Louisiana's
second Topgolf venue will be located in the Ambassador Town Center
approximately 15 minutes from downtown Lafayette
DALLAS, Nov. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern golf entertainment
leader Topgolf announced today it will open its
Lafayette venue on Friday, Dec. 15.
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 Lafayette will be in the Ambassador Town Center
approximately 15 minutes from downtown Lafayette at 301 Meadow Farm Road.
- This will be Louisiana's
second Topgolf venue in addition to Baton
Rouge. Topgolf also has plans to open a venue in
New Orleans by early 2025.
- Globally, this will be Topgolf's 97th outdoor venue
when it opens on Dec. 15 and
87th 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 Lafayette 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 cool
metrics to impress your friends.
- 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, rooftop terrace
with fire pits, more than 200 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.
What They Said
- Topgolf Chief Operating and People Officer Gen Gray: "We
can't wait to bring more play to Louisiana! Consider this an open invitation to
the Lafayette community to come
out, have fun and just let loose – no golf experience needed to
have a great time!"
- Lafayette Mayor-President
Josh Guillory: "Topgolf's
upcoming opening is an investment in our community that will
enhance quality of life while also creating new jobs and fostering
economic growth for Lafayette.
It's a fantastic addition to our city's entertainment options and a
great asset that will draw in visitors from surrounding
cities."
- President and CEO of the Lafayette Economic Development
Authority (LEDA) Mandi Mitchell: "We are thrilled to have
Topgolf join our community to further enhance the quality of life
in Lafayette Parish and Acadiana.
Family recreation and entertainment play a large role in retaining
and attracting families and young professionals in the region, and
LEDA is committed to expanding the available options for enjoyment
and employment in Lafayette
Parish. Golf is nearly a year-round activity in Lafayette and the opening of Topgolf will only
serve to increase the love of the game in our community."
