Topgolf may be eyeing a new location in Arkansas – this time in Little Rock.

Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr. appeared on KARK Channel 4 to talk about making progress in his search for the city’s next police chief when the discussion of the entertainment company came up.

According to Scott, he has a meeting with Topgolf officials on Tuesday, February 19, to discuss the possibility of bringing the company to Arkansas’ capital city.

“We actually have a meeting this coming Tuesday,” Scott says. “We have a really good opportunity.”

Bringing the company was not a planned, strategic goal, according to Scott, but came up organically. He credits “the power of social media” for helping to bring the meeting to fruition. “I was responding to a constituent about whether or not we should have a Topgolf. I’m actually a fan of Topgolf,” he said.

Topgolf subsequently reached out to Scott, and he says there have been ongoing discussions between the mayor’s office and the company.

The Topgolf opportunity is reflective of his overall job philosophy as mayor, Scott says. He plans to court job creators no matter what industry they are in. “My goal is to be the chief growth officer no matter the type of job or quality of life…” Scott says.

Topgolf is currently in the process of bringing a new location to Northwest Arkansas. In October 2018, the company filed a preliminary site plan with the city of Rogers to build the company’s first Arkansas location. The groundbreaking for the 11-acre location is expected to be held in Spring 2019 and to have its grand opening in early 2020.
