The much-anticipated O’Reilly Hospitality Management-affiliated Big Shots Golf opened ahead of schedule May 17 at the corner of Kearney Street and Glenstone Avenue.
The facility features 56 driving-range bays on two stories with 3,500 square feet of event space, a golf academy for year-round training, full service restaurant and bar and an array of amenities for avid golfers and non-golfers alike and fun seekers of all ages, according to its website.
The facility is led by General Manager Brian Inman, who most recently served as the general manager of DoubleTree by Hilton in Springfield, a property also owned by O’Reilly Hospitality, LLC.
“I’m excited about this career change,” Inman said, in an August 2020 press release. “I’ll get to hit a bucket of balls any time I want.”
“Brian is one of the strongest leaders in our company, and this will be a great new challenge for him to build a new team that will bring a dynamic and fun filled experience to southwest Missouri,” said CEO Tim O’Reilly. “This will be a game changer for our area and Brian is just the person to lead the charge for us.”
