TopGolf, one of the most popular golfing facilities in the state, plans to open its second Houston-area location, company officials announced.

Randy Starr, the company's chief development officer, said a groundbreaking will take place this week for the planned site at 550 Spring Park Blvd. in Spring, near the new ExxonMobil headquarters.

The company opened its Houston location in December at 1030 Memorial Brook Blvd., where over 250,000 visitors have teed off this year, company spokeswoman Adrienne Browne said.

Company officials expect the planned TopGolf Houston North to enjoy the same success when it opens next summer.

The new three-level facility will include up to 2,900 square feet of private event space and 102 climate-controlled hitting bays that can host up to six players at one time. Starr estimates that TopGolf Houston North will serve approximately 400,000 visitors in its first year of operation.

Almost half of all TopGolf guests describe themselves as "non-golfers."

"The TopGolf team has been blown away by the support the Houston community has shown us these past six months," Starr stated in a press release. "We are excited to bring another entertainment venue to north Houston and serve as an amenity to the thousands of people who will be working at the new ExxonMobil headquarters across the freeway (Interstate 45)."

TopGolf offers golfing games for all ages and skill levels and technology to track every player's shots. The facility also has 230 HD TVs and a restaurant.

"We are thrilled to be welcoming a second TopGolf location to Houston," Greg Ortale, president and CEO of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau, stated in a press release. "It's great to know that visitors have multiple options – depending on where they are staying in the Houston area – to golf at this unique attraction. TopGolf Houston North will contribute further to Houston's position as a prime recreational and leisure tourist destination."
