NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – After the Metro Council approved plans for a major sports facility last May, Topgolf Entertainment unveiled their plans Thursday to break ground in the next few weeks.

Topgolf Nashville is expected to open the first quarter of 2017 at its 13-acre site at Cowan Street and the Jefferson Street Bridge in east Nashville, right on the Cumberland River.

Topgolf offers competitive golfing games for all ages and skill levels, as well as “advanced technology” to track the accuracy and distance of a players’ shots.

The new, three-level facility will include 3,000 square feet of private event space and 102 climate-controlled hitting bays that can each host 6 players at a time.

Anyone who just wants to relax at the entertainment venue “can enjoy the upscale, laid-back ambiance that boasts more than 230 high-definition flat screen TVs and an extensive food and beverage menu.”

“Nashville is one of the most exciting, fast-growing cities in the country,” said Topgolf Vice President of Real Estate Development Zach Shor.

“It’s a major destination for sports, entertainment and music, which makes it a perfect market for Topgolf. Our location will be less than a mile north of Nissan Stadium, so this will give football fans another place to celebrate on game days.”

Shor estimates that Topgolf Nashville will serve approximately 450,000 visitors in its first year of operation.

It will create 450 full- and part-time jobs and its economic impact is expected to exceed $264 million over a 10-year period, according to a third-party audit.
