After more than a year in the making, Chasing Aces, a $25 million sports and entertainment destination, officially opened to the public on Monday, June 16, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Bossier Chamber of Commerce.
Set on 27 acres next to the Margaritaville Resort Casino, the new venue is already turning heads in the Shreveport-Bossier region, offering a dynamic blend of recreation, family fun, and social gathering space—all built around the love of sports.
“Chasing Aces has been an exciting development for our region, and we are excited to see the economic impact on Bossier City as locals and tourists enjoy this facility,” said Lisa Johnson, President and CEO of the Bossier Chamber of Commerce. “Now that they’ve officially opened their doors, be sure to pay them a visit!”
The facility’s multi-level driving bays offer high-tech golf entertainment, but Chasing Aces goes well beyond the standard driving range. The venue features a nine-hole par-three course, a professional-grade putting green, and the area’s first Home Run Dugout Batting Bay Experience™, adding baseball into the entertainment mix in a way never before seen in the region.
For those looking to relax and refuel, Chasing Aces includes a full-service sports bar, diverse dining options, and an elevated club lounge. CEO John Dudley and COO Mike Mitton said they also plan to feature guest menus from local chefs, turning Chasing Aces into a culinary destination as well.
The complex is equally committed to education and community engagement, with a golf academy for fifth graders and anyone eager to learn the game. Event space is also available for weddings, tournaments, and corporate functions, making the facility a hub for both play and celebration.
Dudley shared that the vision for Chasing Aces was to create something for everyone—a place where a skilled golfer, a young child, or someone swinging a bat for the first time could all find enjoyment.
The grand opening drew a strong crowd, with attendees eager to explore the facility’s features and try out the attractions. Early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with locals praising the venue’s family-friendly appeal and modern amenities.
With its grand opening now complete and its doors officially open, Chasing Aces is poised to become a landmark destination not just for Bossier City, but for the entire Ark-La-Tex region.
Whether you’re aiming for a hole-in-one or swinging for the fences, Chasing Aces invites everyone to come play, dine, and unwind—no experience required, just a desire to have fun.
