Another Topgolf may be coming to Minnesota soon.
A source tells Axios, the digital news site, that the popular driving range and entertainment venue has its sights set on Woodbury. Topgolf opened its Brooklyn Center location in September 2018.
Axios reported Friday morning that developer Ned Abdul plans to develop a nearly 14-acre parcel at the southeast corner of the Interstate 94 and Interstate 494 interchange. A development map identifies part of the land project as “golf entertainment” with a proposed use of “outdoor golf driving range.” A source told Axios that Topgolf will be the user.
Topgolf officials on Friday morning declined to comment.
Topgolf just opened its 81st U.S. location in Rhode Island; it has 10 locations in other countries.
TopGolf in Brooklyn Center, which features golfing bays stacked three levels deep, has been wildly successful since it opened. From more than 100 climate-controlled tee-off rooms, golfers hit balls across a 215-yard driving range. Microchips in the balls instantly report the distance of each shot.
Topgolf officials describe it as a “sports-entertainment experience” that features high-tech golf, food, drinks and music.
“Think of it as a place where anyone can participate in the game of golf in a relaxed, no-pressure environment,” according to Topgolf. “You’ll take aim at giant targets on the field while playing virtual courses or Topgolf’s signature games like Angry Birds — and so you know, Topgolf celebrates the bad shots just as much as the beautiful swings.”
