "having a lease" in Manhattan and did not offer a projection as to when the facility would be open. They did note that it takes about 18-24 months to build out a driving range, so I wouldn't expect anything until 2024 at the earliest. It's a shame given the huge surge in popularity in golf that has happened during COVID. Drive Shack should opt out of the lease so that someone who actually cares to develop the land can move in. Randall's Island should do better due diligence next time and find someone more committed to opening this place back up. July 2024 update: Randall’s Park Alliance has said Drive Shack has dropped all plans to develop this property. What a shame.
