Topgolf Mobile to Open Friday, November 17
Alabama’s third Topgolf venue will be located near the intersection of I-65 and Government Boulevard in the McGowan Park Shopping Center MOBILE, Nov. 2, 2023 – Modern golf entertainment leader Topgolf announced today it will open its Mobile venue on Friday, Nov 17.
The Basics
- Never been to a Topgolf venue? Think of it as a modern golf experience where anyone – including people who have never picked up a golf club and those who want to perfect their swing – can participate in the sport in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. You’ll take aim at giant targets on the field while playing virtual courses or Topgolf’s signature games like Angry Birds. And just so you know, Topgolf celebrates the bad shots just as much as the beautiful swings.
- Topgolf Mobile will be located near the intersection of I-65 and Government Boulevard in the McGowan Park Shopping Center at 1250 Satchel Paige Drive. · This will be Alabama’s third Topgolf venue in addition to existing venues in Birmingham and Huntsville.
- Globally, this will be Topgolf’s 95th outdoor venue when it opens on Nov. 17 and 85th in the U.S.
- The venue will employ roughly 200 Playmakers (aka Associates) – think bay hosts, bartenders, ball picker upper people, etc.
It’s Golf
- Topgolf Mobile will have 60 outdoor climate-controlled hitting bays spanning two levels. Each bay has lounge-type furniture or high-top tables where groups can cheer – or heckle – the other Players.
- The venue is equipped with Topgolf’s Toptracer technology, which traces each golf ball’s flight path, distance and other metrics.
- In addition to signature gameplay, Topgolf Mobile will feature a nine-hole mini-golf course to amplify the fun. · Bonus: On Tuesdays, game play is half-off!
- Players can even partake in lessons through Topgolf’s Coach program, led by the venue’s Director of Instruction.
It’s Not Golf
- Topgolf takes its “not golf” very seriously. What we mean: A full-service restaurant manned by executive chefs, 22-foot video wall, more than 100 HDTVs, music and year-round family-friendly programming are just as much a part of the Topgolf experience.
- Private event rooms and an outdoor area with backyard games also offer the prime spot for team outings, family gatherings, meetings or really anything Players are looking to celebrate.
