Topgolf Aiming for Knoxville as 2nd Tennessee Location

Through the premium experience of play, food and music, Topgolf inspires people of all ages and skill levels – even non-golfers – to come together for playful competition. Guests can enjoy point-scoring golf games using microchipped balls that instantly score themselves, showing players the accuracy and distance of their shots on a TV screen in their hitting bay. Topgolf venues feature a chef-driven menu, top-shelf drinks, big screen TVs, flexible private event spaces and music in climate-controlled hitting bays for all-seasons comfort. Year-round programming includes events for kids and families, social leagues, groups, golf tournaments and instruction.

Since the opening of Topgolf's location in Nashville this September, the venue has seen more than 135,000 visits and approximately 1,000 private events that range from corporate outings, birthday parties and more.

"Anchored by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville is a vibrant community with continuing job growth," said Topgolf Chief Development Officer Chris Callaway. Callaway anticipates that Topgolf Knoxville would serve approximately 300,000 guests annually. Nearly half of all Topgolf guests describe themselves as "non-golfers."

If plans progress, Topgolf would create 325 full-and part-time jobs at this location. The three-level venue would feature 1,500 square feet of private event space and 72 climate-controlled hitting bays that can host up to six players at a time.
