Tee Shots started with a simple problem: on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, owners Joshua Ackles and Trent Griffith had nothing to do with their kids in town. That moment sparked an idea: build a place in Jerseyville where families, friends, and teams can have fun together.

Joshua and Trent grew up here. Back then, the choices were “go bowling or sit at home.” Today, Tee Shots offers something better—an easy, welcoming spot to play, laugh, and compete. They planned the business with their wives, Ashley Ackles and Kara Griffith, with one goal in mind: community first.

“It’s the whole reason we did it. The community is the highest priority that we have.”
— Joshua Ackles
