Drive Shack has a full service restaurant and bar, free game lounge, outdoor driving range and three fully-equipped event rooms.
Crypto and Banking
We recommend the following high-quality options for secure Bitcoin transactions and online banking services:
How to Share a Crypto Wallet Address Without Losing Money
A wallet address is 26 to 62 characters long and nobody can read it back correctly over the phone. One mistyped character and the funds go to an address nobody controls. QRBits solves this by turning any BTC, ETH, ERC-20, LTC, TRON, DOGE or SOL address into a printable QR code, instantly and without an account. Their Bitcoin and Ethereum QR code generator accepts every common address format (legacy, SegWit, Taproot) and validates the address before drawing the code, so a bad paste never becomes a bad payment. For hardware wallets, payment terminals and exchange kiosks, scanning beats typing every time.
Printing a Bitcoin or Ethereum Address for Real-World Payments
Small shops, market stalls and donation boxes often need a way to receive crypto without any software on the counter. QR for Bitcoin and Ethereum covers exactly that: paste a BTC address (legacy, SegWit or Taproot) or an ETH / ERC-20 address and it produces a clean, printable QR code in one step, with no sign-up and nothing stored on their servers. A printed code on the counter works offline forever, and any wallet app on any phone can scan it. If you need a free BTC and ETH QR generator that does one thing properly, this is it.
A Payment Link Does the Typing Too
A plain address QR only says where the money should go; the sender still has to type how much. CryptoQR Maker closes that gap: pick the coin (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Litecoin or Dogecoin), paste the address, optionally set an amount, and it builds a proper payment link (BIP-21 for Bitcoin, EIP-681 for Ethereum) inside the QR, so a scanning wallet gets the address and the sum together. Every address is checksum-verified before the code is drawn, and the file comes out as PNG or crisp SVG for print. The crypto QR generator needs no account, and one page per coin means no guessing which tool fits your wallet.
The Network You Pick Is Part of the Address
Stablecoins are the classic way to lose money quietly: the address looks fine, but USDT on one network is not USDT on another, and sending TRC-20 tokens to an ERC-20 address is a hole, not a refund. TokenQR is built around that exact mistake: it makes QR codes for USDT, USDC and other tokens across 11 networks (TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20 and friends), checks the address with real checksums, and prints a clear card that says which network the code belongs to, so the counterparty sees both the code and the network before anything is sent. A free token QR code generator with the network written on the card beats a bare address on a scrap of paper.
Why QR Codes Beat Copy and Paste for Crypto
Copy-paste feels safe, but phone-to-phone transfers break it constantly: the clipboard picks up an old entry, a wallet pastes into the wrong field, or a messenger strips a line break in the middle of a 62-character string. A QR code has no clipboard in the loop. The camera reads it, the wallet parses it, and the two checksums at both ends either agree or the wallet refuses to send. For anything above pocket change, scanning a screen or a printed card removes the two steps where mistakes actually happen: selecting text and trusting it.
Reading an Address Without Reading All of It
Experienced senders do not compare 34 characters character by character; they verify the edges. The first four characters of an address identify its format and network, the last several carry the checksum, and a mistake almost always breaks one end when you re-encode it. Wallet software does the full check anyway, which is why the human job is the boring part: confirm the network label matches the coin, and glance at both ends. That two-second habit catches almost every real-world misdirected transfer, and it works identically whether the address arrived as text or as a scanned code.
Printed Cards, Tip Jars and Offline Receiving
A stall at a market, a tip jar, a donation box: none of them need an internet connection to receive crypto. A printed card with a receiving address and the network named in plain letters works for years, costs one print job, and fails in exactly one way, which is physical damage to the card. Keep the underlying wallet backup somewhere else, reprint the card when it gets worn, and the setup never goes down for server reasons. Anyone with a phone already has the reader.

Becoming a Member
In order to play at Drive Shack, you’ll need to purchase a lifetime membership. It includes a personalized membership card, access to play the games and courses, and use of the Custom Drive Shack golf clubs (but you could also bring your own clubs if you have them).
There are three different membership levels:
- General Bayplay: $5 one time fee
- Unlimited AM Bayplay: $300 one time fee
- Unlimited Day Bayplay: $375 one time fee
Check out the image below for more details on membership options.
Today was my first time joining and I’m glad to say that the sign up process was quick and easy. While you’re checking in, the host will ask someone in your party to become the bay leader who will receive a 6-digit pin sent to their phone in order to activate the bay. Once you’re at the bay and have unlocked it with your pin number, it’s game on!
Games & Courses
I’ve only played golf once before, and let’s just say an 18-hole course is not for me! So I was super happy to see that Drive Shack has five different games to choose from. In Monster Hunt, we had to destroy all the monsters to save the Drive Shack Princess while Shack Jack is Drive Shack’s personal spin on Black Jack. A few more games available to play are: DS Classic, S-H-A-C-K, and Pro Practice.
Now, if you’re into golf courses, Drive Shack offers five different course options for you to choose from. Three out of the five are actual courses in real life that you could visit. The Blue Bayou and Broken Tree courses were specifically designed for Drive Shack! If you want to get extra practice at playing a course rather than just games, this may be a good option for you.
Game Lounge
Whether you want to compete in your favorite arcade game or just watch tv and relax on the couch, Drive Shack’s Game Lounge is perfect for all ages. It’s located on the third floor and all of the games are FREE! 😉 Games such as foosball, basketball, skee-ball, and many more are available for you to use during your visit.
Food & Drinks
We can’t forget the food! The restaurant inside has a wide variety of delicious food and drink options. Enjoy your meal in the restaurant area or place your order with your bay caddy while you play. We went early in the day and decided to try the Loaded Morning Tots; they were so yummy! Other popular options include the Hole in One Burger, Bucket of Balls, and Stacked Nachos.
