Start practicing your swing! Mississippi’s first Topgolf location will be up and running in just over two weeks.
Topgolf officials announced on Thursday that the Ridgeland entertainment venue will officially open its doors on Friday, December 20 at 8 a.m. after years of anticipation.
Located off Interstate 55 in Ridgeland at Colony Park Boulevard and Sunnybrook Road, the entertainment venue has drawn an immense level of support and enthusiasm from the public. While a specific opening date has not been announced, Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee gave us a sneak peek as to when the facility will be up and running.
Ridgeland’s Topgolf will feature 60 climate-controlled outdoor hitting bays, chef-driven menu items, top-shelf drinks, music, and year-round programming, per a release from the company.
“It’s not a golf course. It’s a place where people drive the ball, but they also can have receptions. It’s a place for birthday parties,” Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee said. “Basically, it’s a place where people can go and there are 60 different bays that they can enjoy for a family event or a business event. It’s very popular across the United States.”
Topgolf is expected to anchor its host site, coined Prado Vista, with plans to feature a national grocery store, two high-end hotels, office space, retail stores, a river walk, and over 200 homes in the future.
Developers also plan to use a wetland site at the location to construct a riverwalk to attract more tourists to the metro Jackson area. In all, Topgolf alone is anticipated to bring 200 hundred jobs and over $1 million in tax revenue to Madison County.
For now, the public can reserve a bay at Topgolf in Ridgeland as the grand opening approaches.
