Topgolf confirmed Huntsville as its second location in Alabama. The venue will be located on the property being redeveloped into MidCity. Construction on the 53,000-square-foot location begins in March, with an expected opening in late December 2017 or early January 2018.

“Topgolf is something truly unique to Huntsville, and we are excited for residents and visitors to be able to experience this entertainment concept in the Rocket City,” said Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle. “The project in MidCity fits well with our vision for a live, work, learn and play community. Everyone needs space to play, and Topgolf is a proven leader in sports entertainment.”

The three-level venue will feature 1,500 square feet of private event space and 72 climate-controlled hitting bays.

“As the fastest-growing metro area in Alabama, Huntsville is a natural fit for our expansion in the state,” said Topgolf Director of Real Estate Development Devin Charhon. “Adjacent to the venue sits the second largest research park in the country. Our placement within the community couldn’t be more ideal, and we are excited to bring a new option for entertainment to the people of Huntsville.”
