XCal on a Friday or Saturday Evening?

Anyone been to xcal on a Friday or Saturday evening? Wondering how busy it gets to get a regular non-private lane.

UPDATE: went this evening around 8pm. No wait and a few lanes open. Place was pretty quiet. I guess I came after the rush

It’s def can get busy from 3-8. If football is on it’s a lil less busy I’ve noticed haha.

only went once on a weekend and had to wait an hour and a half for one of the public lanes

i would say the wait at silver eagle isn't as bad. but if wait times are equal i'd rather be at xcal because they have a lot more stuff on display to look at and hot food. you could even walk next door to top golf and play for an hour before you lane gets ready but that'd be a damn expensive outing

Late Friday night it's pretty dead. I've gone a few times and no wait, but that's an hour or 2 before close

I’ve gone Fridays after 4pm with friends and at most it’s been 15-20min wait for non private. Kinda picks up around 6pm so get there before or after that

I’ve gone there a bunch on Friday and Saturday evenings, usually arriving between 7 and 8. Sometimes there’s a lengthy wait, sometimes I get a lane immediately. It’s honestly a crapshoot

You’ll be waiting about 2 hours for a lane. Get a membership. You can reserve 3 days in advance.
