The target date to open a massive golfing and entertainment site near I-69 in Fishers is taking a mulligan.

Topgolf International officials said the opening for a center on 116th Street was being moved from spring to fall 2017 because of construction planning delays.

The exact reasons for the delays were unclear, but Topgolf spokeswoman Morgan Wallace said in an email that "it is common that construction timelines shift a bit in the early stages of a build."

The Fishers City Council approved the $18 million, 65,000-square-foot business in January, and construction recently began next to the planned IKEA on 116th Street, also under construction.

Topgolf attracts golfers and nongolfers with televisions, food, drinks and computer-aided, competitive golf games. It likens its signature game to bowling or darts, but with golf balls. The center in Fishers will have three-levels, be open year-round and include up to 3,000 square feet of private event space.

The location was originally to be along 116th Street near Cumberland Road. Autumn Gasior, a spokeswoman for Fishers, said there were questions about the land use at that site so it was moved west to I-69. Gasior said the location was what Topgolf had originally sought.
