Topgolf is a one-of-a-kind golf entertainment experience with seven competitive games and advanced technology to track the accuracy and distance of players’ shots. Constructed by ARCO/Murray, the three-level Topgolf Atlanta Midtown includes: 102 climate-controlled hitting bays; a full-service restaurant and three bars; more than 250 high-definition flat-screen TVs; a rooftop terrace with fire pits; and 3,000 square feet of private event space. The Topgolf app, available for free download on iTunes and Google Play, allows users to change the channel on the TV in each hitting bay.

“We are beyond excited to open our second location here in Atlanta,” said Topgolf Director of Operations Jamie Uhlir. “This is Topgolf’s first location in the heart of a city, and we see so much potential for Topgolf in the Atlanta market.”

Topgolf Atlanta Midtown hired approximately 450 local residents, and 150 of those positions are full time or full-time equivalent. Company officials estimate that this location will serve 450,000 visitors in its first year of operation. Combined with its existing location in Alpharetta, which opened in May 2014, Topgolf’s 10-year economic output in the Atlanta region will exceed $529 million.
