Topgolf Entertainment Group confirmed it is targeting a late 2022 opening for its new venue in Glasgow, its first location in Scotland.
Glasgow will be home to Topgolf’s fourth U.K. site, adding to over 70 venues operating in six countries, which “attract over 30 million players per year combined.”
Construction has progressed for the future venue, with U.K. property company Ashfield Land leading the development at its Two 74 site. The three-level venue, located off the M74 near Rutherglen, is expected to employ more than 300 when open. It is part of Clyde Gateway, one of Scotland’s larget development projects.
Topgolf Glasgow will feature three stories with 72 climate-controlled outdoor hitting bays.
The U.K. is where Topgolf started in 2000 when it was founded by the Jolliffe brothers.
“The U.K. holds a special place in our hearts as it’s where our Topgolf story began. It seems very apt that the next leg of our journey takes us to Scotland, the original home of golf,” said Topgolf Vice President of International Steve Lane. “The Glasgow venue will be like nothing the country has ever seen. We’re thrilled to kick-off this development together with our partners at Ashfield and introduce a venue where friends and families can safely play together and share experiences.”
Steven McGarva, development director, Ashfield Land, said: “We’re proud to be working with Topgolf to deliver its first attraction in Scotland, the home of golf, here at our Two 74 Glasgow development. The unique attraction is really starting to take shape and we’re pleased with how construction is progressing. The new Topgolf will create approximately 300 new jobs and we look forward to it opening to the people of Glasgow later this year. I’m sure it’ll be a huge success.”
