Topgolf Breaks Ground in Columbus

Through the premium experience of play, food and beverage 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.

Topgolf's economic impact in its local communities is remarkable, creating 500 full- and part-time jobs at each venue and serving as an anchor tenant that tends to attract other popular franchises to the area. In fact, its economic output in Columbus alone is expected to exceed $264.5 million over a 10-year-period, according to a third-party audit.  

"The success of our Cincinnati venue has paved the way for additional growth in Ohio," said Topgolf Chief Development Officer Chris Callaway. "With the strong economy and continued growth in Columbus, we are excited to bring our all-seasons venue to the area for the local community to enjoy."

Since the opening of Topgolf's location in West Chester near Cincinnati last year, the venue has seen more than 500,000 visits and approximately 2,200 private events that range from corporate outtings, birthday parties and more.

The new Topgolf venue will be located at 2000 IKEA Way in Columbus. Callaway estimates that Topgolf Columbus will serve approximately 450,000 visitors in its first year of operation. Approximately half of all Topgolf guests describe themselves as "non-golfers."
