Good news for golfers: PGA Tour Superstore, a sports equipment and apparel retailer, is launching a nearly 36,000-square-foot location in Woodbury this summer.
Minnesota’s second PGA Tour Superstore will open at 9 a.m. June 14 at 1555 Queens Drive in the Woodbury Village shopping center. Opening day will feature “thousands of dollars in merchandise giveaways” to those first in line, according to a release from the retailer.
“This is a booming golf market. With 95 golf courses in the area, the metro-Twin Cities are an obvious expansion market for us,” general manager Ron Gornick stated in the release.
PGA Tour Superstore’s Atlanta headquarters was the “first off-course specialty golf and tennis retailer in the country,” according to the company. The retailer has over 74 US locations, including its first Minnesota location at on 12380 Wayzata Blvd. in Minnetonka.
“People are excited about the store opening in June,” Megan Mahoney, PGA Tour Superstore communications leader, said.
Golfers often camp outside new stores for days ahead of opening for a chance to win golf equipment like iron sets, drivers, putters, range finders, apparel, footwear and more, Mahoney said. Items are given away on a first-come, first-served basis until there are none left to give away.
Along with selling retail equipment, the facility will have interactive features including six practice and play bays, 1,264 square feet of indoor putting greens, four simulators for club fitting and an interactive demonstration bay for in-home golf simulators.
“In-home golf simulators have gotten very popular and so we will have an in-home demonstration bank where you can test out the different monitors that are available,” Mahoney said.
The facility also includes a repair shop for club regripping, adjustments and repairs. Certified teaching professionals can provide lessons in-store, according to the release.

“There is a lot of golf up in that area, so it was an area that we knew we would look to expand, so we’re excited about the Woodbury location,” Mahoney said.
Woodbury is home to several golf courses, clubs and event spaces.
