Topgolf added Germantown as its third location planned in the Washington D.C. region and its first in Maryland. Pending Montgomery County approval, Topgolf would begin construction on the 65,000-square-foot venue next fall, with an expected opening in fall 2018.
“Building in Germantown presents an exciting opportunity for Topgolf to establish the first entertainment destination in upper Montgomery County,” said Topgolf Director of Real Estate Development Devin Charhon. “For 11 years, D.C. has been a top market for Topgolf, and as we look to expand in the area, Germantown is a natural fit. It’s a fast-growing community that offers easy access to D.C. and is frequently recognized as one of the best places to live and work.”
Topgolf’s first U.S. location opened in Alexandria, VA in 2005. The company opened an additional venue in Loudoun County, VA last summer. The proposed Germantown site, owned by the Matan Companies, is located on Century Boulevard at the intersection of I-270 and Germantown Road.
“The recent opening of the Premium Outlets and now the Topgolf announcement represent a major shift in providing the residents and employees of northern Montgomery County a true live, work, play environment,” said Mark Matan of the Matan Companies.
The three-level venue includes up to 3,000 square feet of private event space and 102 climate-controlled hitting bays that can host up to six players at one time.
“Topgolf’s first Maryland location will help us attract approximately 500,000 visitors each year and will be a welcome addition to the many recreational activities available throughout our state,” said Secretary of the Maryland Department of Commerce Mike Gill.
