Topgolf in Woodbury has confirmed its October opening, according to a city development official.
The Woodbury location, on Bielenberg Drive near Interstates 94 and 494, will feature 102 outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays on three levels, with lounge furniture or high-top tables for groups to interact with other players, according to Topgolf. It will also use Topgolf’s Toptracer technology, which traces the flight path, distance and metrics of golf balls. It will be Minnesota’s second Topgolf, following the Brooklyn Center location that opened in 2018.
Topgolf and the neighboring Main Event, a soon-to-be-constructed arcade and entertainment hub owned by Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, are expected to engage community members and attract visitors from across the region, said assistant community development director and city planner Eric Searles.
“Woodbury has been actively pursuing more recreation and play-type uses in the community,” Searles said.
Topgolf goes beyond golfing to create an entertainment experience that includes a full-service bar and restaurant, more than 140 HDTVs, fire pits, music and year-round family-friendly programming, according to Topgolf. Private event spaces and a rooftop terrace can also be rented out for celebrations and events.
Topgolf Woodbury alone is anticipated to hire more than 300 people, according to Searles.
Meanwhile, a PGA Tour Superstore, which sells sports equipment, apparel and more, opened in June at 1555 Queens Drive, about a mile and a half south of the TopGolf location. And ParT Barn, a new restaurant and golf-simulator venue, will open later this year about two miles east in Lake Elmo.
“That presence will ultimately benefit the surrounding businesses and add more job opportunities within the community,” Searles said.
